An Inquiry Approach

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Properties of Energy for Grades K-2 from Hands-On Science for British Columbia: An Inquiry Approach completely aligns with BC's New Curriculum for science. Grounded in the Know-Do-Understand model, First Peoples knowledge and perspectives, and student-driven scientific inquiry, this custom-written resource:

• emphasizes Core Competencies, so students engage in deeper and lifelong learning
• develops Curricular Competencies as students explore science through hands-on activities
• fosters a deep understanding of the Big Ideas in science

Using proven Hands-On features, Properties of Energy for Grades K-2 contains information and materials for both teachers and students including: Curricular Competencies correlation charts; background information on the science topics; complete, easy-to-follow lesson plans; digital reproducible student materials; and materials lists.

Innovative new elements have been developed specifically for the new curriculum:

• a multi-age approach
• a five-part instructional process-Engage, Explore, Expand, Embed, Enhance
• an emphasis on technology, sustainability, and personalized learning
• a fully developed assessment plan for summative, formative, and student self-assessment
• a focus on real-life Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies
• learning centres that focus on multiple intelligences and universal design for learning (UDL)
• place-based learning activities, Makerspaces, and Loose Parts

In Properties of Energy for Grades K-2 students investigate properties of energy. Core Competencies and Curricular Competencies will be addressed while students explore the following Big Ideas:

• The motion of objects depends on their properties.
• Light and sound can be produced and their properties can be changed.
• Forces influence the motion of an object.
