2. Explain science
behind a spacecraft launch and how Newton’s Laws of Motion apply to
spacecraft launches |
Complex Thinking Information Processing |
View Segment 2 on DVD
Physical Science |
Psychomotor (acquiring knowledge) |
|
|
Perform demonstrations of
each law then discuss why results differ and how they might apply to a space
launch |
Psychomotor (executing actions,
acquiring knowledge) Cognitive (evaluation) |
|
||
|
Use online Journal to
record findings and experiences after each session |
||||
|
3. Work in diverse learning groups to plan, form
hypotheses, analyze data, draw conclusions |
Collaboration/Cooperation Information Processing |
Partner to design a
spacecraft in the Digital Lab in Jason Online. |
Psychomotor (executing actions,
acquiring knowledge) Cognitive (application) |
|
|
As a group be inventive using various materials to build two rockets
with one of greater mass than the other. |
||||
|
Record and analyze data to determine
whether a rocket’s mass affects how high it will travel |
Cognitive |
|||
|
Discuss how a rocket launch
demonstrates Newton’s Laws of Motion and how their design will affect height
of launch. |
Cognitive |
|||
|
*Special Needs Students will have equal access by pairing with a student in the group |
|
|||
|
4. Observe and identify factors of launch of rockets and draw final conclusions |
Complex Thinking |
Measure height and factors
of each groups rockets |
Cognitive (evaluation) |
|
|
Record heights of rockets
for accuracy in a video |
Psychomotor (executing actions) |
|||
|
Identify which factors
played a role and write a concluding statement |
Cognitive (synthesis) |
|||
|
Teacher Goals: |
|
|
|
|
|
1. Integrate technology into
student-centered activities that reflect real world situations and lead to
improved student learning. |
Complex thinking Information processing |
Select appropriate
technology tools |
Psychomotor (executing actions) Cognitive (synthesis) |
|
|
Identify lesson outcomes |
|
|||
|
Engage students in real
world situations and activities |
||||
|
2. Create purposeful
goals and assessment activities |
Complex thinking Information processing |
Plan the instructional unit
with “Big Questions” and Focus Questions from online Jason materials |
Cognitive (knowledge, comprehension,
analysis, application, evaluation) |
|
|
Monitor student progress |
||||
|
Develop assessment
instrument that is flexible for diverse learners |
||||
|
Professional Goals: |
|
|
|
|
|
1. Improve
questioning strategies to clarify teacher goals and improve communication. |
Complex thinking Information processing Collaboration/cooperation |
Ask questions in a positive
way that encourage teacher to identify critical components in lesson plan Ask positive questions that
have the spirit of inquiry and build trust |
Psychomotor (executing actions) Cognitive (analysis) |
|
|
2. Utilize effective
coaching/mentoring skills to guide team teachers to create technology rich
units that address needs of diverse learners. |
Collaboration/cooperation Effective communication Information processing |
Determine appropriate
technologies for lesson objectives Analyze needs of diverse
students |
Psychomotor (acquiring knowledge) Cognitive (evaluation, analysis) |
This is how I believe the successful accomplishment of my
goals will lead to improved student learning.
Using current real world situations will enhance the ability of students to visualize concepts in science and the understanding of Newton’s Laws of Motion. Working in collaborative groups to plan, construct concepts and question experiences will allow all students to construct new knowledge. Integrating knowledge with multimedia simulations, with inquiry and creative thinking skills will lead to higher level thinking.
This is how I plan to evaluate my progress toward
reaching my goals. (checkpoints, indicators of
success, etc.)
By assisting teacher to create online assessments and monitoring students progress to check to see if they are on target with her learning goals. Also, conduct a post conference after the lesson to check to see if teacher has any areas of concern. Use coaching and questioning skills to clarify to see if she feels desired outcomes were reached. Commend her efforts!
We agree to work together as a collaborative team to implement this plan.
