Mountain Age: Discussion Questions

Question 1

Some ideas in science are hard for young children to conceptualize because:

a) The young children lack enough ability to understand extended periods of geological era

in which landform changes occur.

b) Young children have challenges of literal interpretations pertaining to visual information.

Question 2

There seems to be no the correct answer to the "Mountain Age" because when it comes to

the determination of the age of the mountains, it includes various associating factors which cannot

be acknowledged purely through visual cues.

On the other hand, uncovering students’ ideas is vital than getting the right answer because

the probe makes the students to think visible as well as engaging them in the concepts they will be

learning about. Through engaging, the students in sharing their ideas open up the minds of the

students to understand the concept behind the subject being taught. As a teacher, you can avoid

the right answer approach through the use of probes to uncover the perception of the students at

any moment during an instructional pattern as well as holding back providing students with the

answer so they may discover it by themselves.

Question 3

For the probe to address the essential issue, it has employed the use of A Scheme for K-

12 Science Education; the framework helps to correctly identify as well as describe the main ideas

which were applied to inform on the standards of the science development of the coming

generation (NRC 2012)

The ideas that the probe elicit to address the essential question are before the students’

complete grade 5; they should acknowledge that living organisms, water, wind, gravity damage

rocks as well as ice, sediments as well as soil into minor particles and carry them around. These

ideas will automatically answer the core question,

Question 4

A class profile for a probe valuation is defined as an approach for instructors to record,

analyze as well as share the information with their colleagues to planning guidelines which aim at

children’s commonly perceived concepts about the phenomenon.

The profile for a formative assessment can be used to provide the misconception or

incompletely formed concepts of students in a written form which can be used by the teacher to

refer while supervising change in conception among the students over time. Again, the profile for

a formative assessment provides data which would assist the instructor to probe further or

differentiate instructions for a category of learners showing similarities in their misconceptions.

Besides, teachers can have more sharing as well as holding discussions on the profile for formative

assessment in their specialized learning societies, therefore, encouraging the power of a unified

group to examine thinking of learners as well as discussing instructional tactics for tackling ideas

of students.

Question 5

The profile indicates that a good fraction of the students have started gaining the idea of

mountain building while other students are yet to get the concept. From the response, students have

indicated small mountains are young, again not jagged, implying the students understand the sense

of growth. While other students gave repeat answers with no explanations, meaning that the

concept is yet to sink in themselves. Therefore, the data tells me I have two groups of students.

Group one is seeing the sense of mountain growth while group two does not. Now, the data informs

me to probe further to examine whether group two have a beginning concept of mountain

development and invent ways to help them catch up with group one.
