TPACK in Science Lesson

The content covered in the lesson and activity below is information about leaves and its parts. We had the children explore what leaves look like in great detail, and they had the opportunity to learn about the various parts of a leaf. Also, the lesson helps the children learn about leaf identification. The pedagogical knowledge included in the lesson includes knowing the best ways of involving the children in discussions about leaves. Also, it would include being able to talk about the way the leaves look, the parts of the leaves, and how to identify which plant certain leaves come from, in terms that the children will understand. There are two technologies included in the lesson below: the microscope and the leaf identification website we used.
