1. Group Work: "Group work provides frequent opportunities for students to communicate, to share observations and insights, test hypotheses, and jointly construct knowledge (az.gov). This is beneficial to students because they are able to teach and help each other learn the subject. This could be used when reading and understanding the text or completing an experiment.
2. Use of graphic organizers: Students are able to organize their information to understand the difficult subject for some students. This would be very helpful for students who are visual. Students would be able see the details about the topic in an easy format.
3. Activation of prior knowledge: This is a great strategy to get students thinking. This would be great for students because when they start thinking they might know more about a topic than they thought. Also, the teacher would be able to see where the students are functioning before the unit began.
4. Manipulatives/Materials: I love manipulatives! This is great for all students because it gets them up and moving. Science would be great for manipulatives because of all the experiments. This is also really great for students who are visual.
5. Word Walls: The terms in science are difficult to understand/remember. Word walls are beneficial to students because it is a reminder for the students of the difficult terms. The terms can be placed on the wall after the lesson.
