1. Reflection/Metacognition
When providing opportunities for metacognitive work when teaching the process of science, consider the following:
Revisit opportunities throughout course or activity to discuss, write reflections, evaluate peer work or self-evaluate
Have students present work to others - free students of laboratory format and allow to choose style of presentation
or use programs such as Illuminate – share work online in synchronous chat rooms or VNOS A,B,C
Teach POS as an embedded part of curriculum
Use visual images of natural places for imaginative work, such as: to focus on analogies or take on perspective of what events occurred, or for the purpose of identifying an emotional response to engage students on a personal level
