I designed
this course as an introduction to lab safety. It is based on a standard that
would need to be taught at the beginning of a unit.
S3CS3.
Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring, and
manipulating objects in scientific activities utilizing safe laboratory
procedures.
c. Identify
and practice accepted safety procedures in manipulating science materials and
equipment.
The learning
objectives would be
• Ability to identify tools and
knowledge of how to use them properly
• Knowledge of what to do and not to
in the science lab
• Ability to synthesize knowledge and
give examples of proper and improper use
• Ability to present knowledge
The lesson
would be sequenced to review and teach basic safety to students. Students would
have a choice in how they learned. I offer a game and a video or they may do
both. After they were taught, it would test them on the concepts. Finally, the
class would have them create a poster showing how they applied the rules.
It would be assessed with a rubric based on
their test and product.
The rubric
could be structured around areas to determine if they met the learning
objective.
Students
would need to have a sufficient score in each of the four areas of the rubric
to demonstrate competency.
·
Ability to identify
tools and knowledge of how to use them properly
·
Knowledge of what
to do and not to in the science lab
·
Ability to
synthesize knowledge and give examples of proper and improper use
·
Ability to
present knowledge
Making sure the assessment
correlates to the standards and that students are critically thinking is essential
to designing competencies. In this assignment the pathways can be different, the students can choose to present information. Students can use their learning
style.
