9. Your Curriculum Assignment Grade Groups 3-5; 6-8 Find a place in your district curriculum (Physical, Life, Earth Science) you can infuse with Modeling Develop a physical, conceptual(poster), or mathematical(formula, data table) model for a unit or lesson appropriate for your grade level and write down your model plan. Include how your model might become more advanced for student or grade cognitive level.
