Learning?
bloom's taxonomy overview
http://www.businessballs.com/bloomstaxonomyoflearningdomains.htm
Review your Webquest tasks etc to focusing on the highest level of taxonomy!
2. Reconsider the groupings of pupils, How individual and group work are sequenced?
See e.g. http://www.jigsaw.org/overview.htm

Model-based learning and greenhouse effect (Webquest)
Firs lesson
Model-based learning and greenhouse effect (Webquest)
Introduction
This Webquest tries to introduce the theory of Model-based learning in context of simulations. The topic in this case will be learning of greenhouse effect. You are asked to externalize your own conception or mental model of the issue, and after that you are asked to study and model again the topic with a simulation. The purpose of this is to
a) introduce the model-based learning theory/approach of science teaching
b) introduce computer based simulation as a learning tool
c) Introduce the Webquest as instructional design model
d) consider possibilities of information and communication technology (ICT) as collaborative learning environment
Task
Your task is to make online diary or shared notes about the topic on the xxx environment/platform. In these you will make a report on: a) your model and modelling/simulation report of the greenhouse effect, b) short notes about model-based learning and use of simulations as (teaching and) learning tool. This project can be used as an example to your own instructional design (course assignment for the rest of this course).
Process ( and resources)
1. Individual work: read first pages 24 and 24 from the given article and make short answer to question: what kind of models there was mentioned and what’s their role in learning
http://dx.doi.org/10.1023/B:JOST.0000019636.06814.e3
2. Individual work: roughly sketch (5 min) on a paper your model of the greenhouse effect, the role of the globe, atmosphere, light, radiation, gases etc.
3. Work in pairs: Run the simulation of greenhouse effect http://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/greenhouse and make a report about these:
a. make general overview of the issue (corrections to your sketch?)
b. Do you know enough about the about the atmosphere?
c. What are the main things affecting to phenomena:
d. run the simulations at least when there are: gas concentration is none and lots, 1750, Today, report your observations
Click to Run
4. Try to make short text about: Our experience of Model-based learning in the context of simulation of the greenhouse effect. (one comment about webquest)
