This course is a project based course.The students will research current events in science.They will create posters, news articles, science magazines, presentations etc. This is the first year teaching this course so I will be creating as I go. The beginning week, the students are finding a current events article of interest to them then presenting the summarized article to the class. The pedagogy is called G.I.S.T.
Oral Presentations
Students will speak publicly once during this course. They will research a science topic of interest, and deliver an oral presentation to the class. They will be graded according to the BHS oral communication rubric.
