Nov. 4 Class

Today in class we continued to talk about the 5 E's. We talked about how to apply these to help our science teaching. One of the goals of the class period was that we would be aware of the resources in the book and elsewhere. I think that if as a teacher you apply the 5 E's to your teaching, you have to be aware of all the resources around you. To effectively teach, I don't think it can all come out of the textbook. You have to find sources from elsewhere so the students can gain a broader knowledge about the subject information and how to apply it to their lives. So, through the lecture I learned how to apply the 5 E model in my classroom in designing a lab during the class period. But, also I learned that you have to look else where for information on subject material to help enhance your students learning.
