Science Misconception WebQuest Assignment Descriiption

Purpose: This assignment will provide you with an opportunity to choose a common science misconception for your grade level and design a WebQuest to teach the correct science content.

Task: To complete this assignment your lesson must address appropriate instructional levels, interests, and needs of diverse learners. You will present your WebQuest in class. As you begin planning you will want to consider the following:

References at least 5 (full citation in APA).

Purpose/Rationale – Provide detail on the purpose and rationale of your webquest. Why are you teaching a particular science concept using a WebQuest as a method of teaching?

Behavioral Objectives – Make sure that you include behavioral objectives/target(s) that are appropriate in number and match your activities and your assessment. Also, include Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) or Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

Engage Learners – Plan an engaging and creative webquest that promotes higher order thinking. Your quest must address appropriate instructional levels, interests, and needs of diverse learners and target a science misconception.

Grammar – Make sure to cite the information for your correct science. You need at least 5 references correctly cited in APA.

PowerPoint – Make sure that you have an appropriate amount of information on each slide, good color contrast, links to website (do not just link from the URL- use a button or picture), pictures, etc. You must include all needed materials (worksheets, rubrics, etc.).

There are numerous websites that talk about science misconceptions, as well as numerous links to them in NSTA.

Criteria for Success:
References include the web links within your presentation, along with those used to verify the correct science included within your presentation. References need biographic information.
Your webquest needs a hook or story line to get students engaged and excited about completing the webquest.
Use a photo or button to link to websites within your presentation (do not just link from the URL- use a button or picture), pictures.
Webquests are not appropriate for grade K or even grade one unless the slides are read to the students and the links they go to are videos.
Do not make a webquest for a topic that is better taught with hands-on investigations.
Read through the rubric to make sure you have completed all required tasks and components as described within the rubric.

Read Steven Keen’s 2020 article “The appallingly bad neoclassical economics of climate change”. Respond to the following questions using up to 400 words total:

1. In your introduction, summarize the movie’s context and your point of view about the mental illness demonstrated by the character you have chosen. Name your character in your introduction. You do not have to choose a character with a leading role in the movie. 2. Describe in depth, your character’s behaviors, signs and, symptoms which indicate mental illness. For each behavior, sign and symptom you notice provide an example of where you saw this in the movie. 3. What mental illness do you suspect your character has? Provide your understanding of DSM-V criteria for the selected mental health disorder as it applies to the character. You must provide examples from the movie. Use one of your articles to support your suspicion. 4. Is the Hollywood portrayal of the mental health disorder accurate? Demonstrate why or why not by comparing and contrasting the DSM-V criterion to the Hollywood portrayal of your character. Use one of your articles to support or refute the Hollywood portrayal of your character. 5. Choose an appropriate nursing diagnosis for your character with a realistic outcome and four applicable interventions including appropriate medications. 6. In your conclusion, describe how the movie made you feel when considering a client who has mental illness. Did the movie provide you with any additional understanding or ideas on how to care for such clients? Why or why not?

Lab Report Instructions:
Your report should include at a minimum the following elements:
Title of exercise
Describe in a single sentence the experiment that you carried out; making sure that the title is fully descriiptive of the exercise you carried out.
Aim/Objectives/Hypothesis
Provide sufficient background information to orient the reader to the laboratory exercise. Then, describe in a couple of sentences the aim(s) of the experiment. Please don’t restate what you did; however, mention WHY you did it. For example, “This lab was performed to assess the effect of sunlight exposure on tomato plants.” Your hypothesis should be an if/then statement. “If tomato plants are given unlimited sunlight, then we would expect them to grow to taller compared to plants that are only exposed to 12 hours of sunlight per day.” Be sure to carefully consider the variables in your experiment when formulating your hypothesis.
Methods
Describe how you conducted your experiment. The methods section should be a detailed descriiption of the methods you used for investigating your hypothesis (in past tense – you have completed the experiment and so should be written as past tense). It should include a descriiption of any equipment used, the timing of your experiments, the protocol for your experiments, etc. You need to include enough detail that another scientist could replicate your experiments following just the information you provide.
Results
The results section will include any observations made, data collected, etc. You should both describe the observations, data, etc. in words, and include graphs, photographs, and/or figures to enhance your results section. The narrative part of this section should be brief. Concisely state the experimental results that you obtained. Do not restate the methods used. Start with an overview statement of the general trend in your data and then go into more detail about individual data points, averages, etc. that will present a full picture of your results. You should use the text to describe the patterns, trends, etc. that you observe in your visuals (graphs, figures, etc.) and draw the reader’s attention to these trends. It is helpful to clue the reader into the fact that you’re discussing one of your figures by using notations such as “As illustrated in Figure 2….” You should NOT discuss whether or not your results support your hypothesis in the results section; save this assessment for the discussion section of your report. For example, here you would report a trend in the growth of tomato plants, but not what those results mean in terms of your hypothesis (sunlight did or did not help the tomato plants grow taller).
Discussion
Critically evaluate the results & discuss their significance. The discussion section should begin with a discussion of how/if your results support or reject your hypothesis. Following this sentence, you should discuss the major results of the experiment/investigation and go into more detail about how these results support, reject, or modify your original hypothesis. Present a rational analysis of your results. The idea is not to summarize your results (you should have already done that in the previous results section), but instead consider reasons underlying your results. What do your results tell you? Did the experiment work as planned? If not, explain why not? Pay particular attention to any positive or negative controls that were used! Were the values observed higher or lower than expected? Did any errors occur, or were there inherent problems in the experimental procedure? Discuss the significance of the experiment. Finish this section with conclusions that “wrap up” your report. Are there any remaining questions? Were there new questions raised by your investigation? What might you have done differently if you had the chance to do the experiment again?
Proper citations and references should be used throughout.

Throughout the course students are required to find examples of popular media articles/videos relevant to the material discussed. For a grade, submit a brief, reflective/summative composition of no more than 250-words for each media selection; this word count does not include the citation/link to the selection.
Each week, specific topics will be assigned to guide the search. For example, in week 3, “Two media selections. The first should have to do with genetically modified organisms (crop or livestock); the second should address cancer and its relationships to chromosomes and mitosis.” This direction means that in week 3, two brief reflections are to be submitted, each no more than 250-words (so 500-words combined).
Submit a link to the article/video with the prose. When more than one media selection is assigned, both essays may be placed in the same document, however they should be separate sections (i.e. separate paragraphs).
Find and respond to one media selection on the evolution of antibiotic resistant pathogens.
