It will give the student an opportunity to apply the skills and knowledge of the lesson to solving real-world problems. Working in groups will also help foster social awareness and promote individual responsibility (some of my students work much harder when in groups because they don't want to let their peers down).]]> 2021-07-13 21:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126870 Closure misswolak https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126871 An exit ticket that provides the student a mechanism to reflect on the lesson can help reinforce what they have learned.]]> 2021-07-13 21:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126871 Means of Representation misswolak https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126874 Students are provided the information in text, pictures, diagrams, data tables, video, music, and verbal discussion.]]> 2021-07-13 21:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126874 Means of Action and Expression misswolak https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126875 In addition to traditional tests, quizzes, labs, and hands-on projects, students are offered a variety of creative methods to express what they know.

Since both my lessons and the learning menus are on Pear Deck slides, I can review them immediately and see which students need more support. I can then provide academic support to those students, while allowing the students who understand the lesson to continue on at their own pace.]]> 2021-07-13 21:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126881 Advanced misswolak https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126883 For students to take an active part in trying to address the human impact of our increasing population on natural resources, students were challenged to design and build (either physically or virtually) a hydroelectric turbine. This is an example of what one of my students have done in the past.]]> 2021-07-13 21:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126883 Special Needs misswolak https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126884 In addition to addressing the specific needs as listed in IEPs and 504 plans, I provide the following:
1. All lesson slides are provided to students in advance of the lesson
2. Written answers to all questions in the lesson are provided to the student after we review the material in class (so even students who cannot take notes will have access).
3. All videos are provided to the students so they can be re-watched.  Students can also use closed-captioning.  Written transcripts are provided for all BrainPOP videos.
4. A graphic organizer to help students take notes during the BrainPOP video.
5. Lesson text can be modified according to the student's needs using the Immersive Reader function in the Pear Deck slides.
This video and others were created in collaboration with Christine Boudreau a colleague who uploaded them to YouTube for new science teachers to use.]]> 2021-07-13 21:26:50 UTC https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126884 *Oil Spill Inquiry Based Lab misswolak https://padlet.com/misswolak/9ganjr7whkp6xhni/wish/1648126885 Detailed lab, CER and data/graphing performance assessment is in google classroom

Minerals, fresh water, and biosphere resources are limited, and many are not renewable or replaceable over human lifetimes. These resources are distributed unevenly around the planet as a result of past geologic processes. (MS-ESS3-1) ESS3.B: Natural Hazards ▪ Mapping the history of natural hazards in a region, combined with an understanding of related geologic forces can help forecast the locations and likelihoods of future events. (MS-ESS3-2) ESS3.C: Human Impacts on Earth Systems ▪ Human activities have significantly altered the biosphere, sometimes damaging or destroying natural habitats and causing the extinction of other species. But changes to Earth’s environments can have different impacts (negative and positive) for different living things. (MS-ESS3-3) ▪ Typically as human populations and per-capita consumption of natural resources increase, so do the negative impacts on Earth unless the activities and technologies involved are engineered otherwise. (MS ESS3-3),(MS-ESS3-4) ESS3.D: Global Climate Change ▪ Human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earth’s mean surface temperature (global warming). Reducing the level of climate change and reducing human vulnerability to whatever climate changes do occur depend on the understanding of climate science, engineering capabilities, and other kinds of knowledge, such as understanding of human behavior and on applying that knowledge wisely in decisions and activities.
