INTASC STANDARDS Standard #5: Application of Content The teacher understands how to connect concepts and use differing perspectives to engage learners in critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem solving related to authentic local and global issues. Name of Artifact: Final Project PowerPoint Date: May 2016 Course: EDUC 224: Introduction to Scientific Inquiry

Intasc standards Brief Description: In this assignment, I was required to complete a final project with a group of students. While doing the project we had to ask questions, apply content, and analyze information. Rationale: To document my understanding of INTASC Standard #6: Application of Content, I have selected to include my Final Project PowerPoint, because I was required to work with a group and form a presentation which requires me to analyze information as well as use communication skills.

Questions for future investigating How do emotions distract memory? (amygdala) What music can boost memorization? How do distractions affect ADHD? How do they use these test for brain injuries? When distractions are in the same domain as the memory what affects does this have? How to senses affect memory?
