Lifelong Learning
Some aspects of science will be encountered repeatedly in a lifetime. This section includes steps for continued learning beyond this course.
Learning Objective: Plan specific activities and tasks to continue learning science into the future.
We repeatedly encounter some science-related topics throughout our lives. Every few years we may battle the flu, every year we may plant a garden, every week we may try to predict the weather. Learning about these topics can enhance everyday experiences.
This video introduces the concept that some aspects of learning comes in cycles through a lifetime
Consider aspects of science and nature that you have already repeatedly encountered.
Think of your own experiences. Which science topics have you already encountered repeatedly? Do you remember what you have learned from one encounter to the next or do you repeatedly look up information?
Predicting and understanding repeatedly encountered topics can be a powerful start to lifelong learning.
You can continue your learning beyond this course with five steps:
Step 1
Continue to access and build on what you know about science.
Step 2
Organize your science knowledge, either by adding to your portfolio, or by creating new ways or organizing your media.
Step 3
Actively fill in gaps in your science knowledge, challenging possible misconceptions.
Step 4
Collect evidence for what you know and when possible, share it with others.
Step 5
Continue planning science learning adventures.
Start Your Media Assignment here
A “bucket list” is slang for experiences or achievements you want to have or complete during your lifetime. This media piece is assembling your own “science bucket list.”
List five science-related experiences or achievements you would like to have in your lifetime. Provide a brief description of each. It could be the life sciences or physical sciences, and your resources are unlimited. Dream big.
This list could go in your final portfolio under different sections, including Science Skills or Biology Connections.
Upload brief descriptions of the five items on your science wish list to Canvas.
Many people plant gardens or maintain agricultural plots. The next section includes steps for developing wildlife gardens.
