In this video segment from Teaching Middle School Physical Science, teacher Nadine Coletta uses a lab to teach her students the scientific concepts and vocabulary related to light. First, she draws out what students already know about light in a classroom discussion. The class then considers the questions in the coming lab and makes predictions. Coletta describes the lab procedure and the students begin. Coletta remarks that the activity gives students real-world experience with scientific concepts; by directly experimenting with light, students can make these concepts more concrete.
You may find it useful to watch this video with a group of your colleagues and then discuss it together.
Are there modifications you might make to the goal, the environment, or the strategies used in this video that would make this lesson more useful in your teaching practice?
Academic standards correlations on Teachers' Domain use the Achievement Standards Network (ASN) database of state and national standards, provided to NSDL projects courtesy of JES & Co.
We assign reference terms to each statement within a standards document and to each media resource, and correlations are based upon matches of these terms for a given grade band. If a particular standards document of interest to you is not displayed yet, it most likely has not yet been processed by ASN or by Teachers' Domain. We will be adding social studies and arts correlations over the coming year, and also will be increasing the specificity of alignment.
