Good Science Instruction• Effective Planning (with the end in mind)
– Knowing the objective of each lesson(course description)
– Plan together with teachers of the same subject area• Implement a routine of inquiry based, hands-on
activities relevant to the objectives of the topic– Applying models to formulate solutions to questions– Discovering answers through systematic observations
Department of Mathematics and Science
Good Science Instruction (Cont…)
• Implement Higher-Order Questioning Strategies using Explicit-Reflective instruction to enhance student thinking– Asking questions about our surroundings
• Facilitate, encourage, and expect Higher Order Thinking (HOT) from your students– Make connections between content learned to real-world
events and examples• Encourage students to communicate verbally and
in writing
