Assessment Task 2 by Julie Mitchell s0191042 and Heather White s0191068 Learning science with digital task cards Digital task cards: Four digital task cards have been created to scaffold the science learning of small groups of students. Each card is designed to be used within a different year level and is designed to meet the requirements of selected outcomes of the Australian Curriculum in Science. Students are able to investigate, ask questions and make discoveries for themselves as they participate in purposeful learning sessions and follow the links to further resources provided. Teachers page: Curriculum: The teachers page provides a link to the Australian Curriculum and also provides the Science Understanding sub strands targeted within the learning journey. Content descriptions are broken into the declarative and procedural knowledge outcomes to be achieved through the investigation. Teacher information: The teacher's page provides a context for the use of the card and maps out specific details for how the card would be used within the classroom. Design details of the learning journey are provided showing how the 5 Es model (Australian Academy of Science, 2007) was used to scaffold students as they work scientifically by posing questions, collecting and representing data, analysing evidence, relating evidence and conclusions and developing further investigations. Relevant content knowledge is provided to support the teacher.
