A Closer Look at Worms (Part 1)
by Veronica Perrone
This is a series of 4 lessons lasting 30 minutes each. This is the first of two slide decks of lessons focusing on worm inquiry and technology. The lessons in this slide deck use digital microscopes.
The learning experiences were designed to follow the 5E lesson planning format:
1- Engage
2- Explore
3- Explain
4- Elaborate
5- Evaluate
This slide deck contains the first 3 Es. The coordinating slide deck (linked) concludes with 4 & 5. The slide decks are separated because one incorporates digital microscopes and the other uses an online video presentation tool called FlipGrid (now Flip).
