After several weeks of changing my mind back and forth, I think I finally have a topic that I would like to pursue in this program.
I would like to develop a curriculum unit for the 5th grade Science Standard set 4: Earth Sciences (Weather). I chose this topic because it contains content information that can be difficult to grasp for anyone, including adults, and I have experienced the difficulty that many 5th graders have with this subject. In addition, it is possible but difficult to make this topic hands on, and I am interested in researching ways that this can be done. Here are my guiding questions for this topic:
-How can the 5th Grade Weather standards be made accessible, understandable, and hands-on to students?
-How can this content be taught across the curriculum?
-How can curriculum for this topic be designed to interest students who are not typically interested in science?
-What are the specific concepts in this unit of study that are difficult for students at this developmental level to grasp?
-What are some affordable and local field trips that are related to this topic?
