Science Knowledge Survey Introduction A recent study shows that if teachers know the likely misconceptions that their students have about a topic, those students will show greater gains than if the teacher just knows the accurate science involved.
This makes a very strong case for assessing students to see what misconceptions they may have about each upcoming general topic. In order to get an untainted insight into any misconceptions about the nature of science that your students may have, you may want to administer a short pre-test within the first day or so of the course. Science Knowledge Survey. Schoolyard Habitats FAQs. Schools and organizations benefit from certifying their habitat projects in many ways.
When a school gets certified, National Wildlife Federation sends the school a press release the school can send to local papers. This publicity helps schools gain additional community support and aids in future fundraising efforts for the schoolyard project. Once certified, schools are also able to order an attractive sign, which they can post to announce and describe their efforts. In addition, certified schools can receive an online newsletter specifically for educators, and benefit from belonging to this dynamic network of educators and schools involved in habitat restoration and hands-on outdoor instruction. Most people find that applying for certification is a helpful, tangible goal along the road of habitat restoration.
