         <description><![CDATA[<div>Science interests and questions:<br>-I wonder how the CCSS will look in comparison to ELA and Mathematics. <br>-If I don't understand a scientific concept, how will I be able teach it to my students?<br>-What are some resources that can help with my first year teaching Science? <br>-How many hours on average does a teacher that uses the STEAM approach spend instructing science lessons?<br>-I wonder why there was such a limited use of science or inquiry-based approaches in my elementary schooling. <br>-I wonder what the exact science is of spirituality. What causes people to believe in something? Where does belief come from?<br>-I wonder what types of students I will be working with in the spring and am curious about the process of learning about their science assets and strengths. <br>NOVEMBER 22, 2020<br>-In thinking about common science misconceptions, I wonder how much of the misconceptions the general public believes is true. <br>-I also wonder if there are any public schools that honor no homework policies. I assumed it was more of a private/charter school occurrence. <br>-I wonder what a heat wave is. Like, the ones that visibly alter vision if looking far off in the distance. Or, where the concept of a mirage came from. Is it a hallucination from heat exhaustion?<br>DECEMBER 13, 2020<br>-I wonder what some of the major challenges are in teaching science. <br>-I wonder if funding is the determining factor of the quality of instruction the children will receive.<br>-I wonder why oxygen feeds fire. I'm sure I knew at some point and forgot. (I am currently staring at a candle.)</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1-2 tips a week; learned in class:<br>-5E model consists of engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate, repeat if needed.<br>-CCSS and NGSS standards differ in formate. NGSS presents standards in phases and presents a connecting standards section that connects the content to other subject standards.<br>-STEAM is meant to encourage curiosity, ask big questions, and provoke creativity in the exploration of problem-solving (Institute for Arts Integration and STEAM).<br>-I observed a first grade class once where the teacher used a microphone to speak to her class. I thought it was genius.<br>-Student jobs always go well with the children. I usually see them do their job with pride. Jobs are definitely something I would love to incorporate in my classroom. <br>NOVEMBER 22, 2020<br>-It is important to acknowledge that our personal views can influence grading and how we determine a child's achievement.<br>-A point of view: that when students figure out how their new knowledge fits into broader life and experiences, they then gain true understanding (Pg.68, Cox Petersen).<br>-In student group work and sefl-assessment, supply a rubric/self-reflective scale for students to check off and assess themselves.<br>-Show students how rubrics are designed/co-creating rubrics with students helps them understand  the relationship between instruction and assessment. It also allows students to see the fairness and equity within the rubric. <br>-Build opportunities for reflection generously! It is vital that students make connections to content and experience. <br>DECEMBER 13, 2020<br>-A strategy that allows students accessibility to instruction is to redistribute authority and redefine classroom responsibilities.  Students and teacher are to share decision making about content and activities.<br>-Some suggested community resources are as follows: aquarium, science center, public library, local park, school garden, county landfill, and water treatment plant.<br>- It is beneficial to the community to have established a relationship with classroom and community. Members of the community enjoy helping when provided the opportunity.<br>-It is important to set extra time aside for students who are culturally and linguistically diverse so that they can explore at their own pace.<br>-Teachers must allow students to make their own connections to prior knowledge and instruction at their own speed.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My Science partner is my mother, Marlene Ochoa. I am looking forward to discovering some Science findings with her. We live together so it makes it a little easier to work with Science. Mom is also a Science enthusiast herself and loves talking about Science and learning about it. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My partner and I did the Make a Lava Lamp experiment. We used an empty 2 liter iced tea bottle with the label peeled off, water, vegetable oil, food color, and alka seltzer tabs. We did the experiment twice and each time was excitingly beautiful. I asked questions like what contents make up alka seltzer tabs and why do water and oil repel each other. The answer, oils are hydrophobic or water-fearing. I believe this happens to do with atomic make up of the elements. My partner was the guiding force in our experiment since they have done this exercise with students a couple years ago. The experiment went smoothly. Because we have a lid to the tea bottle we were able to turn it around and watch the contents mingle in a colorful frenzy. Because I have child-like curiosity, I find myself becoming enthusiastic in learning about and teaching science. I enjoy teaching content any way, and being helpful in the learning process. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><a href="https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/left-right-brain-dominance#instructions">https://www.sciencebuddies.org/stem-activities/left-right-brain-dominance#instructions</a></div><div>The activity is called Are you Left Brained or Right Brained. I asked four other people questions regarding instruments and senses. This question has always interested me. My mom is left-handed and I always felt that she was so special and artistic and beautiful. Other left-handed people I know happen to also be very creative or crafty as well, and musically inclined. However, I am right-handed and very artistic and creative. There are definitely exceptions. This experiment went well. My science partner was the first I interviewed and as mentioned before she loves science. I had a friend quiz himself over the phone with the same objects used at home. He was more than willing to help out. I asked my partner to write her name. Then I put a coin on the floor in the center and in front of her and asked her to step on it. Then I asked her to use a toilet paper roll to find out which eye is dominant. I asked her to hold my phone up to her ear. I followed the same procedure with my dad and sister and myself. My friend Johnny was approachable over the phone. This experiment was more guided by me. I felt like the student, however. And I could see children doing this same experiment with their peers and family members and enjoying collecting the data. What I learned about myself in modeling the interview for my partner is that people are usually willing to help with science experiments. Also, people have a genuine curiosity for answers to inquiries. I learned also, that I exhibit patience when working with others especially when I am modeling or teaching instruction. I modeled the process for my partner briefly. I didn’t want my own results to affect her intuitive decisions. </div>]]></description>
