Final Project

For this semester we are trying a single project to be selected from the "physical sciences" and presented at a "Science fair" during the Final exam period in Finals week.

Two parts:

• A science fair style presentation of the goals/content and the activities envsioned.
• A written description of your project including:
  • a lesson plan
  • student content knowledge goals
  • required teacher content knowledge for effective use of your project.

The project will be based on the content taught in grades 3-8. (Note Science Content Standards for California Public Schools [K-8]. Condensed version and matrix and Science Frameworks which may be accessed via the Redwood Science project page: http://www.humboldt.edu/~rsp/RSP-Resources.htm)

Teacher content knowledge (what CSET tests) vs. student content knowledge

• Note that adult and child learning styles differ due to different levels of cognitive development.
  • We are NOT talking about differences in "learning styles."
