NF- Self-expressive 10%

Strategies Planned
Discussion and chance to ask questions during instruction
Throughout the direct lesson presentation of Venn Diagrams,
students are encouraged to ask questions during instruction (math)
Guided reading groups teacher encourages for students to ask
questions about character and setting (language arts)
After discovery portion of science lessons students are
encouraged to ask any questions that they still do not understand after
attempting to find answers themselves (science #1 and #2)
Discovery learning
Through stations students discover the three states of matter and
how they change and transform (science #1 and #2)
Creating Hypotheses:
Teacher sets up an anticipatory set that prompts a question that
students will create a hypotheses for both concentrating on matter (science #1
and #2)
Multiple Intelligences Fostered
Logical/Mathematical

Creating hypothesis on what the three states of matter are and

their properties (science #1)
Creating a hypotheses on how states of matter change forms
(science #2)

liquid (science #2)
Exploring solids and liquid by being exposed to a variety of objects
(science #1)
