Demonstration

Demonstration Rationale

Context:

I completed this assignment for my Block II science course. My partner and i demonstrated the effect of light in water and how water reflects the straight path of the light so it appears to bend. In fact, the light path stays straight but is constantly being reflected by the water so it stays in the path of the water rather than going straight through.

Impact:

The students will be able to experience the fun of science and see close up the effects of our demonstration and give them a new concept on how water and light relate. When there is a chance to make learning fun, the students will be more involved due to its creative nature.

Alignment:

I met these standards and indicators by performing my demonstration.
NC- North Carolina DPI Elementary Education Specialty Area Standards
Standard: Standard 3: Elementary teachers have a broad knowledge and understanding of the major concepts in science.
Indicator: Indicator 2: Teachers have knowledge of basic physical science concepts including:
Detail: Structure and properties of matter
Detail: Waves and optics (light, heat, and sound)
Standard: Standard 10: Teachers provide active inquiry experiences in the teaching of science by using various questioning skills and developing science processing skills (predicting, classifying, measuring, inferring, interpreting, analyzing, and synthesizing).
Standard: Standard 15: Elementary teachers encourage underrepresented groups to engage in the schooling process, especially math and science.
Indicator: Indicator 1: Teachers use a variety of strategies to encourage underrepresented groups to engage in the schooling process, especially math and science. They:
Detail: Utilize community resources
Detail: Give personal attention and encouragement to underrepresented groups of students
Detail: Use relevant and real-world applications that interest a diverse population
Detail: Encourage underrepresented groups to assume leadership roles.
