Questions are an integral part of science and science education. Questioning in science classrooms should drive science investigations. Using the “5E Lesson Plan Template” you wrote in Topic 3, the “5E Questions Table,” and Webb’s DOK Levels, draft two different questions for each of the 5Es (total of 10 questions). Incorporate the following into your questions: Ensure each question is aligned to the learning target of the lesson plan. Represent all four DOK levels in the table, and at least half the questions need to be at a level 3 or 4. Questions should encourage exploration, problem solving, and activating prior knowledge. Compose a 250-500 word rationale of why the questions align with the “E” and meet the DOK levels for each question. Submit the “5E Questions Table” and rationale as one submission. APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected. This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion. You are required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
