Create an inquiry-based interdisciplinary lesson

Reference no: EM133542763

Assignment: Elementary Methods-Science

For many years, educators tended to teach subject areas separately. Then came the idea of interdisciplinary learning, which combines multiple disciplines or subject areas to encourage students to come up with new ways to think about issues and solve problems. STEM education is an example of an interdisciplinary approach to learning and has changed the way we teach students science and math.

Scenario

Imagine you are an elementary teacher at a school that values STEM education. Your STEM coach has asked you to develop an inquiry-based interdisciplinary lesson that focuses on a real-life phenomenon and integrates STEM education components. Your lesson should address science content standards, integrate technology, and connect ideas from another discipline.

Preparation

Research Phenomenon-Based Learning Modules and select a real-life phenomenon as your focus to engage students in inquiry-based learning. You will also need to include an image of the phenomenon at the beginning of your lesson plan.

Based on your research about your chosen phenomenon, develop 3 inquiry-based questions to incorporate into your lesson. Use the OpenScieEd 3 Discussion Types to help you as you develop critical-thinking questions. Ensure that the questions will guide your students to do the following:

1. Investigate the problem
2. Collect and analyze data

Task

Create an inquiry-based interdisciplinary lesson, based on the 5E model, that incorporates science and another subject area plus a form of technology. Use the Inquiry-Based Lesson Template provided to complete your assessment.

Your lesson plan should include the following elements:

1. A real-life phenomenon
2. Multiple content standards
3. Learning objectives
4. Technology
5. Pre-assessment and post-assessment strategies
6. Instruction and activities based on the 5E model
7. Differentiation strategies

At the end of your lesson plan, include a 175-word summary explaining how this lesson will stimulate learners to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
