Lab Week One

Focus Questions: 

The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions? 


1. What did you learn this week? 

This week during lab we discussed as a whole getting to know each other, our future classroom designs, and what we knew about science standards (NGSS). We also discussed what and how students should learn during science time. That discussion led to us talking and exploring the NGSS website. 

2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? 

I already knew that every state has its own standards, and I have I gone through Iowa's standards a lot. I did not know that the NGSS has its own mold for how it is being used across the US. I understand now that there is a three-dimensional mold to it. 

3. What are new or remaining questions? 

One question I have from this week is how do I really make sure I am incorporating the three-dimension in my lessons.

  1. Hi Kallea! I really enjoyed reading your post. I have similar background knowledge to you in regard to the NGSS. I knew each state had specific requirements, but I did not know what the NGSS was. I think it seems like a wonderful thing and I am excited to learn more! I am also curious as to how I can best incorporate the three-dimensional mold into my teaching in order to best accommodate my students in learning their science best. Keep up the good work!

  2. Hi Kallea! I enjoyed reading your post and seeing what you had to share. As the comment above, I also have a similar background with NGSS. I think you had some really nice things to share. As for the last section of your post, I would be really interested in seeing how you choose to incorporate the three dimensions model in your future lessons, looks good!

Week 6

   Lab Week Six Focus Questions:  The three questions I have chosen to focus on from this week's lab were; What did you learn this week? Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew? and What are new or remaining questions?  1. What did you learn this week?  This week I learned more about turtles and what happens after they hatch or not even hatch and what happens to them. I learned that turtles follow the moonlight after they hatch. I also learned that other lights can deter turtles from making it to the ocean because they can get confused.  2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already knew?  In my 5th grade class, we did this same exact lesson, we grew the same plants and then pollinated them with dead bees. I learned more about the cycle of the plant now than I did in 5th grade.  3. What are new or remaining questions?  Why do turtles follow the light to the ocean?? 

week 13 lab/lecture

                                               Week13 Lab/Lecture Description of what we did in the lab? Weather is day to day.  The climate is the average of weather over thirty years.  The climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.  Goldfinches will eventually go further north because of climate and precipitation. New state bird? Eventually might get Missouris birds?  Is the Loon going to Canada? Wild call.  The world is getting hot, the world is going to shit, people, animals, plants are dying and people are getting sick.  We wrote a very lovely worded email to tedward. \=] The big question addressed in the lab?  How do we know that the Goldfinch is in fanger in Iowa?  What type of data do we have that supports that climate change is happening? A description of what you learned in Thursday's lectu...

Week 9 Lab/Lecture

                                              Week 9 Lab/Lecture Description of what we did in the lab? In the lab, I learned how the presidential election shows the old 100 million-year-old coastline. It is believed it is that way because there were more blacks in the area so they voted for someone that looked like them.  We also created a timeline of the whole universe, we had the Big Bang, then the creation of the earth, moon, animals, plants, and humans, and the creation of the moon.  We also then looked up the interactive we were using, 5 events that happened from the beginning of Earth to now.  The big question addressed in the lab?  What came first on Earth? Humans, dinosaurs, land plants, land animals, or the creation of the moon?  A description of what you learned in Thursday's lecture. Took an exam.  Answer questio...
