Standard B Teachers of Science guide and facilitate learning. In doing this, teachers Focus and support inquiries while interacting with students. Units 5 through 9 are designed for students to work together to design and create models. This allows the teacher to assist groups and interact with individual students in the groups. Orchestrate discourse among students about scientific ideas.
Students work together on the experiments and models.
During modeling students naturally compare ideas and concepts in building their designs. Challenge students to accept and share responsibility for their own learning. Students can be encouraged to research questions asked during experiments and activities. Recognize and respond to student diversity and encourage all students to participate fully in science learning. The basis for recording is a lab notebook, with both art and data collection used to record information and ideas.
