Critical Thinking: Critical Problem Solving - FLASH-MAC
ELA, Strategies, Grade 5, 6, 7, 8, Activities
Critical Thinking: Critical Problem Solving - FLASH-MAC Paves the Way for Enhanced Learning The Critical Problem Solving Graphic Organizer mini is a progressive teaching tool, expertly designed with teachers and students in mind. By mimicking real-world problem-solving experiences, this resource is a fantastic way to introduce critical thinking within the classroom setting. This resource is specifically targeted at those studying Language Arts in grades 5 through 8. This step-by-step interactive software offers students the opportunity to solve presented problems by physically dragging and arranging elements on-screen. To begin with, they identify the highlighted problem from a given situation and move it to Step 1. Following this initial stage, three potential solutions are showcased, allowing for comprehensive solution analysis. Students are encouraged to critically evaluate each option before selecting what they consider as most apt. This chosen solution gets dragged onto Step 4 which then reveals its outcome. The final stage requires pupils to assess this outcome alongside their initial problem - deciphering whether their chosen solution has effectively solved it or not. This holistic approach replicates true-to-life scenarios where thinking steps are seldom laid outright—one needs to recognize problems tucked away within circumstances and identify practical solutions where multiple options exist—heightening engagement and applying knowledge practically. Useful in whole group settings for interactive discussions or smaller groups—and even individually—for personal development exercises or homework assignments; it provides flexibility across multiple learning situations while promoting core educational values of critical thinking and rational decision making. `Critical Problem Solving Flash-Mac` teaches beyond traditional textbooks. It brings topics alive by utilizing visually stimulating software technologies that resonate well with modern learners who prefer learn-by-doing methods over passive learning styles—preparing them better for real-world situations like never before. Overall, equipping educators with heightened versatility when delivering lessons tailored towards discovery-based experiential learning strategies that inspire cognitive growth amongst young minds—an essential supplement on every educator's digital toolkit indeed!

"Dunkirk" is a 2017 war movie directed by Christopher Nolan, which tells the story of the evacuation of British and Allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk during World War II. The movie is divided into three overlapping stories: one following a young British soldier named Tommy, played by Fionn Whitehead, as he tries to escape Dunkirk; another following a civilian mariner named Mr. Dawson, played by Mark Rylance, as he sails to Dunkirk to help rescue soldiers; and a third following Royal Air Force pilot Farrier, played by Tom Hardy, as he tries to protect the evacuating ships from German fighter planes. As the German army advances on Dunkirk, the British army, along with French and Belgian troops, find themselves trapped on the beaches, with the only hope of survival being a massive evacuation by sea. The movie depicts the brutal and chaotic nature of war, as well as the bravery and determination of soldiers and civilians alike. "Dunkirk" was praised for its stunning visuals and immersive sound design, which captured the intense and harrowing nature of war. The movie was also applauded for its unique storytelling structure, which created a sense of urgency and tension throughout the film. "Dunkirk" was a critical and commercial success, earning numerous accolades, including three Academy Awards. This product comes with a worksheet detailing the background of Dunkirk.

