Questions for Reflection

To what extent does the process of what the students go through in this project-based learning mirror the way scientists carry out their investigation? What literacy practices are involved in these processes, including those specific to science and those common to other areas of expression and representation?

To what extent has the revised instruction helped the students give a better scientific explanation of the observed phenomenon? What is the key factor that contributes to the better explanation, and how, as a teacher, can you help your own students incorporate it into their learning?

In what ways has the teaching team integrated literacy with science content learning in the revised lesson?

What effects does the teaching approach in the revised lesson have on students’ ability to speak and write about science properly?

What does the teaching team overlook in deciding to teach this way, and what problems might follow from their decision to teach science in this manner?

Does the summer camp setting allow the graduate students to bypass the various standards movements, or do their teaching decisions fit comfortably with mandates facing school-based science teachers?
