In class today we discussed chapter 2 of Ready, Set, Science. This chapter discusses the four strands of science. 1) Understanding scientific explanation, 2) Generating scientific evidence, 3) Reflecting on scientific knowledge, and 4) Participating productively in science. These four strands are the skills we hope our students eventually acquire. I learned that in order to be proficient, we need to view science as a body of knowledge as wells as an evidence based enterprise.
In class we also discussed classroom and lab safety. We made a Safety Game Activity that would be fun to play with students in the first week or two of school to help them learn all of the safety rules while in the classroom.
