Biology Lesson
Original Task:
Students collect data in their workbooks
Modification: Using google sheets students collaboratively share
and compare their data. Once students have done this they can use
equations in the software to analyse their combined data and create
graphs and statistics to later draw conclusions from.
Due to basic scientific fundamentals being needed, this task should
not be performed in this context until in the higher age groups
from grades 10-12, to begin with.
It also engages students with many of the content dotpoints from
the K-10 syllabus section, Processing and Analysing Data and
Infromation: "using a range of representations to organise data,
including graphs, keys , models, diagrams, tables and spreadsheets."
Geography Lesson
Original Task: Students learn how to calculate the gradient of different maps.
Modification: Using the flipped learning approach the teacher records an instructional video for the students on how to calculate the gradient of a mountain on a map. The students are required to watch the video as homework. The following day in the classroom the students will spend the lesson calculating the gradient of slopes on maps provided by the teacher. This time will allow the students to practice and hone their mapping techniques.
This lesson would focus on the H10 syllabus outcome: “applies maps, graphs and statistics, photographs and fieldwork to analyse and integrate data in geographical contexts.”
