This lesson includes questions for students to answer that are not clearly given in the video or the reading which provokes crit thinking. Students are using their scientific basics and processes of scientific inquiry. They are observing the video and making inferences on what and why things are occurring. This lesson has a direct link to the real world because it focuses on Natural Selection or survival of the fittest theory. Students learn an example of pollution affecting the environment and how that affec various species. The students are directed to website where they can see the actual lesson and know what they are supposed completing in the classroom. The lesson begins with a video which I believe will grab their attention because it is similar to cart Students also during the lesson play a game which many students can relate to in the late elementary grades. Students are as on their science notebooks and group discussion that moves into class discussion to have each group share their ideas on the definition of Natural Selection and what "survival of the fittest" means.

THE BAD & THE UGLY: Spiders and Measurement http://mste.illinois.edu/courses/ci302sp02/students/stleger/Lessons/Measurement.html

I rated this lesson as a bad one for several reasons. The students were researching scientific information on the web but they only asked to fill out a worksheet. It seems like the lesson just consists of having students read a website and answer questio which does not go beyond factual knowledge or allow students to practice critical thinking. Even though there are three subjec integrated into this lesson (technology, science, and math), I feel that students could have been able to complete the scientif aspect through using textbooks. I was thinking that you could make this lesson a lot broader, for instance instead of just havin students research spiders, let them choose their own subject. You could have the students pick the insect that's most interes
