Essential Question: How do we understand and explain the world around us?
Agenda:
1. FCAT Word Slam: Pseudoscience
2. Review Word Slam: Scientific Method
3. 1.2 read and complete framing routine as a group
Assessment, how we will know we have learned it: Misconception meltdown: astrology, 3-2-1 Blastoff: 1 example of pseudoscience, 2 examples of true sciences, 3 of the processes of the scientific method.
Sunshine State Standards:
• SC.912.N.2.1: Identify what is science, what clearly is not science, and what superficially resembles science (but fails to meet the criteria for science).
• SC.912.N.2.2: Identify which questions can be answered through science and which questions are outside the boundaries of scientific investigation, such as questions addressed by other ways of knowing, such as art, philosophy, and religion.
• SC.912.N.2.3: Identify examples of pseudoscience (such as astrology, phrenology) in society.
What we're going to learn: What does the process of science look like.
How we will learn it:
• Explicit Instruction: Introduction to science as a process, and the scientific method.
• Modeled Instruction: Define Pseudoscience for students > Finish leading students through the first section of the framing routine for 1.2
• Guided Practice: Students complete Framing Routine 1.2 in small groups.
How we will use it: A more logical and reliable look at the world and begin the development of a healthy skepticism regarding claims posed as scientific.
Materials/Resources: Overhead projector, FCAT Slam worksheet, Framing Routine worksheets, Textbooks, Paper, Pencil
Alternate Assignment: Students read pages 9-13 > Define vocabulary from context clues > Complete section review questions 1-7 in complete sentences (include the question in the answer)
