Students should be able to classify substances as elements, compounds, mixtures, metals, non-metals, solids, liquids, gases and solutions

MIxtures and their seperations are someting which would develop out of classifying substances.
NOS 2 - I found this learning outcome is of great importance especially regarding practise for the Classroom Based Assessment. Students generation of their own questions and hypotheses is a very relevent to their learning and the new Junior Cycle specification.
NOS 3 - Very applicable for students conducting in the CBA, students are in control of their own learning and of planning an experimentative procedure. This was demonstrated by students in lesson four.  ]]> 2018-05-08 14:57:47 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/258942268 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/258949460 Classify – Group things based on common characteristics CW 4 ]]> 2018-05-08 15:12:16 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/258949460 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259039885 This was used to help unpack my LO into Understanding, skills and values]]> 2018-05-08 18:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259039885 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259046644 2018-05-08 18:35:17 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259046644 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259051963 2018-05-08 18:47:52 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259051963 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259059392 Throughout this unit I tried to touch off as many key skills as I could. The main ones I integrated were: Communication, Literacy, Working with others and Managing information and thinking.
Communication this was the main key skill my cooperating teacher and my tutor got me to focus on. These students didnt like to answer out in class therefore to encourage communication, I introduced alot of pair work and group work. This in turn developed students key skill of Working With Others. This I believe is a major life skill also. To be able to work cooperatively with other people where all ideas are heard and appreciated. This requires respect.
I believed it was very important that students understood various key words to apply to fulfilling this unit and getting the most from it. therefore the key skill of Literacy was very applicable.
I want my students to be understand and learn the knowledge they are taught in school but ultimately I want students to be able to apply their knowledge to real life events therefore managing information and thinking is a skill I found very applicable to this unit of learning. ]]> 2018-05-08 19:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259059392 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259068696 2018-05-08 19:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259068696 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259069439 2018-05-08 19:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259069439 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259069993 2018-05-08 19:37:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259069993 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259071806 Links to health eating and sugar content were used ]]> 2018-05-08 19:43:43 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259071806 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259072812 This shows how distillation can be used for survival in life]]> 2018-05-08 19:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259072812 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259074679 2018-05-08 19:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259074679 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259075516 2018-05-08 19:55:30 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259075516 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259077136 A simple game students can play to test their ability to classify elements, compounds and mixtures]]> 2018-05-08 20:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259077136 Deirdre_97 https://padlet.com/Deirdre_97/cx0dzpl0o79j/wish/259077782 This can be used as a game where students must match a picture with technique and its definition.
