Science Action Plan By: Steven Wojnarski

Scientific Literacy

Debate: Students will be be presented with the debate question, Is Climate Change Real? They will Also be assigned a stakeholder role (Prime Minister, scientist, oil lobbyist etc) Students will research their perspective, and present it during the debate

Literacy Test Practice: I do an activity with my grade 10s every semester during the climate unit or optics unit. They have to read the given article and answer comprehension questions similar to that of the Literacy Test. We use actual practice or past literacy tests for this

Metacognition

Concept Mapping: Students will create a mindomo mind map after each of their units to help organize the big ideas of the unit, and to use as a study tool for the assessment. Students will review their concept map with their teacher throughout

Reflective "Quiz": At midterms, students will complete a quiz ranking themselves in each of the learning skills, and will create a goal to revisit at the end of the course

Mental Health

Deep Breathing Meditation: Before a test, we will engage in some deep breathing exercises so that students can feel calm before they write any assessment. Students can also shake our glitter jar if they are stressed or overwhelmed.

Warm Fuzzies: Encourage students to write little thank you messages to each other for simple tasks- someone cleaned up their lab, or helped them study for a test. Students place these warm fuzzies in a jar and at the end of the month, they are read aloud so everyone can feel great about the nice things they did for each other

Prayer Walk: This is a great strategy for any student wanting to participate In our school, we will walk to the chapel once a month to pray together as a class to thank God for the gift of life. In Our science classes, we also thank Him for presenting us with the mysteries of science that we discover every day. If students do not identify as religious, modify this activity by walking outside, and feeling greatful. Create a gratitude journal and write three things each day that you were thankful for

Lab Safety

Lab Rules Charrades: Students have to act out through a game of charrades a variety of broken rules for the audience to guess. The correct guesser will then act out the correct following of that rule

Lab Equipment Kahoot: Students will have a pictured piece of lab equipment and have to guess what it is called, and what it is used for

WHMIS walk around: Students will walk around each lab bench and identify the symbols they see on each substance
