TAILIEUCHUNG - Lecture Science 1 - Associate Degree in Education: Lecture 31 - Dr. Arshad Bashir
Lecture 31 - Teaching matter in elementary grades. Grades 1–3 do not explicitly specify ‘matter’ as learning content. However, it is somewhat contained in topics like water, resources, and weather. In addition, you need to teach the following process skills: Asking questions, problem solving, making an argument, defending an idea, making and recording observations, categorizing. | Lecture # 31 SCIENCE 1 ASSOCIATE DEGREE IN EDUCATION TEACHING MATTER IN ELEMENTARY GRADES Designing activities for elementary grade science Grades 1–3 do not explicitly specify ‘matter’ as learning content. However, it is somewhat contained in topics like water, resources, and weather. In addition, you need to teach the following process skills: Asking questions Problem solving Making an argument Defending an idea Making and recording observations Categorizing Regardless of the grade level, water is a theme that allows for inquiry teaching of various science concepts, such as state of matter, buoyancy, and density. Research has shown that the concept of matter is a difficult concept to understand. Even college Student Teachers still struggle with the conceptual understanding and have various misconceptions. Building a conceptual understanding of matter and particle theory requires a solid foundation that should be developed over the years. Carefully crafted learning progressions and activities will help lay such a foundation. Designing activities for elementary grade science What kind of question could children in elementary grades investigate? What kind of challenge could they solve? What concept would they learn as a result? What kind of learning outcomes could be expected at that age level? Designing activities for elementary grade science Water (buoyancy and density) Water is easily obtainable and has many properties that you can use to teach various concepts, such as buoyancy and density, in the classroom. Present some problems involving the sinking and floating of liquids in each other and solid objects in the same liquids. Have children take careful measurements and observe the relationship between the mass and volume of liquids and solids. These experiences lead to the concept of density, which is one of the properties used to identify a material. Change of state Water is a substance (molecule) that is found on Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, .
