Focusing Questions

How can teachers guide students to identify topics of interest for the Exit Project?

How can teachers guide students to use internet search engines effectively to find information for their background research?

How can teachers help students determine if the information they find is suitable for their needs?

Instruction

Page 4: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Framing Our WorkThe first step of the Exit Project procedure is crucial to overall project development.

Students should choose a topic of interest that encourages investigation.

Page 5: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Teaching

A good place to begin is to ask:

“What do you wonder about in the natural world of science?”

Make a list of general topics.

How can you get your students excited about an Exit Project idea?

Page 6: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Teaching

Observations > Motivate students to use the five senses> Science Exit Project journal> Wonder Wall

Science Curriculum

For more observation strategies, see the Making Observations PowerPoint on the Participant Agenda

More strategies for getting students excited about an Exit Project idea

Page 7: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

How can we find reliable resources on the Internet?

After a topic is chosen:

Brainstorm key words

Use a search engine

Evaluate the website

Teaching

Page 8: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Guided Practice

Let us practice searching the Internet:> Topic: Tigers> Go to Google and type in the word Tiger> What do you think will happen?

Page 9: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

As expected, over 200,000,000 hits!

Page 10: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Let’s brainstorm key words that will help narrow the search results

Key words> Siberian > Behavior> Habitat> Zoo

Let’s try our search again using some of the key words: i.e Siberian tiger + behavior + zoo

Page 11: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

This search helped to narrow the amount of information.

Page 12: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

What should we look for when we are evaluating Web site content?

Authority

Accuracy

Objectivity

Current Information

See the Web site evaluation form linked from the Participant Agenda

Page 13: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

All website addresses that may be used for the background research should be saved into favorites. Click on Favorites and then Add to Favorites…Then click OK to add to your favorite list.

Page 14: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Using the Website Evaluation Worksheet

Look at two different sites about the same topic: Gerbils.> http://my.athenet.net/~hoffmann/biog4.html

> http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pets_gerbilcare

> How reliable is the first site? The second one?

Work Time

Page 16: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Getting Started

Let us practice the strategy > Identify a topic> Brainstorm key words> Search for a site> Evaluate the site

Page 17: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Work Time

If you do not have a topic in mind, look at the first three sites for the Siberian tiger + behavior + zoo search.

Use the Evaluation Worksheet to assess the each site for authority, accuracy, objectivity and current.

•How can you help students search effectively?

•How useful is the Evaluation Worksheet?

• In addition to the worksheet, how can you help students determine which websites are reliable?

Page 20: Science Exit Projects Developing a Topic and Obtaining Background Information

Today we learned how to use technology to support the first step of the Science Exit project process. Students should:> Choose a topic of interest> Use key words when searching information> Evaluate the reliability of Web sites