This resource covers the following topics: - Skin layers - Hair - Sweat - Skin color - Sunburn and tanning - Nails Bonus Activities: To ensure your students don't have any downtime between stations, your lab also includes a 10-word word scramble and word search, both with an answer key. You can use them as part of their mark, as a bonus so it's not mandatory, etc. However you choose to use it, it will ensure that your students are always busy and never idle. Note: For stronger classes, I give the word scramble and for weaker ones, the word search. How do the Lab Stations work? Each station is specially designed to be a unique complement to the material while at the same time, provide a valuable learning experience. Below is an overview of how each station works. In your activity , each will be tailored to the specific content. Station 1: Get Hands-On – using their creative skills, students are required to draw or build. Station 2: Research – using a classroom computer or their own device, students must research a specific question/issue surrounding the topic. Station 3: Explain yourself – students write down an opinion to a question in paragraph form. Station 4: Rest Station - students can use this time to catch up on work they didn't have time to complete at a previous station or prepare themselves for an upcoming one. Station 5 - Applicability reading – students read a short passage from an article, website, etc. which directly connects the classroom content to a real-life application. Station 6: Test your knowledge – students answer 5 multiple choice questions than provide a written explanation for how/why they came to their conclusions. Station 7: Learn from the expert – using a classroom computer or their own device, students must watch a short video clip and answer the associated questions. They may stop, rewind and restart as often as they like during the time frame. Station 8 - Rest Station. Station 9: Become the question master – Students must create 2 multiple-choice questions, 2 true/false questions and 1 short answer question. Students must also supply the answers. ------------------------------- You might also be interested in my other lab station activities Biology: • Cell and the Cell Theory • The Human Digestive System • The Circulatory System • The Human Respiratory System • Mitosis and the Cell Cycle • Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis • Photosynthesis • Cancer: Cell Division Gone Wrong - Volume I • Cancer: Cell Division Gone Wrong - Volume II • Cell Membrane and Transport • Hearing and the Human Ear • The Human Eye • Genetic Material: DNA and RNA • The Nervous System • Energy Flow In Ecosystems • DNA Manipulation and GMOs • Transcription and Translation • Cellular Respiration • Thermoregulation • Proteins and Nucleic Acids • Mutations • Meiosis • DNA, Genes, Chromosomes, and Alleles • Genetic Disorders • Fats • Reproductive Technologies • Muscular and Skeletal System • Integumentary System Coming Soon: - Excretory system - Endocrine system - Carbohydrates and Lipids Physics: • Newton's Three Laws of Motion • Kinetic and Gravitational Potential Energy • Current Electricity and Circuit Diagrams • Static Electricity • Light Optics and the Production of Light • Sound, Sound Energy and Speed • One and Two-Dimensional Motion • Uniform Acceleration • How Planes Fly • Refraction • Friction • Energy and Its Forms • Density and Buoyancy • Electricity Production • Calculating Average Speed, Velocity, and Displacement • Mass, Volume, Density, & Buoyancy • Work and Energy • Renewable Energy • Plate Tectonics • The Rock Cycle • Natural Disasters • Pressure, Volume, and Temperature Coming Soon: - Work = F x d - Nonrenewable energy sources - Projectile Motion - Momentum, Conservation of Momentum and Impulse - Power - The Doppler Effect and Supersonic Travel Chemistry: • Atomic Model, Notation and Atoms • Chemical Reactions and Balancing Equations • Molecular and Ionic Compounds • Physical and Chemical Properties & Changes • Acids, Bases, and Neutralization Reactions • The Periodic Table • Single and Double Displacement Reactions • Balancing Chemical Equations • Synthesis, Decomposition and Combustion Reactions • Atomic Theory, Atomic Structure and Isotopes • Types of Bonds and Intermolecular Forces • The Mole/Avogadro's Number • Density and Buoyancy • The Particle Theory and the Classification of Matter • Pure Substances and Mixtures • Solutions and Mechanical Mixtures Coming Soon: - Periodic table group properties General Science: • The Scientific Method and Science Skills • The Different Types of Clouds Ecology and the Environment: • Ecosystems • The Classification of Living Things • Biodiversity and Invasive Species • The Carbon and Water Cycle • Climate Change • Photosynthesis • Cellular Respiration and Photosynthesis • Ecological Succession • Plant Sexual and Asexual Reproduction • Earth's Seasons • Interactions Within Ecosystems • Physical and Behavioral Adaptations Space Science: • The Life and Death of Stars • The Moon and its Phases • Life In Space • Our Solar System • Solar and Lunar Eclipse • Earth's Seasons • Asteroids, Comets and Meteors These station cards are meant to be used as a lab activity but can also be utilized in a review task before a test or a quiz.
