CHANGE JOBS FOR EACH ASSIGNMENT WE DO!
Dear Scientists, You will each have a special job during our STEM lesson today. Please match the color of your card with your job! You cannot switch jobs with a friend. Remember, as a scientist, you must all the different parts of your career!
Red - Captain: The captain is in charge of reporting all of the final decisions of your group to the Head Scientist (your teacher)
Blue - Writer: The writer will do all of the writing in the group, even if it is on the board.
Orange - Researcher: Will be able to go to the computers and research any information needed to help your group successfully complete the tasks.Yellow - Inquirer - If your group has any questions about any of the tasks, the Inquirer has permission to ask the Head Scientist (your teacher).

SAVE THE SEA TURTLES!• Let’s talk about the Literacy piece first…• How does this connect to writing, math
and possibly social studies• Why is this important to real-life
instruction?• How can I help students make
connections that have no background experiences or prior knowledge of this content material?
![Page 12: Science and Literacy](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062310/56816245550346895dd28449/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
ENGINEERING• The teacher as the instructor• The teacher as the Leader• The teacher as the facilitator• Allowing the students to take ownership of their own
learning• Problem solving, thinking outside of the box, critical
thinking, and application of science content.
