Answer to Question 1

The response should include a specific grade level and a specific topic to be taught at that level. It should describe how that topic might be taught using discovery or inquiry learning in sufficiently concrete terms that you have a fairly good idea of what would occur during the lesson. Although students' responses are apt to vary considerably, their approaches should incorporate at least three of the following ideas:
 Students have the knowledge they need to interpret their findings appropriately.
 The teacher provides some structure to guide students' discovery activities.
 Puzzling results arouse students' curiosity or in some other way motivate students.
 The activity is sufficiently structured that students can proceed logically to the desired discoveries.
 Students record their findings.
 Students are encouraged to relate their findings to academic concepts and principles.

Answer to Question 2

The response should identify the specific topic to be taught and then describe four concrete strategies that reflect at least three of the following elements:
 An advance organizer
 Connections to students' prior knowledge
 Analogies
 Assessment of existing misconceptions
 A coherent organization
 Signals about what's important
 Visual aids
 Appropriate pacing
 A summary at the end

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
