Experimental Design Practice: 4 Experiment Analysis

In this assignment, students mark the text to identify experimental design elements such as independent variable and control group. Then, students analyze the experiments by answering some critical thinking questions. Next, they pick an experiment and create a sample data chart for the experiment. If students have received instruction on experimental design, this activity could be used as a checkpoint assessment or a sub plan.

Experience

I have been teaching for 15 years. I have taught Earth Science, Forensics, Anatomy, Biology, and Neurophysiology. I have experience teaching 6th grade and 10th-12th grade. I currently teach Science and Student Leadership at an alternative high school. I also serve as an in-house instructional coach.

Teaching style

My teaching style is all about inquiry, real-world connections, and students doing real thinking about content. I do not put a lot of energy into low-level activities where students simply memorize surface-level knowledge. I want students to think deeply about content and how it is relevant to them. As much as possible, I like to have students experience or model phenomena. Additionally, I am trauma-informed in my approach to building a classroom environment and choosing instructional techniques.
