Reading Reflection 3 by Brandee Ba https://padlet.com/brandeebash12/rr3 The Learning Cycle & NSTA Position Paper en-us 2018-01-27 03:22:16 UTC 2018-01-27 03:51:14 UTC hello@padlet.com The Learning Cycle brandeebash12 https://padlet.com/brandeebash12/rr3/wish/225260895 The five E model for inquiry and interactive notebook. 
The five E's are; 
  • Engage: make the students interested in learning. 
  • Explore: Letting the students explore and experiment with the materials for the lesson. Give the students simple open ended directions. Let the students do the discovering.
  • Explain: The teacher will start asking students questions to get them to figure out the concept. Plan your questions ahead of time.
  • Extend: Allow the students to apply what they have learned in a new, but related way.
  • Evaluate: A place for assessment. You can do this throughout the whole lesson.
Inquiry is the best way to teach science. It allows the student to understand concepts based on their experience in the lesson.

  • Students learn science best when, they are involved in first-hand exploration and investigation (inquiry based learning). The instruction builds directly on the students conceptual framework. The content is organized (we could use the interactive notebooks). Mathematics and communication skills are an integral part of science instruction. 
  • Teachers must have a positive attitude toward self, society, and of course SCIENCE! (: 
  • The administrators must provide a support system in science by, supplying appropriate materials, equipment and space to learn. Recognizing exemplary elementary science teaching, and encouraging special science events. 
  • Assessment must be aligned with the value of the lesson, the problem-solving model of instruction, concept application, inquiry, and process skills.
