Science (For Roel)

Assignment Instructions

In the activity that follows, you will be asked to design an interdisciplinary learning activity. Though there are no requirements as to structure, a popular means for initiating technology enhanced inquiry in many content areas is the WebQuest. A simple search for the term "WebQuest" will provide links to many high quality sources. However, the following might be a good place to start if you are interested in WebQuests.

Education World - Creating a WebQuest

The WebQuest Page

Again, you are NOT required to use a WebQuest in the following activity. This has been provided simply as an additional resource.

Reconsider Experiment 10 and the subsequent discussion. Decide upon two areas, outside of science, that relate to electrical circuits. Next, create a framework for a series of lesson plans (at least three - one of which may be a variant of Experiment 10) in which students will make interdisciplinary inquiry about electrical circuits. Submit this activity as a word document. I am asking you to complete ONLY a framework for your lesson plans. This may resemble an outline, a series of working notes or other methods that you might use for planning. The only required elements are:

1.Clear connections are made between the content areas.

2.The 5E Model is used across disciplines.

This should NOT be an extensive project. A paper of 2 - 3 pages would be considered adequate. I am looking more for evidence of creativity and the ability to teach in an interdisciplinary fashion than I am with a formal document.
