Demonstrate the ability to plan instructional activities that integrate science and environmental education across curricular areas, are student-centered and foster a positive attitude toward science, are grounded in a solid understanding of science content, are applicable to daily life, are developmentally appropriate, meet the needs of diverse learners, apply appropriate and varied assessment strategies, and understand and apply the Next Generation Science Standards and the New York State Learning Standards in the context of your instructional activities
Ted Ed- The Chemistry of Cookies
W: Using scientific inquiry, I designed and implemented an experiment. That experiment turned into a lesson plan for my students. Students will use the scientific method to design and implement an experiment based on research. They must develop a plan, make predictions, research (cookie tasting) and learn about the chemistry that happens in baking cookies.
SW: Learning about chemistry in the context of COOKIES, is fun and relevant to their lives. Getting students to ask questions, seeking out answers and having a sense a wonder in the content area of science, are the types of skills I want to develop in my students. I model those skills in my presentation.
To meet the needs of diverse learners, this lesson has multiple means of representation: hands on component (cookie tasting), reading, writing, listening, speaking, collaboration (group research and presentation), popular children's picture book, audio, transcripts of audio, video and independent worksheets. The lesson has many checkpoints/assessments along the way, accessing students prior knowledge, to make sure that every student in the classroom can meet the objectives.
NW: Testing out experiments before your students do, was a valuable lesson for me as a teacher. I realized that my rubric was missing things or that my worksheet was too long. Students need teachers who are prepared and have designed a lesson that is well thought out and tested.

Objectives:
Students will use scientific inquiry to pose questions and seek out answers AND access and generate research, develop a plan based on scientific method AND analyze research and data and develop solutions.
MST Standards:
Standard 1: Students will use mathematical analysis, scientific inquiry, and engineering design, as appropriate, to pose questions, seek answers, and develop solutions.
Standard 2: Students will access, generate, process, and transfer information using appropriate technologies Taster Rubric
To get students to ask questions and create wonder, we are going to have a COOKIE TASTING!
