Answering Questions

What is the content you are focusing on in your science lesson?
I am focusing on teaching my third grade classroom about non-living and living organisms in an environment. This is objective 2, standard 1, but my post discusses how to build off of this lesson to cover standard 2 of objective 2 as well.
What is the pedagogy you are using and why is it a good fit with the content?
My pedagogy is a class discussion about the organisms showing images and allowing the students to ask questions about the pictures and organisms. I researched each organism before showing the picture so I would be able to answer their questions, and if I wasn’t able to answer their questions then I already knew where I could find the information from my prior research on the internet about the organisms. This is a good fit with the content because the students can ask me questions and inquire about the organisms and visually see the organisms and aquire information orally about organisms.
What is the technology you’ll be using and why is it a good fit with the content and pedagogy?
The technology I used was Virtual Pond Dip. It is a good fit with the content and pedagogy because I discussed living and non-living organisms and the pond dip allows students to use hands-on technology to explore what I had previously taught them about.
