Classificatory Investigation In Ms. Jean's Classroom

916 Words4 Pages

Ms. Jean created a multi-sensory experience for her 3rd grade classroom through the lesson on investigating white powders. Students were able to inquire, learn, and understand concepts in individual ways, allowing to grasp what is easiest for them to learn and develop new ways to acquire information. One type of investigation in Ms. Jean’s classroom is descriptive invention. Students gather observational data, by looking, smelling, and feeling the physical properties of each powder. The describe and record the texture, color, and odor. When completing different test like pouring a liquid into a powder or heating it up, they observe the properties and actions that occur. Classificatory investigations were also used in Ms. Jean’s classroom when …show more content…

Have them research and make their own discoveries on what items they could use to get different reactions before starting the lab. I would also have my students review the powders under the microscope. The excitement of seeing things that are invisible to our own eyes is established through using a microscope.This would allow them to use more processes of science, make more observations and visual drawings. I could also add more white substances; flour, plaster, chalk, and cream of tartar. After discovering each white substance, I would introduce the chemical formula and name, Salt for example is NaCl Sodium Chloride. Students could also write a short analysis that identifies the powder and use evidence to support the claim. Classifying Candy III http://pals.sri.com/tasks/k-4/Candy3/ During this lesson students use descriptive investigations to observe candy and identify characteristics. They use observing to feel the texture of the candy and see colors, sizes, and details of the candy. Through classificatory investigations they process and organize the candy by sorting and grouping them according to their properties. They use a tree system classify the candies into 2 groups and then continue to classify into subgroups. They use communication to record and organize their observations. They then must discuss what are the properties that each group specifically

She stated the children had started to get up from the rug for center time when she heard Andi yelling "get up, get up" and was yanking Isiah up by his arm. Andi then started telling him "you will listen to me" while pointing a finger in his face.

    The dependent variables in our experiment are the colors of the candies and the solvent that’s being used. In our experiment, we should be able to find out that the candy coating is actually a mixture of several pigments. Some pigments are more easily dissolved in the water and are pulled farther up the paper with the water. Certain pigments are more attracted to the paper so they will move slower up the paper. In other experiments done in the past the conclusion was only two M&M candies had two dyes involved in the candy coating.

    Students would learn and become familiar with the Order of Operations and understand that they must do the work that is in the parentheses before continuing with the remainder of the problem. Another fun activity that the students could do for independent practice is ‘Fact Family Homes’. For this activity, students would be given three numbers; 2, 5, and 7; they would practice the addition first- 2+5=7 and 5+2=7 and then the subtraction- 7-2=5 and 7-5=2. The teacher would make six of these little homes on a worksheet and have different numbers and equations for the students to solve. One more activity that I would have the students work on to help retain the Commutative property of addition is a cut and paste worksheet.

    *Have the children sit in a circle & place A4 sized photos of different breeds of puppies. Ask the children to point out the differences between each puppy, for example eye colour, fur colour, size, short or long fur etc. Ask questions of regardless of each difference would they love the puppy any less, would they be less interesting if the puppy was white or brown, just to generate a discussion. This can then lead into talking about our peers that have different coloured eyes, hair, skin & explain we are all the same but we just have differences or perhaps different beliefs etc *

  • Alka Seltzer Dissolve Lab Report

    For example, an experiment similar to this one could be how pressure could affect the time it takes for an Alka-Seltzer tablet to dissolve. Using A flask and rubber stoppers, you can compare the amount of time it takes for and Alka-Seltzer tablet to dissolve in regular room temperature water and room temperature water in a flak but with a rubber stopper stopping the air flow into the flask. This is related to the experiment performed above because the increase in pressure from the rubber stopper stopping the air flow in and out of the flask may affect the time it would take for the Alka-Seltzer tablet to dissolve. Another example of an experiment related to the one performed above is how the amount of water used to dissolve an Alka-Seltzer tablet effects the time it takes for one to dissolve. This also relates to the experiment performed above because it also affects how fast the rate of reaction is.
