Science Lesson
The lesson I chose to demonstrate to second graders is that matter can change forms, and that in doing so it is neither created or destroyed. The scientific concepts associated with this lesson are notions of matter, the fact that matter can change shape and form, and that in doing so it still exists. This is a lesson that was specifically designed to meet the curriculum for second graders in California as denoted by the Next Generation Science Standards (Next Generation 16). It is indicated as such on p. 16 of a PDF that was downloaded from the aforementioned entity's web site; this document is entitled "DCI Arrangements of the Next Generation Science Standards." This same standard, labeled "Matter and Its Interactions" is also found on the same site in a pdf entitled 2 Combined DCI Standards, which includes a document called "Second Grade" (Next Generation 2). In this document, "Matter and its Interaction "s is found on the second page.
There were three students that were involved in this lesson: a second grade boy named Jason, a second grade girl named January, and a second grade boy named Fred. These students had myriad reactions to this particular...
Essentially, they learned that matter is not immutable. The basics of the lesson included taking matter in one form and transforming it into a different form. Finally, that matter was transformed into its original form so that the students could see that these changes were in fact reversible and, despite them, that matter would continue to exist. The students all seemed to grasp this concept full well. The most difficulty that they had was with the particular matter we utilized for this experiment. Two of the students had known water and ice as distinguishable "things" -- they were not aware that water makes ice and that in some instances, ice can make water. They seemed to have a little more difficulty than the third, January, who had watched her mother put water in the freezer to make ice cubes. All of the students grasped the lesson's core concepts; however they appeared much more profound to the two little boys. When I asked them how they thought ice formed they both told me that they did not know, and had never given it conscious thought.
The turning point in the lesson was…

Lesson Observed In all professions there is a need for an evaluation of the outcomes and milestones achieved during a set period of time and the changes that need to be made to make greater progress. Reflecting on milestones and other outcomes is also a common phenomenon in teaching. Most of the time, teaching success is evaluated using the scores achieved by students in exams and other activities. An alternative
Science Education My view of science tends to be a typical Western one, where previous scientific knowledge is used to build new scientific knowledge. In addition to the component of observation, research is used to determine a theoretical background before new scientific knowledge is built upon this basis. When considering the indigenous perspective, one interesting thing to take into account is that this perspective does not necessarily need to clash with the
Do you disagree with any of Pope's opinions or pronouncements in the Heroic Couplets or "An Essay on Man"? Pope is critical of individuals who "cry, if man's unhappy, God's unjust," suggesting that the unhappiest people are people who blame God, rather than themselves for all of their troubles, or who curse God because their lives are imperfect. The need to accept life's imperfections while still working to enact positive changes

Choose lessons ag I believe that there are a number of critical points of veracity elucidated within lesson three regarding the value of literature to Christians and to those who embrace Christianity. Actually, I have a number of strong convictions regarding literature in general; one of my mantras is that anything of true value in this world -- that which extends beyond
Due to the hearing impairment, there will be included next to the Braille pictures of American Sign Language to correspond with the vocabulary words presented in Braille. With his vision being impaired, but entirely gone, this will help him better connect Braille words and phrases with sign language, which he is already quite fluent in. Thus, this lesson is essentially helping him gain more tools to help him read
