    This document describes a lesson plan that uses the online collaboration site Bugscope to teach 7th grade life science standards. Students would collect specimens around the school and send them to scientists at Bugscope to examine under a scanning electron microscope. Over several days, students would research their specimens, video chat with scientists to view their specimens up close and ask questions. This allows students to collaborate with scientists, produce original work by collecting specimens, and develop higher-order thinking about comparing living organisms scientifically. The lesson incorporates technology, collaboration, and hands-on student engagement.

    Lesson Idea Name: Bugscope


    Content Area: Life Science
    Grade Level(s): 7th Grade
    Content Standard Addressed: S7L1
    S7L1. Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information to investigate the diversity of living organisms and
    how they can be compared scientifically.

    Technology Standard Addressed: ISTE-S 7.b.


    7.b. Students use digital tools to broaden their perspectives and enrich their learning by collaborating with
    others and working effectively in learns locally and globally. Students use collaborative technologies to work
    with others, including peers, experts or community members , to examine issues and problems from multiple
    viewpoints.

    Selected Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity: Bugscope

    Describe how you would incorporate an Online Project/Collaboration Site/Publishing Opportunity in your
    classroom. I would use bugscope as an reinforcement lesson into the investigation of diversity of living
    organisms and how they can be compared scientifically.

    What technologies would be required to implement this proposed learning activity in a classroom?
    A connection to the internet and a computer with a projector.
    Describe how the following features are addressed in this learning experience (note: all of them may not be
    addressed in the project, but most should be if you are reaching a high LoTi Level).
    a. Collaboration with peers, near-peers, mentors outside their classroom and often beyond their
    school: The students will collaborate with each other to figure out which specimens to send and
    collaborate with the scientists from the University of Illinois.

    b. Student-centered learning and knowledge creation (creating original data and or producing original
    products as a result of engaging in a project): The students will be the ones collecting and deciding on
    specimens to send to the lab for a closer look.

    c. Higher-order thinking: By getting an opportunity to view these specimens under the (SEM) students
    will have a greater insight into how these organisms can be compared scientifically.

    d. Students publishing their original work to others who will use/care about their product: The
    specimens that the students collect from the specimens are available to view on Bugscope for future
    users.

    ☐ Level 5: Expansion ☐ Level 6: Refinement

    Universal Design for Learning (UDL): Partner work or groups with students who need assistance and those
    who are proficient. Every student is given an assigned task such as writing down what they observe of their
    specimen.

    Engagement: This assignment is very student engaging in the way that the teacher just sends off the
    specimens. The students have the opportunity to control the microscope, ask questions to the scientists, and
    choose what specimen to send.

    Representation: The students will be represented by the specimens they choose that will show the location
    they are from.

    Action and Expression: This activity provides students with the hands-on activity of looking for specimens to
    send to the lab for further exploration through the microscope.
    Lesson idea implementation and Internet Safety Policies:
    This lesson will be the introductory lesson to comparing different species and eventually being able to classify
    them into different kingdoms. Students will have one day to explore outside to find specimens/bugs to be
    sent to the scientist of Bugscope. Once they are sent to them, the scientists prepare the specimens, and
    schedule a time to video chat with the students. During this interaction the students will be allowed to
    control the microscope to look at the specimens they collected and ask questions to the scientists. It will take
    approximately 4 days to complete. One day to collect the specimens and decide on which ones to send to the
    lab. The second day to do the research to gather information on the specimens the students collected and
    formulate informed questions about them. Another day for the video chat with scientists, and the last day will
    be to summarize what they have learned during the process.

    Teachers need to monitor students and themselves to not disclose any personal information while connected
    via chat to the scientists. Teacher's must also closely manage the students' use of the internet and track the
    content that their students are viewing or sharing while researching their specimen on their own. Internet
    safety and student privacy is crucial and must have the proper documents signed for the students to
    participate.

    Reflective Practice: This lesson can be very beneficial to the students. At the beginning of the year it is good
    to establish that anyone can be a scientist. By researching their specimen before the meeting with the
    scientists the students will have a better concept of what they are looking at to identify parts to help compare
    them scientifically.
