Schedule an ALL-DAY science and technology event! Most schools have students rotate through several lessons during their scheduled day.
Remember, your classroom teachers actually teach the lesson while the USU Program Coordinator is on-site to replenish consumable items and fix components if the need arises.
Here's how: |
| A variety of class rotation patterns can be devised. Easiest is
to simply list the teachers in a given rotation (grade grouping) and have the kids
rotate successively to the next class on the list. |
| Example A: |
K-2 teachers are in one rotation, 3-4 in another, and 5-6 in a third but all using the same beginning and ending times.
We strongly suggest that the minimum time for each session be 40-45 minutes.
This will allow each student to see up to 6 modules.
| Teacher A |
All K-2 students start in their regular classroom.
At the end of session one, students rotate
to the next teacher on the list of K-2 classes
Teacher A students go to Teacher B, B to C, etc.
Teacher F students rotate to Teacher A.
Same for grades 3-4 and 5-6 |
| Teacher B |
| Teacher C |
| Teacher D |
| Teacher E |
| Teacher F |
|
|
| Example B: |
K-2 teachers are in one rotation, 3-4 in another, and 5-6 in a third but using various beginning and ending times.
We strongly suggest that the minimum time for each session be 40-45 minutes.
This will allow each student to see 6 modules.
| Grade 1 |
40 to 45 minute rotation |
| Grade 2 |
|
| Grade 3 |
45-55 minute rotation |
| Grade 4 |
|
| Grade 5 |
55-60 minute rotation |
| Grade 6 |
|
|
| If you have more than 6 teachers but less than 12, we suggest you
list all the teachers and rotate the students through just 6 classes. With
12 or more teachers in a group, do two rotations. For less than 6 teachers
in a group, enlarge the group to include another class. |
