Description
We’ve all been there- half our class is lost, half our class is bored. How can we plan for this situation?
When I was preparing to teach scientific method, I was interested in teaching this topic using modeling style instruction. But I wasn't sure if the whole class could “handle it.” So I split the class in half and taught the same content two ways. The result is this differentiated double lesson, made using beautiful, hyperlinked google slides. This product will be used and valued in your classroom for years to come, and will help you teach scientific method to all of the students in your room, regardless of skill level. This lesson could be taught by co-teachers, or it could be taught by a solo teacher. A solo teacher would need to divide the class in half and teach the lesson over two days- one day a group works on an independent task, and the other day they are taught.
In the lesson, students who are "researchers" determine six scientific method rules by looking at beautiful notes pages. Students who are "on the committee" determine six scientific method rules by examining different experimental designs and determining which researchers deserve the committee's funds, and why. Researchers and committee members end up determining the same (or nearly the same) six rules. Practice sets are included for every rule, so that students must apply and practice the rules that they just discovered.
