Lamb

*To see more specific ideas about the project please go to the "Lamb plate tectonics" page. (7/25/10)
Basic Idea of project**: I want to use the plate tectonic aspect of the Jason Project and the real-time images that are available regarding earthquake data. Also, google earth and google maps have resources that I can use with my students. After learning about Wikis, I might have students work in groups to create a Wiki page. I would have them work on topics like sea-floor spreading, subduction, etc. Blocks can comment through a peer response on projects offering suggestions. Also, I created a wall on wallwisher and I could have students add to it. This might be a used to answer focus questions, provide interesting facts, or vocabulary words. I think I have too many ideas and I need to try and narrow my lesson ideas down.**


 * ​**Comment:
 * Carrie, you are off to a great start! You have presented several ideas for a lesson to promote scientific inquiry using a web 2.0 tool. Yes, you do have to narrow your lesson down to your specific indicator/objective. The role of your collaborating partners is to assist you in that endeavor. I suggest that you add the indicator/objective to give them something to go on.**
 * Also, each partner will have their own page for Science 2.0 C. Would you like to start the page navigation by adding your title to the left green section?**

Standards/Indicators:

Standard 2.0 Earth/Space Science **Students will use scientific skills and processes to explain the chemical and physical interactions (i.e., natural forces and cycles, transfer of energy) of the environment, Earth, and the universe that occur over time.** Objective b (Recognize and explain that major geologic events occur along crustal plate boundaries)
 * Topic C: Plate Tectonics **
 * Indicator 1 **
 * Objective c (Identify and describe the Earth’s crust) **
 * Indicator 2 **
 * Objective a (Recognize and describe the evidence for plate movement) ** ***I will be focusing on Objective a and b. ﻿**

Topic C: Communicating Scientific Information Indicator 1 Objective b (Interpret tables and graphs produced by others and describe in words the relationships they show) Objective e (Explain how different models can be used to represent the same thing. What kind of a model to use and how complex it should be depend on its purpose.)
 * Standard 1.0 Skills and Processes **Students will demonstrate the thinking and acting inherent in the practice of science

B. Encourage Collaboration 1.Select and use technology tools to encourage collaboration a) Use technology tools to work collaboratively within the school community b) Use technology tools to exchange ideas with individuals or groups outside of the school community C. Increase Productivity 1. Select and use technology tools to increase productivity f) collect, manipulate, analyze and display data and information using tools such as calculators and computers
 * Technology Standard 3.0** – Technology for Learning and Collaboration : Use a variety of technologies for learning and collaboration
