EDS 198 – HANDS ON LABClairemont High School UCSD – CREATERH Fleet Science Center

Overview(Center for Research on Educational Equity, Assessment and Teaching Excellence)

• Goal: • Provide high school students with hands-on lab experiences• Engage undergraduates in a discussion on science education• Involve undergraduates in teaching science

OverviewBuilding on Last Quarter:

Labs led by undergraduates who taught small groups of 3-4 students

Achievements:• Students focused on process of science and inquiry learning• Students started to break away from textbook answers

Goals:• More student involvement and input in assessment• Build more undergraduate and student relationships• High level labs

Weekly Schedule:

Intro to Inquiry Learning Inquiry Learning aka Project-Based Learning aka Problem-Based Learning• What is it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMCZvGesRz8

• *Not Project Oriented Learning – Building Missions• Example (High School): http://youtu.be/6v9Eev2KPgc• Example (Middle School): http://youtu.be/hcuFmv5eH-k

Thoughts?• How did this compare to your high school or college science education?

• Was school exciting for you? What made it interesting and exciting? Or what made it boring?

• What are the benefits and pitfalls to this style of teaching?• What other styles of teaching are you interested in or would want to know

more about?

Structuring Inquiry in a Classroom5E Model or 7E Model• Elicit – Find out what interests students or students make

observations and ask questions• Engage – Create activities based on student interest that builds on

what they know• Explore – Allow students to plan how to collect data and find

information• Explain – Students organize data (compare, classify, explain, build

explanations)• Elaborate – Students find a real world application for their findings • Evaluate – Students determine limits and authenticity for their

findings• Extend – Students re-explore topic to better their understanding

Antibiotics Lab Engage – We use isopropyl alcohol to clean lab benches. On Pinterest, there are always pins on baking soda and vinegar for all-purpose cleaners. Do hand sanitizers really work? Does Ampicillin work?

Explore – How would we test this? Explain – What did we find?

Elaborate – Conclusions. _____ killed more bacteria than ___ because ____.

Evaluate – We only tested on e. coli. How would this work on other bacteria. What if we took a swab of bacteria from our hands or a bunch of people’s hands?

1pm – 3:20pm

Antibiotics LabExtend - Students and undergrads reflect on the lesson and teaching

3:20-3:50pm

How would assessment work?• What do teachers need to improve on?• Do we need an evaluation form? What would it look like?• Should you evaluate students? (i.e. Tell them what you thought

was impressive about then and what they need to work on?)• Do you provide goals and suggestions to work on for next time?

Homework1. Read “Science and Inquiry” Excerpts online. (will be

posted by midnight tonight)2. Look over “sample lesson plan on antibiotics lab”.3. Come up with topics of discussion for next week.

• Note students were involved in last quarter’s lab class• 10th – 11th grade • I will include other topics

4. Email me (quaninaquan@gmail.com) if you plan on taking this course
