Plant Reproductive Parts

Group 3:

Today, group 3 went, thier lesson as on the reproductive parts of a plant. The teachers in the group did a great job giving direct instruction and presenting the information. 
They mentioned the stigma, ovary, pistil, receptacle and stamen. These are the main parts of the plant reproduction. 
When talking about plants reproducing, most just assume pollination is the main source. Although this is true, there are many different parts to this process. Every part of the plant is involved, down to the roots, stems, and leaves. Seeds are a very important part to the plant reproductive process. When seeds spread, more and more plants grow. Overall, group three did very well! Good Job!

Direct Instruction VS. Inquiry Lesson Direct instruction is the use of straightforward, explicit teaching techniques, usually to teach a specific skill. It is a teacher-directed method, meaning that the teacher stands in front of a classroom and presents the information. VS Inquiry -based learning is a form of active learning that starts by posing questions, problems or scenarios—rather than simply presenting established facts or portraying a smooth path to knowledge. They are both needed in an effective classroom!

S c i ence is  one of the two major branches of natural  science! From the smallest microbe to the largest mammal, life science explores the origins, evolution, and expansion of life in all its forms.  Biology  is one of the main components of life science,  explaining how our bodies work and why life is the way it is. Studying cells and microscopic organisms can be very interesting to your students because they are essentially learning about their own bodies and how they work, what is going on inside them. Most elementary students don't know exactly what is underneath their skin and once they realize what is really going on, they are amazed. Life science can focus in on a specific organism, but overall, life science is about cells and how life is the way it is. Though most things are clearly alive, sometimes alive things don't actually seem so living. When teaching life science to your students, you can use this as a starting point. This will spark an interest and star

Vegetative Organs and Plant Tissue Part 2!!   Day two of this lesson was focused on indirect instruction, meaning the students were more engaged in this lesson. This day was the chance for the students to ask any questions they have, put use to what they learned in day one and gets hands on. From the very beginning, the lesson was engaging. It started off by the students answering questions on what was taught last class. Then a video was shown and an activity on the iPad was presented. Although they ran into the problem of the iPads being dead, they proceeded with confidence and a plan. This is the down side of working with technology, you have to expect the unexpected and always have a backup plan. As a teacher, you should always have a few ideas in mind when it comes to teaching any lesson. One thing the teachers of group 2 did was incorporate a funny/fun, but on task, aspect to the lesson. At the beginning as part of the pre-assesment, they showed a funny video of
