Science Plan

Content-
Endothermic and Exothermic reactions
Science-Chemistry -- Standard 4 Objective 2
This would be used in 5th or 6th grade

Pedagogy-
I will be observing the students as they are the main ones doing the experiment. I will help them with vocabulary as we go and asking them questions about what they think is going to happen and if they are able to classify the reactions as endothermic or exothermic. I will then have them make a table that tells the kinds of reactions that are endothermic or exothermic. They will be able to also make graphs of the temperatures of each of the reactions as they take place. Then I would like them to look at the data that they have created and tell me about it in a written paragraph.

Technology-
I will be using the temperature probes and the probes will be in the reactants before the reaction starts and as it progresses so that the students can see whether it is getting cooler or warmer. They will also be able to see how long it takes to get to the temperature that it finishes at. I will be projecting the screen so that the whole class can see it at once.

My Peers Virtual Tours

The people whose virtual tours I looked at were Emilie, Alyssa Young, Ashley Howden, and Ashley Daley. I thought that they all did a fabulous job. I learned a lot more about google earth through looking at their projects! I also saw a lot of ways to use google earth that I didn't initially think of like for science!

TPACK for virtual field trip--Hogle Zoo

The content that I will be using in my lesson will be animals that can be found in a zoo. This is a first grade level standard. My objective will be to help the students become more familiar with the animals that do not live in the wild in the area that we live in. I chose to do a virtual tour of this topic because I don't know if I will be able to take my students to the zoo and if I am unable to I would like them to be able to see photographs of the animals that they would be able to see there. The pedagogy I will be using will be exploring with the students let them think of all the different things that they can think of about the animals that they will be meeting and then fill them in on questions that they may have. I will be using Google Earth to help the students be able to see what the zoo is like from our classroom. I think that this would be fun for the students because even though they are still sitting in the classroom they get to interact with the animals and learn more about them.
