Goal 1: Demonstrate understanding of the central concepts (content), tools of inquiry (process skills), and structure of science (nature of science) appropriate to teaching at the K-6 level.
An effective science teacher is able to integrate all three components of science into their various learning cycles. Not only does the science teacher need to know what the three components of science are they need to understand each leg and be able to incorporate each component into their learning cycles. Artifacts #1 and #2 are evidence of my development. They show my understanding for what the three components of science are and how I am able to incorporate each component into learning cycles that I create.
