Write+Up+4

This is the fourth Lab Experiment Write Up.

An important note is that the below table to collect data could be used in a variety of ways for example: Think/Pair/Share activities Class Discussions KWHL graphic organiser before and after the experiment to gauge the learning and understanding of the topic by the students.

This experiment was done at home on the 17/4/12. It utilised an ICT resource for the lesson itself not just as a learning record strategy. It was a great example of ICT for an entire lesson/s. A thought for the future could be to used something like Glogster (see Write Up 2) to record learning since the students will already be online and using ICT for the lesson/s.

This experiement was done with the use of an online science investigation: @http://www.learner.org/courses/envsci/interactives/ecology/ and follows the step given on the site to complete the exercise.

For this assessment I will also only complete the first stage of the simulator on the producers and will use the downloadable data table retireived from (bottom of slide): @http://www.learner.org/courses/envsci/interactives/ecology/index.php to record the results from this experiments.

For extra information and ways to write up this experiment I will also use the Primary Connections variable graphic organiser retreived from: @http://moodle.cqu.edu.au/file.php/19486/Variable_Grid_with_q_s_in_header.pdf to show a simple format of the same type of graphic organiser to support learning.

For further examples of a graphic organiser to establish and support learning and understanding I will also use the Primary Connection Investigation Planner for Young Students retrieved from: @http://moodle.cqu.edu.au/file.php/19486/St_1_invest_planner.pdf
