Course Description
This is unit 2 of 4 units. The sequence of units is available in the Read Me First Materials in each unit. The overarching focus of the course is to use students’ own experiences to help them make sense of the world around them. The modules are designed to provide teachers with concrete strategies to address the “instructional shifts” required by the standards. Students will be introduced to a problem or a phenomena for which they will develop a driving question for the lesson. They will then go about answering their own questions through investigations and consulting with experts. Finally they will create a claim that is justified with evidence from their investigations.
Standards
These instructional materials are available to assist educators in implementing Iowa’s Academic Standards. Curriculum leaders and teachers should review these instructional materials to ensure full implementation of Iowa’s Academic Standards in the local curriculum. Each module identifies standards that are addressed and assessed.
