Tech Savvy Teacher--TPACK Questions

Here are the TPACK questions for my science project about Clouds.

Content

The Utah Core Curriculum I decided to work with is 4th grade Standard 2, Objective 1a:
Objective 1 Observe, measure, and record the basic elements of weather
a. Identify basic cloud types (i.e., cumulus, cirrus, stratus clouds)

Pedagogy

• Observing
• Classifying, inferring, predicting, measuring
• Acquiring and processing data (constructing table of data, constructing graphs, describing relationships)
• Analyzing data

These strategies are met through this activity, because we are researching each type of cloud (observing), we are also classifying and inferring each type of cloud, we are analyzing pictures and data we found, and we are create charts using Kidsperation technology to organize our findings.

Technology

We used Kidsperation. This is a great tool to organize, observe, analyze, and create graphs with all of our new-found information. It is a fun, hands-on activity that kids can use to learn about different aspects of science.
