- Following our curriculum to study living organisms, we chose to study bears. To start out the unit and to find out the children's prior knowledge, we had a discussion about bears. Because of the children's misconceptions, the discussion led to what topics we would cover in teaching about bears. They include; what bears look like, what they eat, where they live, if they hibernate, and where their den is. There are 7 different types of bears so we took each bear and explored these topics. The lessons are very similar and are used to address their misconceptions and gain a foundation about bears.
- Before and during the explorations of bears, the students have had several opportunities to learn basic skills working on computers and programs. Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Word, and PowerPoint are the main software programs the children learned and utilized during this unit. Other technology tools they used were scanners, digital cameras, and the Internet.
- The Assessment was done during every lesson and activity by observation, filling in the chart, and checking over the worksheets.
