A sample project that requries students to analyze the characteristics of living things and then present their findings to the class. Appropriate for elementary or middle school students.

Five demonstrations teachers can deliver in their middle school life science class.

Short project (4-50 minute classes) for earth science used to: Discover how running rivers and streams erode land by constructing a model of a stream. Observe through experimentation differences in how time and angle of slope affect how a stream erodes the land. Design and conduct an experiment to solve a problem. Draw conclusions by interpreting data. Communicate conclusions in an oral report.

In order to make significant gains, you will need to administer diagnostics and assessments to determine where students are in relationship to the science objectives. You will need to evaluate and track student performance on assessments so that you and your students are aware of progress. Tracking student progress ensures that your data is reliable, objective and that your instructional strategies are keenly focused on student mastery. This diagnostic is specifically designed for 8th grade Science.
