CHAPTER 5: PLANNING AND MANAGING INQUIRY INSTRUCTION
Chapter 5 goes into more about teaching inquiries and how to regulate it. The theme and topic of this chapter is management and national, and state expectations. This chapter plays a role in how to plan your science curriculum. Through four titles your practical approach to science can be the science content, the instructional objectives, the learning activities, and assessment. Science content is extremely important because it’s here where you learn how to engage the students and play off of their inquiry. Furthermore, it’s important because this is how you introduce the facts and theories of a certain topic. This can further lead into integrated parts of the curriculum such as: reading, writing, listening, speaking, watching (observing), and doing (experiment).
I found this chapter to be an extension of chapter 4 in where chapter 4 gives you the ideals on how to guide your students, in ch.5 it shows how to organize and guide these activities. This chapter is straight forward in the respect of what is expected of you as the teacher teaching the science curriculum. Following state and national goals; guides a teacher into what and how he or she will approach a science lesson plan. This chapter made perfect sense and nothing confused me. I have no questions for this chapter, it tells you how to deal with disruptions during an activity and how to step-by-step prepare for the activity or lecture for the day. It was an excellent chapter.

ReplyDeleteThis chapter is a very practical guide for writing lesson plans. It comes at a good time when everyone is getting ready to write lessons for their unit project. The classroom management guidelines are also excellent. I'm glad you pointed that out.
