To create your Science Curriculum Package you will need to do the following:
Obtain (Library check-out is fine) a science-oriented FICTION literature book (It must tell a story, Should NOT be a non-fiction trade book). Be sure to list this book in your resource reference list.
Prepare 5-7 questions for the student to answer during or after reading the book .
Develop (adapt or adopt) at least one science activity that relates to the topic of the book
Describe How the Data is to Be Collected and Communicated
Design an assessment tool to provide you information about the student’s performance in acquiring new knowledge and skills as a result of this curriculum package.
Write a Formal Lesson Plan including an overview of Scientific concepts/principles addressed, Scientific Process Skills Utilized, MSS-NGSS/CCSS and objectives addressed, answer keys, student pages, assessment(s), and references used in developing the project.
If we were meeting face-to-face, I would ask you to bring in the actual “Kit”, Science Curriculum Package, within a sturdy, secure container able to hold ALL the contents.
For those of you who will not be student teaching or certified in the next year, you could have a single representative set or photo of the materials for the science activity to keep in storage, after this class, until needed.
Since we are virtual, a detailed materials list, copies of the guidelines, directions for students, labels, and all reference citations included in the lesson plan will document your work to share.
