Small Group Science Remediation: Engaging Students with Technology and Hands-On Learning
Small Group Science Remediation: Engaging Students with Technology and Hands-On Learning Introduction: Why Small Group Remediation Matters When students struggle with complex life science concepts like photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and mitosis, targeted small group remediation can make a huge difference. In my Life Science classroom, I worked with three students who needed focused instruction in these areas, right before our end-of-quarter exam. By pairing strategic technology tools with hands-on learning activities , I was able to engage these learners, support different styles of thinking, and ensure concepts clicked in meaningful ways. Day 1: Photosynthesis with Visual Sorts and Interactive Whiteboards Our first session zeroed in on the reactants and products of photosynthesis . To help students visualize and understand these components, we used card sorts and image-based activities . 🌍 Culturally Responsive Tip: Encourage students to find their own examples...
