How can the students achieve this objective? - CORRECT ANSWER-Students can apply what they
have observed to make predictive claims.
Which learning activity describes the elaborate component of the 5E model? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Students take what was learned and make real-word connections to things in their
everyday life.
Why is skepticism valued in science? - CORRECT ANSWER-It encourages predictions and
hypothesis testing to promote academic discourse.
The objective for a third-grade lesson is to promote scientific inquiry. Prior to beginning the
investigation, the teacher will incorporate nonfiction literature about weathering into the
reading lesson.
After activating students' prior knowledge, the teacher will place students in groups of four.
Each group will be provided with materials, including two small topless milk or juice cartons,
moist soil, plaster of Paris, a stick, bean seeds, a jar of water, a ruler, paper, and pencils.
Students will begin the experiment and continue investigating over several days to determine
,how plants are involved in the weathering of rocks. Students will describe the group experiment
in their science journals.
How does this lesson describe the relationship of inquiry to science education? - CORRECT
ANSWER-Students conduct scientific investigations over a period of several days using a variety
of materials while working with peers.
Which science inquiry activity includes scaffolding? - CORRECT ANSWER-The teacher gives time
for questions when students are doing a science experiment.
A fifth-grade teacher has provided the students with a discovery science lesson. The students
worked in groups to create land-forms. After the experiment, the teacher decided to have each
group think-pair-share to discuss the lesson.
How can the teacher incorporate discovery methods into this science theme? - CORRECT
ANSWER-By providing opportunities to promote further questioning and thinking.
A teacher has decided to use portfolios in a science class. Students will keep a detailed record of
their experiments and conclusions each day. At the end of an experiment, the teacher will ask
students to determine and record what they would do with the accumulated evidence.
How does this portfolio activity allow students to further modify or affirm scientific ideas from
their investigations? - CORRECT ANSWER-Portfolios allow students to reflect on their
predictions.
To help students learn that problems are based on many factors and may have more than one
solution, a fifth-grade science teacher has students review data about a recent water shortage
in the community.
Which learning activity can students perform to achieve this objective? - CORRECT ANSWER-
Research different aspects of the issue and create a list of ways to address the shortage.
, When is it important for science teachers to model the use of effective eye protection? -
CORRECT ANSWER-When describing safety guidelines prior to student engagement.
Which guideline is recommended for proper handling and disposal of substances such as
molds? - CORRECT ANSWER-Wash hands after disposing of mold.
A fourth-grade teacher plans a lab that requires students to use beakers for measuring vinegar.
She has glass and plastic beakers at her disposal.
What safety procedure should she follow? - CORRECT ANSWER-Use only plastic beakers.
During a fourth-grade science lab, a glass beaker breaks and a student cuts his finger and gets
blood on the table.
Which safety procedure should the teacher observe first? - CORRECT ANSWER-The teacher
should put on disposable gloves and then attend to the student.
What is a common misconception in science? - CORRECT ANSWER-The egg yolk is the
undeveloped embryo.
Why is it important for students to make connections to prior learning before they are
introduced to new scientific concepts? - CORRECT ANSWER-It allows students the opportunity
to expose existing ideas, explore possibilities, and organize their thinking on the new concept.
A third-grade teacher is planning a lesson that uses a game to help the students scientifically
communicate the properties of a life stage of a chick. The game begins with the description, "I
am pink, hunched over, and my eyes are closed." The teacher wants to model and build
scientific language in the students.
