- Аннотация: Any introductory science course strives to provide middle schoolers with basic models that will scaffold their future learning in the domain. Researches show that the best way to teach scientific models is to build them together with students. We assume that testing ancient technologies provides a meaningful context to support students’ model-building activity. Our course exploits a text-lab-model unit design to manage students’ learning. First, students learn the main features of a technology from a short essay; then, they plan and carry out simple lab experiments to test how the technology works, and finally, students build a model that helps control the process of interest. Over 250 students (10-11-year-olds) took this 1-year course during the last 5 years. Their learning outcomes were excellent compared with their peers. The approach allows students to feel the sense and learn the meaning of each model built, get a personal experience of model revision and modification, and learn how we as humans gain our knowledge about the world around us. Students practice important literacy skills while reading informational texts, and that provides a robust basis for further learning in science domain.
