When you say ‘science’, one thinks of experiments and research. To do research, scientists conduct experiments to answer questions and learn new information. These experiments follow a specific sequen
...quence of steps called, ‘The Scientific Method’. Use these instructional strategies and activities to help students understand the Scientific Method and how it is applied to science experiments. Activities include determining the difference between a statement and a question, practice writing questions, understanding measurable/ non-measurable information, naming components of an experiment, and conducting an experiment using the Scientific Method.
All living things are organized in groups according to similar characteristics and common ancestry. Each groups start from the largest and progress to the smallest. These instructional strategies and
... activities help students understand the scientific classification system (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order...). Activities include creating a Kingdom wheel, student research, living v. non-living, charting common characteristics of animals, and using critical thinking skills to create their own charts.
In examining students’ writing samples, there is often a lack of description related to the aspects of composition. For example, most students are familiar with and describe color, shape, size, and lo
...location but what something is made of is frequently left out. Using the periodic table and understanding chemical elements can support the awareness of composition. Use of this knowledge can expand descriptive writing. These instructional strategies and activities can be used across the curriculum to reinforce understanding of elements and how they relate to everyday life. Activities include matching elements to every day objects, creating a class periodic table, student research, and how elements are used to produce fireworks.
Changes in the state of matter are physical changes, not chemical changes. When a substance moves from one phase to another it is still the same substance. These instructional strategies and activitie
...s can be used to introduce or reinforce states of matter. Activities include sentence completion, categorization, finding text evidence, and using critical thinking.
Scientific study is the observation and measurement of change. Use these instructional strategies to teach students the basic scientific units of time (standard and metric). Activities include exami
...ning root parts such as "chrono," " -ology," reading comprehension and critical thinking, and ideas for extension lessons and student research.
The
word ‘science’ comes from the Latin word for knowledge – scientia.
According to the Merriam -
Webster dictionary it is ‘knowledge about or study of the natural world based
on fac
... on facts learned through
experiments and observation.” It is systematic, intellectual, and
practical.
Frequently, the instructional model for children who are deaf or hard of
hearing concentrates on language development and science learning is
considered to be extra. This
instructional material includes a lesson on SOUND as a means to exemplify a science instructional
strategy
What is ‘visualization’ in science? Scientific research uses the words ’visualization’, ‘image’, ‘visual aid’, and ‘visual literacy’ interchangeably. The term ‘visualization’ is defined as the formati
...s defined as the formation of mental images and as the process of interpreting information in visual terms. It assists with the explaining, developing, and learning of concepts. These instructional strategies and activities will help you help your students with concepts across the curriculum.
This BUNDLE of instructional materials for teaching science concepts includes teaching packets on the science of colors, rainbows, asking questions, classifying living things, scientific elements, sta
...tes of matter, time measures, visualization, and the value of science.
