Tomorrow is my first observation by my field supervisor and I am nervous, but feel very prepared. Lucky for me, the 4th grade teachers have completely rewritten the CScope curriculum and created power points for all of the science lessons. Since there is not really any text support in CScope you pretty much have to do something like this. If you use CScope in your district, how do you all supplement the material?
For my lesson tomorrow, I decided that I wanted to create a few things for the kids to do to make it a little more interactive. In part of the lesson, the students sketch two organisms and then have to figure out if they are related or not. I made a simple graphic organizer for them to use for that and I also created a notes page that they can add to throughout the unit. It will make students list different examples of the traits as well as writing the definition for the three types of traits that we are going to focus on. The lesson plan that I have to create for my field supervisor requires an extension so I created what I thought would be a fun home-school assignment that the students can do that won't take too long either. Not too sure how many of you all could use these resources, but I thought somebody might be interested in them.
I still cannot figure out how to do the screenshot when I am using Google Docs, does anyone know of a tutorial that I can use for that? I am thinking about just putting it on Teachers Pay Teachers and just make them free. If you sell on TpT, how do you like it? I am considering setting up an account to sell some things that I have created and will be creating in the future.
Good luck with your observation! And great job on the awesome documents!! You will be {are already} a fantastic teacher!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!! Xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am not sure how to do a screen shot on a PC, but if you are on a mac all you have to do is hit command, shift and 3. If you want to choose a section to take a screen shot of hit command, shift, 3 and drag the box. When you let go it will take the shot and save it to your desk top! Good luck. You can probably google how to do it if you are on a PC.
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I will definitely use with my genetics unit. Thank you for sharing!

ReplyDeleteReally interesting science resources.Thanks for sharing. The great thing about teaching inheritance is that it can be understood at many different levels.
ReplyDeleteFirst graders can say what traits they think they have inherited from their parents; kids in high school can learn about dominant and recessive genes.
It's all inheritance!
