Introducing students to the discipline they’ll study
Students can start studying ideas in science, math, social studies, etc., without really knowing about the disciplines that underlie these subjects. One way to start the school year is to do an activity that introduces students to these discipline(s), helps them understand the different branches of inquiry that advance knowledge in the discipline(s), and how these areas of study relate to their everyday lives. The links below provide an example from Chemistry (a PPT and a lesson guide), but these resources could be adapted to any subject.
