Assignment:
The fourth step in planning a unit plan is to research and decide on the necessary materials and resources that create engagement through anticipatory sets and help to develop confidence as competent users of technology.
Part 1: Materials, Resources, and Technology
Complete the "Materials, Resources, and Technology" sections of the "Science Unit Plan." Include appropriate and relevant materials, resources, and technology that successfully:
- Support students in chosen content, development of relevant skills, and encourage student engagement.
- Support diverse student needs and learning advancement.
The details of the "Science Unit Plan" will continue to be fully developed and revised throughout the duration of the course, culminating in a complete unit plan due in Topic 5.
Part 2: Reflection
