Classroom Aquaponics: Exploring Nitrogen Cycling in a Closed System Teacher’s Guide
نویسنده
چکیده
Nutrient cycling is a fundamental concept in ecology and environmental science. However, many students have trouble visualizing how individual nutrients (e.g., nitrogen) cycle through complex natural ecosystems. To address this issue, this unit outlines an inquiry-based approach to investigating nutrient cycling in a simplified desktop ecosystem involving aquaria and hydroponically grown plants.

متن کاملTeacher Wait-Time and Learner Initiation: A Single Case Analysis
The prevailing pattern of classroom interaction is a tripartite exchange structure known as IRF (teacher initiation, student response, teacher follow-up/feedback; Sinclair & Coulthard, 1975). Although it has its own contributions to classroom discourse, it has been criticized on several grounds, particularly for affording minimum learner participation opportunities (Kasper, 2001). An alternativ...
