Procedure for Concept Conceptualization and Generalization

Activity Overview/ Objective

Ideas that people have that don't coincide accurately with the intended concept. Students' developmental abilities should be taken into account when determining accuracy.

Materials - The supplies needed to do the activities.

Exploration Procedure - student's attention focuses on the selected ideas so what they understand about it is made known to them and the teacher as well as any limitations their understanding may have (disequilibrated).

Invention Procedure - observationally based information is provided to construct any necessary concepts for students to reach equilibrium and scientific understandings. Communication of science understandings, application, and testing of the limits.

Discovery Activity - When students gain additional information or knowledge about the concepts, apply them concept, or use it in a different situation. The discovery activity many times is the beginning of another exploration and invention activity.
