= Adopt-A-GSE Challenge 2011 = //"Because GSEs won't chew your furniture."// =The Challenge=

Adopt, nurture, interpret, ponder, and assemble resources for the science GSE of your choice. How?

 * Work individually or in pairs.
 * Stake your claim by navigating to your GSE and adding your names somewhere on the page:

"This GSE has been adopted by Sally A and Bill G "
 * Build our knowledge of the GSE by answering the questions on the GSE's page by:
 * identifying implicit concepts*
 * representing these concepts or subtopics in a concept map*
 * listing prerequisite knowledge that students need*
 * describing likely student difficulties and misconceptions*
 * suggesting phenomena, experiences, and activities that might help students understand
 * providing links to Curriculum Materials Library resources related to your GSE's topics
 * providing links to useful web resources
 * providing links to released NECAP items that address your GSE

=**Why?**=

Why not? The more knowledge we assemble around each GSE, the easier it will be do align the topic addressed in our various courses. Adopting a GSE is the perfect bonding activity for common planning time groups, school learning communities, RITES resource teams, Dana Center workgroups, science departments, and "methods" classes.

=**The Prize**=

Really? Need you ask? Except for adopting GSEs "for the love of the game," groups or individuals that successfully adopt a GSE will be recognized on the RIScienceTeachers "Wall of Fame."
