Welcome to Bloom's Revised Taxonomy
Introduction
This page will provide evidence of Standard 3 of he Queensland College of Teachers Standards. This will be achieved through using the scaffolding of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy of higher order thinking questions.The context of these lessons are taken for the Year 6 Australian Curriculum And Reporting Authority on Science. Focus for the lesson is the Strand of Physical Sciences and sub-strand of Science Understanding.
The six areas that will be addressed are Remembering, Understanding, Appling, Analysing, Evaluating and Creating. These techniques' can be accessed by clicking on the headings at the top of the page. These lessons are progressing toward the summative task. They are not all sequential however they do follow in a logical order. If they were used in a class the students would need extra lessons between the evaluating and creating lessons.
Content Descriptors
Electrical circuits provide a means of transferring and transforming electricity. (ACSSU097)
Elaborations
* recognising the need for a complete circuit to allow the flow of electricity
* investigating different electrical conductors
* exploring the features of electrical devices
Contextual Information
Prior learning;
1. Conductors and insulators have already been explored.
2.The students know how to construct a simple Series Circuit.
Focus Questions:
1. Remembering; Reproduce how components of electrical circuits are represented by locating and matching the symbol to the definition?
2. Understanding; Demonstrate how the light in the circuit could be made dimmer/ brighter?
3. Applying; Construct a graph from information collected that examines the materials that were used to effect the results of the brightness of the light bulb?
4. Analysing; Illustrate what would occur in a series circuit if one of the bulbs was removed.
5. Evaluating; Prepare a persuasive paragraph on the most suitable lighting circuit for a modern public building.
6. Creating: Construct an effective electrical circuit for a house and demonstrate it through modelling it on a diorama. Create a switch that will automatically turn on the power to the circuit.
I hope you enjoy the lessons focused on Bloom's Taxonomy of Higher Order Thinking.
