Matt O’Brien Reflection #2 Next generation science standards core ideas: Ecosystems: interactions, energy, and dynamics. The presenters in this video discussed performance expectations as related to NGSS. They discussed how by combining different scientific practices, core ideas, crosscutting concepts into a single statement of what is to be assessed. They also gave some instructional strategies by displaying objectives for lessons through the use of graphic organizers, showing the relationship between energy pools, and how these affect an ecosystem and the balance of organisms within the ecosystem. I have sometimes struggled with the idea of how to best approach a concept in my science class, to where the students can truly appreciate the subject matter and best learn the intent of the standard. Using diagrams, such as graphic organizers can help students understand and appreciate complex concepts, such as ecosystems and energy flows within an ecosystem. The presenters b
Using Graphical Displays and Graphic Organizers to display critical concepts: "Energy Flows through an Ecosystem", assists in students accessing information more readily and provides basic foundational knowledge that they can use to further investigate a subject.Use this video while studying Ecosystems.
