Chapter 5
As a future teacher we have to know the standards of the state and make sure that our lessons are reaching those standards, chapter 5 talks about how to create our objectives according to the standards. It gives a sample of the National Science Education Standards guidelines. Chapter 5 also talks about how to pick a topic for the lesson. Since science is everywhere, we teachers have to plan on what is important to know according to the grade level. I like the questions the book provides us to think about as we learn to teach science.
· How can you select content topics that are aligned with national and state standards?
· How can you develop and write learning objectives.
· How can you create activities that engage students in meaningful learning?
· How will you design activities for the body of the lesson that enables students to attain learning objectives?
· What strategies will you use to manage student behavior?
· How can you bring it all together to implement effective science instruction in your own classroom?
Others have said that this chapter provided the most in terms of practical suggestions for planning lessons and managing classroom instruction. If that's true, then I would suggest that you go back to it as a resource that will work for you as well.
