1. In our technology enhanced science activity, we will be looking at the properties of water. We will be looking at water, as a solid, liquid and gas. Ihis actvity, the teacher will be talking about it, and they will be showing and demonstrating the change in each stage. There will be a bowl of water and ice. This shows two states. The ice will melt and the students will be observing it as it changes into water. The teacher will take the water bowl and microwave it or they could put it in a crock pot and they will see how water canges into steam. Along with showing the studdents the states of water and how they change, they will use a themometer to test the temperature that each of these states. This will show the students how cold or hot it has to be to make water, steam or ice. During this demonstration, the students will be watching and observing, they could fill out a work sheet or write a relfelction, whichever you perfer as a teacher. The students should also get a chance to use the themometers.
2.i. The content we will be focusing on, is the states of water and their temperatures. (solid, liquid, gas .. melting/ boiling points. This will show how we get to each states.
ii. We want to implement observing, classifying, predicting, aquiring, and processing data.
This is a great fit with the demonstartion we are doing, so they can understand the knowledge we are trying to see, and it is a visual activity so you can actually understand and see the processes happening in each state to another.
iii. We will be using themometers. It will be a good fit, so the students can learn how to use one and read one. They will better understand at what temperatures it takes for boiling/ melting points to takes place. And what temperature it has to be to be in different forms
iv. It shows the temperature that each state of water occurs at. I believe if you didnt use technology (themometers) to demonstarte, it could be harder to understand. This way it is visual and they can actually see for themselves they all occur at different temperatures. It just adds to the learning process!
