Sept 16 class

Today in class we discussed what it means to be proficient in science and the four strands. The four strands are Understanding Scientific Explanations, Generating Scientific Evidence, Reflecting on Scientific Knowledge, and Participating Productively in Science. All these topics go into depth about different aspect of science and how teachers can use them to their advantage.
At the end of class we created a board game. This board game is very educational and can help the students realize all the safety features in the science classroom. The game is very easily played and easy to set up. This type of game can be used for any grade level and the students will still understand it. Everything tied together today and relates back to different ways in which we can engage our students in the classroom and find better ways to teach them.
