In an attempt to state the curriculum objectives of the project with specific 21st Century skills and higher-order skills, I have written down the following: Objectives: Identify aquatic organisms in a water sample. (curriculum) Use sampling and counting techniques to estimate population size. (curriculum) Collaborate in groups to agree, with substantial reasoning, on the most appropriate sampling method to apply for each of the different water samples to be taken.(21st Century skill) Critically examine data on numbers of micro-organisms in the different samples and, considering other environmental factors observed, draw a conclusion about the patterns. (21st Century skill) Create a blog with content compiled by all learners, containing details of the story of the entire project, the observations made and the conclusions/hypothesis deduced.

ReplyDeleteEdward,thank you for tireless contribution towards fighting the academic and professional giant at our fore front.Indeed youtube educational videos indeginously made are very scarce and the best thing to do is to''CREATE'' them.Dear,remoteness of my workplace is doing me more harm than good.Poor internet connectivity and lack of infrastructure besides distance to the nearest cafe are my major setbacks but no turning back.Hoping to catch up.thanks.
