This program looks at the rationale for this kind of processing, and strategies that can help students construct new mental frameworks.//"
 * __Workshop 6: Bring It All Together: Processing for Meaning During Inquiry__ **

This video is from Annenberg Media. In our Science PLC meeting in December, we viewed this video and used the accompanying worksheet to guide discussion.

Start video from 8:45 through 13:00 for the segment we watched. It features a 5th grade science classroom discussion on biodegradation. This highlights the importance of using Science Notebooks for recording and reference, as the students are not using notebooks at all. How might Science Notebooks augment this lesson?

We used the graphic organizer below, which you may find useful to rework for your classroom use. (Thank you to Sally Wolfe.)
