Knowledge Integration (SIGNIFICANCE Dimension)

'Knowledge Integration'. Video Snippet of 'Baamboozle' Interactive Game (Lesson 3)

This video snippet shows students working in two teams during a Baamboozle interactive game focused on energy efficiency calculations. Students used calculators to solve efficiency problems, applied the efficiency formula displayed on the board, and selected answers collaboratively within their teams. The activity required students to activate on both scientific knowledge of energy efficiency and mathematical skills including division, percentages and numerical reasoning. The competitive team structure encouraged student discussion, peer support and shared problem-solving. The visual display of the formula supported students to connect abstract mathematical operations with the scientific concept being explored.

Video snippet: students selecting household appliances within a $5000 budget based on energy efficiency and cost. The task demonstrates real-world problem-solving using both scientific reasoning and mathematical budgeting while Integrating knowledge in Math and Science. 

Video Snippet and images of Energy-Efficient House Equipment Task (Lesson 3)

This video shows students working in teams to equip a house using a fixed budget of $5000 while selecting appliances based on energy efficiency and cost. Students were required to collaboratively compare items, calculate total spending, and justify their purchasing decisions. The task required simultaneous use of scientific reasoning (energy efficiency, useful vs wasted energy) and mathematical thinking (budgeting, addition, division, and percentage comparisons). The evidence demonstrates students applying learning in a realistic decision-making context, where no single correct answer existed. This task created strong opportunities for integrated thinking, justification and problem-solving within a real-world scenario.
