Sustainable and practical science classes, examples of practice in and out of the classroom
Description
The course is based on practical work in the classroom and in the school forest/garden. Participants will be provided with theoretical and practical insights into the elaborated teaching units for biology and chemistry.
In the presented lessons, various teaching methods based on Bloom’s taxonomy and Gardner’s intelligence will be presented. Based on the source of the literature and the lessons presented that deal with real problems, the participants will create their teaching units and construct an experiment based on sustainability.
Goals
The main goals of this course are to:
- present two biology and two chemistry teaching units that elaborate on solving real problems (includes worksheets, input activities, and student evaluation)
- create new teaching units based on problem-solving and sustainable development
- construct utensils that will be used in multiple teaching units
- design an experiment that uses smaller amounts of chemicals and utensils.
Learning outcomes
The course will help the participants to:
- differentiate the teaching process with the help of outdoor pedagogy
- use new teaching methods to achieve greater student motivation
- create an assignment and questions based on Bloom’s taxonomy
- construct research or experiments based on sustainability and the circular economy.
