-
5 Es of Instructional strategy
- Engagement- pique children's interests, solicit prior knowledge usually in the form of an essential question.
- Exploration- provide opportunities for children to encounter new information necessary to answer the essential question.
- Explanation- children express what they have discovered during exploration
- Elaboration- time for children to apply, exercise and transfer newly acquired knowledge
- Evaluation- both formative and summative
-
Observing
obtain info or data about objects and events
-
Using Space/Time Relationships
ability to discern and describe directions, spatial arrangements, motion and speed, symmetry, and range of change
-
classifying
process scientists use to impose order on collections of objects or events
-
Inferring
Using logic to make assumptions from what we observe and question.
-
Hypotheses
begins with an explanatory model, it's a proposed relationship put forth to explain a phenomenon
-
Prediction
a specific forecast of future observation or event
-
Independent variable
variable being tested
-
Dependent variable
the change that is measured
-
Controlled variable
all factors that could be change are kept the same.
-
Defining operationally
