Science Lesson Scavenger Hunt
Secondary Science Teaching Methods - 4570
Dr. Sharon Ohlhorst
DUE: Tuesday Sept 1, 2009
You will pick a topic from the 7th/8th grade core and find 3 web sites which you think have good resources for lessons on this topic -
Send these 3 urls along with a 1-2 sentence explanation for each to Dr. Ohlhorst
sohlhorst@weber.edu. Make sure that for each web site you specifically indicate which grade, standard and objective you would use this site for.
Example: SEVENTH GRADE
STANDARD I, the structure of matter.
http://www.csun.edu/~vceed002/ref/measurement/measurement.html
http://www.csun.edu/~vceed002/chemistry/csp_chemistry/structure/
Sponsored by Cal State Northridge, these two websites have a lot of resources
for teachers to use for such things as teaching power of ten and conversions,
and the chemistry page has graphic simulations of atomic structure and Power
Point presentations on the periodic table.
You will each also give a brief presentation in class about what you found and why you liked these sites. You are welcome to mention sites that sounded good but were a disappointment.
