Lesson Analysis
For the lesson plan analysis assignment we were required to take a lesson we found and analyze for the three legs of science. When I began the semester I did not have a clue what was required in a science lesson. I really just thought you took the standard and made sure you "taught" what the students needed to know. I never knew there was more than content that needed to be covered in science. I thought process skills were part of content and as far as nature of science... who had even heard of that. Well, now as I have grown throughout the course of the semester it is second nature for me to know that to have an effective science lesson all three components are necessary. They do not all have to be evenly weighted but they all need to be present. This lesson analysis was done early on in the semester but it still is evidence of the learning and growth in my understanding about the three different components. I can easily see the content and process skills in lessons now but still have a hard time with the nature of science. My hope is to continue developing a strong eye and grow in my understanding of the three components especially the nature of science.
