  7. Is Your Lab Aligned?

  8. How does the lab reflect RIGOR? • Is the lab grade appropriate? • Is the lab content appropriate? • Which benchmark is the lab aligned to? (See Specifications and Curriculum Map) • Does the lab contain the necessary rigor?

  9. Does the lab reflect higher order thinking skills? • Questions at the beginning, during, and end of the lab: • Are the questions during the lab critical and thought provoking? • Do the questions require higher order thinking? • Are the questions open ended? • Does the lab provide extensions for further investigations?

  10. Lab Management • How will the Lab/Inquiry be conducted in a 45/50/90 minute period of time? • Grouping: How will collaborative groups be formed? • Do I have the needed equipment/supplies? • Is the lab write up the school’s or county’s (available on Moodle)? Do I have a rubric?

  11. Three phases of a Lab/Inquiry • Pre lab - Prepare students for the lab: Preview – instructions and materials • Lab/Inquiry – conduct the lab • Post Lab –Complete lab write up with the rubric. Discussion of hypothesis and conclusion. Where to go from here? This is where connections are made and misconception are repaired. MOST important! If this is missing it is JUST an activity!

  12. REFLECTION QUESTIONS? • While this is a favorite lab of mine…… can it be modified for the grade level and content? • Will the modification bring the lab in line with the NGSSS and meet the rigor needed? • If not what are my options? • What are the lab requirements? • Required number of labs/inquiry per week – 1 per week • Writing – lab write up • Discussion of results and conclusions
