BLOOM’S TAXONOMY:6 LEVELS OF THINKING

*Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely used tool by educators for classifying learning objectives, and is based on the work of Benjamin Bloom.

Bloom’s Taxonomy* for Reading ComprehensionThe activities in our resource engage and build the full range of thinking skills that are essential for students’ reading comprehension and understanding of important science concepts. Based on the six levels of thinking in Bloom’s Taxonomy, and using language at a remedial level, information and questions are given that challenge students to not only recall what they have read, but move beyond this to understand the text and concepts through higher-order thinking. By using higher-order skills of application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, students become active readers, drawing more meaning from the text, attaining a greater understanding of concepts, and applying and extending their learning in more sophisticated ways.

Our resource, therefore, is an effective tool for any Scienceprogram. Whether it is used in whole or in part, or adapted to meet individual student needs, our resource provides teachers with essential information and questions to ask, inspiring students’ interest, creativity, and promoting meaningful learning.

Global Warming: Reduction CC5771

Before You Teach

©

Introductionrovide your students an insight into the science of the atmosphere and the

effects of humanities actions on the Earth system. Global warming is an important topic for students to understand scientifi cally. It has become a frequent topic in the news and civic discussions. Students need to acquire a scientifi c understanding of the role of human activities with regards to changes in the atmosphere in order to make informed decisions about products and lifestyle choices that affect the Earth system. A scientifiperspective on climate change will also help students separate fact from fi ction in popular accounts of global warming.

How Is Our ResourceOrganized?STUDENT HANDOUTSReading passages and activitiesworksheets) make up the majority of our resource. The reading passages present important grade-appropriate information and concepts related to the topic. Included in each passage are one or more embedded questions that ensure students are actually reading and understanding the content.

For each reading passage there are BEFORE YOU READ activities and AFTER YOU READ activities. As with the reading passages, the related activities are written using a remedial level of language.

• The BEFORE YOU READ activities prepare students for reading by setting a purpose for reading. They stimulate background knowledge and experience, and guide students to make connections between what they know and what they will learn. Important concepts and vocabulary from the reading passage are also presented.

• The AFTER YOU READ activities check students’ comprehension of the concepts presented in the reading passage and extend their learning. Students are asked to give thoughtful consideration of the reading passage

through creative and evaluative short-answer questions, research, and extension activities.

Writing Tasks are included to further develop students’ thinking skills and understanding of the concepts. The Assessment Rubric (page 4) is a useful tool for evaluating students’ responses to many of the activities in our resource. The Comprehension Quiz (page 48) can be used for either a follow-up review or assessment at the completion of the unit.

PICTURE CUESOur resource contains three main types of pages, each with a different purpose and use. A Picture Cue at the top of each page shows, at a glance, what the page is for.

BLOOM’S TAXONOMY:6 LEVELS OF THINKING

*Bloom’s Taxonomy is a widely used tool by educators for classifying learning objectives, and is based on the work of Benjamin Bloom.

Bloom’s Taxonomy* for Reading ComprehensionThe activities in our resource engage and build the full range of thinking skills that are essential for students’ reading comprehension and understanding of important science concepts. Based on the six levels of thinking in Bloom’s Taxonomy, and using language at a remedial level, information and questions are given that challenge students to not only recall what they have read, but move beyond this to understand the text and concepts through higher-order thinking. By using higher-order skills of application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation, students become active readers, drawing more meaning from the text, attaining a greater understanding of concepts, and applying and extending their learning in more sophisticated ways.

Our resource, therefore, is an effective tool for any Scienceprogram. Whether it is used in whole or in part, or adapted to meet individual student needs, our resource provides teachers with essential information and questions to ask, inspiring students’ interest, creativity, and promoting meaningful learning.

We have learned that the kidneys fi lter blood. This is how they help clean wastes from the body. For this activity, you will build your own “kidney”. It is really some pop

bottles, but it will give you an idea of how a fi lter, like our kidneys, works.

Build a Kidney!Build a Kidney!

FOR THIS ACTIVITY, you will need:• 3 large plastic pop bottles, cut in half (you will use the top half of each)• a large bowl or bucket • pebbles • sand • paper towel • masking tape

• small jug of dirty water

Ask your teacher to help you fi nd these things.

STEPS:

1. Fill the fi rst bottle with pebbles. Fill the second bottle with wet sand. Fill the third bottle with paper towel.

2. Stack the containers like they are in the picture and tape them together.

They are now in a column.

3. Hold the column of containers over the bucket. Pour the dirty water over the pebbles in the top bottle. The water should fi lter all the way down into the bucket.

QUESTIONS:

Answer these questions in your notebook.

1. What does the water in the bucket look like? How is it different from the dirty water you started with?

2. What did the pebbles, sand and paper towel do?

3. What conclusions can you make about how kidneys work?

Help students separate fact from fiction to make informed decisions about products and lifestyle choices that affect the Earth system with our Climate Change Series. We take a critical look from a scientific perspective on the changing climate and what it means for the future. We also look at rising sea levels and altered patterns of weather and agriculture which are cited as direct consequences of Global Warming. Finally we look at creative ways to reduce human consumption and output of waste, all in an effort to help clean up our planet.

One of the major contributions of the U.S. was the introduction of the

helicopter in Vietnam. The UH-1 helicopter, known as the Huey by the

troops, became the workhorse of the U.S. Army. Early in 1962, Operation

Chopper involved American military pilots carrying over 1,000 South

Vietnamese soldiers in helicopters to perform a sweep of a Viet Cong

stronghold near Saigon. These were the first combat missions against the

Viet Cong that American forces were involved in.

uring the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant was the General of the Union army. He was born in 1822 to a family from Ohio. As a young man, Grant attended West Point even though he did

not really want to attend school. When the Civil War started, Grant was working in Illinois at his family’s leather store. He became the leader of a volunteer regiment and got the regiment ready for service. Within a year, Grant became Brigadier General of the volunteers.

Africa – Placehich features make Africa unique? Perhaps it is the wildlife we find there. Maybe its physical characteristics make

it unique. Perhaps it is the people of Africa, and where they have chosen to live, and the languages that they speak. Each of these features helps us better understand Africa and describe it as a place.

Africa is a continent of huge contrasts. While large cities can be found throughout the continent, some people continue to maintain their tribal customs and live as they have for thousands of years, preserving a unique way of life. Many people in Africa live near coastal areas, while others prefer the savanna regions, areas of grasslands and certain kinds of agriculture.

There are many important cities on all of Africa’s ocean coasts. They developed there because they had easy access to transportation and trade with other continents. The ports of northern Africa make travel to Europe very easy. East African portsprovide an easy route to Asia. The harbors of western Africa provide access to North America and western Europe. The Suez Canal in Egypt provides a short cut from the Mediterranean Sea to the Indian Ocean.

W

The physical characteristics of Africa are many. There are huge rainforests at the Equator. There are vast plains in eastern Africa. There are tall mountains, deep valleys, and huge deserts in different parts of the continent. The world’s largest desert, the Sahara, covers northern Africa like a hot, sandy blanket.

Why have so many cities in Africa developed along its coastal areas?
