Assignment: Elementary Methods-Science

Every state has its own set of academic standards to guide students' learning at each grade level. When it comes to science standards, some states have adopted the Next Generation Science Standards and other states have developed their own science standards based on the same framework.

As a teacher, you will be using academic standards to help guide the focus of your teaching. You will create lesson plans that address certain standards. For this assignment, you will find your state's science standards and practice developing appropriate and measurable objectives.

Task

Access the Next Generation Science Standards site and scroll down to the map to find your state's science standards. Research your state's fourth-grade science standards and do the following:

1. Select a fourth-grade performance expectation.

2. Write 3 developmentally appropriate and measurable objectives.

3. Identify 2 or 3 content vocabulary terms (for example: rocks, minerals, matter, bacteria, etc.) related to your focus, and describe the instructional strategies you would use to teach those terms to students. (Do not include definitions , do not include a lesson, and do not include process vocabulary like "observation", "measure", "hypothesis", "analysis", "conclusion", etc.)
