EED 420 Wk 4 – Summative Assessment: Inquiry-Based Interdisciplinary Lesson
You have been asked by your principal to develop an inquiry-based interdisciplinary lesson that integrates educational technology tools that can enhance students’ learning experience of the concepts, as well as connect ideas from another discipline. The strategy you develop must be applicable to all students from diverse backgrounds.
Research the use of PhET Science and Math Simulations in Google Classroom to apply interactive simulations.
Use the internet to research and collect information about Archimedes’ screw.
Choose a grade level that you wish to teach.
Write 3 inquiry-based questions based on your research about Archimedes’ screw and the image above, which displays a sketch of how an Archimedes’ screw transfers water from a low-lying body of water to a higher level. Ensure that the questions will guide your students to do the following:
- Investigate the problem.
- Form a hypothesis.
- Collect and analyze data.
- Compare their findings with their initial hypothesis.
Create an inquiry-based interdisciplinary lesson, based on the above questions, that will incorporate a form of technology and another subject area. Include the following in your lesson:
- Applicable content standard(s)
- Technology integrated
- Other subject areas incorporated (e.g., mathematics, social studies, visual arts)
- Learning objectives
- Prior knowledge activity
- Materials and resources needed
- Instruction and practice activities
- Assessment strategies (pre and post)
Write a half-page summary to include at the end of the lesson in which you describe how the lesson will assist learners in developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
Submit your assignment.
