Week 8 5 E Lesson Plan and Group Project

This week was a group work week. This week the group worked on constructivism. Constructivism is the theory that the teacher will guide the students through learning instead of directing them. Many times teachers are just the vessel for passing and telling students information. In this model students are passive learners. In the constructivism model, students are active learners. The students are provided with activities that enhance their learning making them actively think and use new information. This helps the students to get a better understanding of the material and how it cold be used in the real world. In our group my job was to a 5 E lesson plan. The 5 E lesson plan is  a constructive science lesson plan. I picked a lesson on how viruses would spread. In the lesson students will simulate how one infected individual can pass on the infection to other in the class by sharing a drink. Student will observe how infections can quickly spread among populations.  I also have to create a few popwerpoint slides for our groups presentation. My slides will be on the lesson plan just giving the class a brief outline of what the lesson is about. Overall the group worked well again in preforming the tasks of the webquest.
