This unit brings the world of science into the classroom of a second language teacher through simple experiments that require very little preparation but have a high interest value for the class. It presents a fun, light-hearted look at science for the non-scientist teacher and the secondlanguage student. Students will learn some basic scientific vocabulary, while also discovering the scientific process through motivating hands-on experiments. Throughout the unit students are shown the scientific inquiry process of identifying a question, listing the materials required, conductingand describing the experiment, analyzing the result and coming up with a conclusion. Along the way, they also learn about Francophone cultural components that are linked to their science theme. Final Task: Students work in small groups to create a science show for a younger audience. The show features fun and motivating science experiments. Each member in a group is integrated in the final presentation as host, expert, or lab technician. The TRB is organized into 8 to 10 "lessons". Each lesson is broken down into three phases: Pre-Activity, Activity, Post-Activity. The TRB contains methodology, language, content and outcomes summary charts, and comprehensive lesson plans written by practicing teachers. Also includes assessment andevaluation with reproducible rubrics, checklists and worksheets, as well as additional activities (in reproducible master format). In every thematic unit, teaching notes are provided for combined grades, differentiated instruction for varying ability levels and for varying the final task. | Communi-Quete: 2 Les mysteres de la science by Irene Bernard, Spiral Bound | Indigo Chapters
