For the science article assignment I decided to read about a strategy used to help students learn science. This sparked my interest in other strategies. So I found a couple that I thought would be useful for an elementary classroom. One of the strategies was the five E’s . The first step of the five E strategy is to engage the children. Next invite the children to explore a little. Then have the children explain what they have learned and elaborate on it . The final step is to evaluate student work . this strategy seems to be the most commonly used in the classroom. Another strategy is to have students make plays of what they learned . This strategy is great because it gives the children a chance to teach what they have learned to others and this is one of the best ways children learn. Another strategy is the POE Strategy. The P in the strategy stands for Prediction in this step students predict what is going to happen. Next the children Observe what happens . The final step is to explain children explain if their prediction was correct , what they observed and why they think the outcome happened.
Some other ideas for helping to teach science are by doing case studies, role playing, making board games, web quests , virtual field trips, cyber guides , concept maps , Vee diagrams and multimedia presentations.
All of these strategies and ideas seem like they would be great to impliment in the class room .
