Objective III states that I understand science by using inquiry to make sense of all aspects of "the sciences".To show that I have met this objective I have attached my science inquiry lesson plan on volcanoes. This lesson plan was created based off the book, Vacation Under the Volcano.
From that book, science inquiry questions were developed. From that, one question was chosen for an experiment. The students were given the materials and told to make an experiment to answer the inquiry question.
By creating this lesson plan I learned that students can guide their way through a science experiment when they are provided with a question and the materials needed. By doing a guided inquiry lesson the students are able to discover answers to the questions they might have, regarding a certain topic. For this particular lesson the students were able to try different experiments to collect data about how temperature effects the movement of magma.
This artifact shows that I've met this objective because students were able to discover a science concept through a guided inquiry lesson plan. This is necessary to my future career because I have learned how important it is to use inquiry to help students develop an understanding of all science concepts.
