ECH 420 Wk 1: Science Resources Annotated Bibliography

Resource: Questacon – The National Science and Technology Centre

 

Explore various websites, textbook readings, local community, and other organizational areas that act as a resource for early childhood science education.

 

Choose five science resources for young children that you find to be effective and could be used for developmentally appropriate early childhood science instruction. The resources must contain one or more of the following requirements:

  • Curriculum – lesson plans or resource books beyond textbooks

  • Local community resources

  • Professional science organization

  • A science simulation site (such as Questacon – The ScIslands)

 

Create an annotated bibliography in which you highlight each of the resources and their benefits in two to three sentences.

 

Format your assignment according to APA guidelines.

 

Submit your assignment.

 

ECH 420 Wk 2: Early Childhood Science Literature Activity

Locate a fictional story that can be used as the basis for an early childhood science activity.

 

Create an early childhood science activity that reinforces the concepts in the selected book.

 

Prepare a summary of the selected book and a 350- to 700-word description of the activity. In your activity description, include the following information:

  • The science standards the activity addresses (use Next Generation Science Standards or local state standards)

  • The process skills that are necessary for teaching and for learning this activity

  • A description of how you are using exploration and observation in the activity

  • Developmentally effective assessment strategies

 

Teach the activity in an early childhood classroom setting.

 

Write a brief 350-word reflection on your teaching experience.

 

Submit your assignment.

 

ECH 420 Wk 2 Team: Team Teacher Evaluation: Integrated Science

Resources:

  • “Plants – Ms’ Fuentes’ Integrated Science Class” video

  • Teacher Evaluation: Inquiry Labs

 

Complete the Teacher Evaluation: Integrated Science.

 

Share your completed Teacher Evaluation: Integrated Science with your learning team.

 

Write a 350- 700- word analysis of your teacher evaluations and what you would have done differently.

 

Submit each members’ Teacher Evaluation Form along with your team’s analysis.

 

ECH 420 Wk 3: Science Literature Activity Extension

Share each individual Science Literature Activity with the team.

 

Provide at least two specific examples of how technology, language arts, mathematics, social studies, and the arts can be integrated within the science activity. This could be an extension of the activity or within the activity itself.

 

Provide at least one strategy you could use to adapt the materials and equipment in the activity to fit the needs of diverse learners.

 

Prepare a 10-slide presentation with detailed notes of the improvements made to each activity.

 

Submit your assignment.

 

ECH 420 Wk 3: Science Lesson Plan

Choose a content area: physical, Earth, or life science.

 

Write a lesson plan for a classroom of 3- to 4-year-olds.

 

Use the Lesson Plan Template to complete this assignment.

 

Submit your assignment.

 

ECH 420 Wk 4: Science Observations and Reflection Paper

Conduct two separate observations of a science learning experience in an early childhood setting (birth to age 8).

 

Observe one setting that serves children birth to age 5, and another setting that serves children ages 6 to 8.

 

Complete the Teacher Evaluation Observation: Science form for each observation.

 

Remember to document your observations on My Time Log.

 

Submit your assignment.

 

ECH 420 Wk 4 Team: Assessment Concept Mapping

Create a concept map that focuses on four different types of early childhood science assessments.

 

Answer the following questions regarding each assessment:

  • Is this an effective way to assess student mastery? Explain your response.

  • How could the assessment be used to guide early childhood science instruction?

  • Would you use this assessment in your early childhood science classroom? How might you change the assessment and what might you keep the same?

  • When teaching science, safety is an important factor. How can you include safety practices in the assessment?

  • Why is it important to use multiple methods, in the most authentic contexts possible, to assess student understanding of science?

 

Submit your assignment.

 

ECH 420 Wk 5: Animal Unit Family Extension

Conduct an Internet search for an instruction unit on animals.

 

Design three at-home extension activities that support the animal unit.

 

Include the following in each home extension activity:

  • The necessary materials and resources

  • Safety precautions

  • Step-by-step directions

 

Create a presentation using a presentation tool from the Technology Resource Library that explains your extension activities.

 

Submit your assignment.
