Activity 2: Choosing a grade and a topic to develop


 

30 mins



 

This module guides you through the planning and production of a learning activity for one of your science classes. In this activity you will decide for which grade and topic you would like your resource to be.

Activity

Please note that the choices you make in this activity will be used for subsequent activities, so choose carefully.

  1. You may like to look back at some of the websites you searched in the previous module, ICT Resources for Science Educators. In Activity 2 of that module, you developed tables to summarise what Science resources can be found on a website. Possibly you found a site and a topic there that you would like to use and develop into a learning experience in this module.

    1. Read the topic list for your grades in the science curriculum and then select a topic and sub-topic to develop for your classroom use. Make sure that it will cover the required 4 hours of science learning.
  1. Open the word processor file called my choice of topic. Record the following information.
  • The grade you will be developing your resources for.
  • The topic and sup topics for your resources.
  • The kinds of activity you might use to develop your learners in this topic.
  1. Share your selection of topic with your group by sending a message to your group (using the subject heading "My topic").

  2. Complete the e-diary. Record your thoughts about your learners and their needs. Try to think of the best way of making science accessible to them.

Click here to open the e-diary. Save it in your personla folder and then open it from there.

Note: Your tutor will have indicated to you which format to use for your e-diary. The Word document linked above gives you the basic template for a reflective journal, but your tutor may require you to use another tool such as a blog to capture your reflections. If you are unsure, consult your tutor.
