Document Summary

This science will be more active science and relate it to the living world. (more focused on pedagogy) Two things to attend to in the course outline: attendance, assignments. Up for a week and no extension. Driving questions (cycle 1 or cycle 3) We need to give children with things to help them understand science topics. We need to take a socioconstructivist approach. Cience is (cid:862)a(cid:863) way of understanding the world (cid:894)science is not one way(cid:895) As they progress through school they will progress and understand certain things. Ambitious science teaching is about giving you experiences. Building interconnected ideas and not to memorize. The bottom stayed still (force/gravity pulling it up) until the top dropped down (gravity. In the video the top dropped first and then came all together also pulling it down). We can teach in science the way our students understand it. Teaching strategy: (we did this strategy with the slinky video)
