Higher education science scaffolded notes for Microsoft Word

Basic Principles, Measurement, Science

Many people use the terms “accuracy” and “precision” interchangeably. However, for students of science, these words have different implications. This concept comparison helps Ss contrast between accuracy and precision in measurements, and between repeatable and reproducible to be reliable.The Concept Comparison Routine is used help compare and contrast key concepts. Specifically, students use like and unlike characteristics and categories shared and not shared by two or more concepts to better

Teachers use the Strategic Instruction Model (SIM) Framing Routine to transform abstract main ideas and key topics into a concrete representation that helps students think about and talk about the key topic and essential related information. SIM is about promoting effective teaching and learning of critical content in schools. SIM strives to help teachers make decisions about what is of greatest importance, what we can teach students to help them to learn, and how to teach them well.Personally,

Concept Compare: Why Does the Sun Shine? Thermonuclear Fusion! (p-p and CNO)

Created by

Astronomy, Chemistry, Physics

This Concept Comparison of Thermonuclear Fusion contrasts proton-proton (p-p) chain reactions, and the "cold" carbon-nitrogen-oxygen (CNO) cycles. Help Ss communicate scientific ideas about the way stars produce elements over their life cycle. Emphasis is on the way nucleosynthesis, and therefore the different elements created, varies as a function of the mass of a star and the stage of its lifetime. As cosmologist Carl Sagan famously said, “We are made of star stuff.” And we literally are! We a
