Students use these for learning science.
They include: conceptual tools, cultural tools, and special needs and talents.
Science Toolkits
This guides student inquiry and the entire lesson. You introduce it at the beginning and close the lesson with it.
Driving Question
These are national standards that include 3-dimensional learning (science practices, crosscutting concepts, and 4 domain ideas of science) .
Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)
A student references a movie to make a connection to the lesson.
During a science talk, a student mentions a famous dish his/her family makes and it reminds him of the content you are learning about.
Another makes a connection between their home language and the new science vocabulary word.
These are examples of ....
Funds of knowledge
Your Assessments (formative and summative) should ALIGN with the lesson's _________ _______.
Learning Goals
This is a cultural tool that is used as a source of knowledge that students bring into the classroom. Students use it to make connections to new ideas and concepts in school. It includes family knowledge, community knowledge, pop culture, peer activities, talents, and interests.
Funds of Knowledge
These include KNOWINGS (what students will know) and DOINGS (what students will be able to do) at the end of the lesson.
Knowing: Students will know that energy is transferred, and never created or destroyed.
Doing: Students will be able to model an energy transfer using a battery and a lightbulb.
Learning Goals
This branch of science involves an application, creating and designing models and solutions for problems.
Engineering
All students have strengths, talents, and something valuable to bring to the classroom community.
True or False?
TRUE.
These include teacher-guides, textbooks, online lessons, lesson-booklets, etc.
Curriculum materials
This framework is used to teach scientists' science and involves providing experiences with phenomena and finding many patterns prior to providing explanations, models or theories.
EPE Triangle (experiences, patterns, and explanations)
These are important for hallmarking how students will use language throughout the lesson.
Ex: Students will write 3 complete sentences to explain how shadows are made. Students will verbally explain to a partner their reasoning.
Language Goals
TRUE or FALSE, hands-on activities are automatically considered scientists' science because they are engaging.
False.
What are standards (state and national)?
Why do we use them?
Open-ended.
Provide an example of a cross-cutting concept.
Patterns, cause, and effect, conducting an investigation etc
These are used to teach science. They are put into practice and remind us that teaching and learning science is more than just fact memorization.
They include: asking questions, carrying out investigations, analyzing data, developing models, constructing explanations, engaging in arguments, and communicating information.
Scientific practices.
This set-up helps you organize your lesson to fit scientists' science and includes patterns.
EPE table
Provide two examples of scientific practices.
asking questions, carrying out investigations, analyzing data, developing models, constructing explanations, engaging in arguments, and communicating information
What is scientists' science?
Open-Ended
We use it as an approach to teaching science in our classrooms because it is driven by inquiry and experiences. This is how scientists work in their field. They first explore and have many experiences with phenomena and THEN they come up with explanations and or design theories.
How would you modify a lesson plan in a curriculum that starts with explanations (definitions and videos ) to fit scientists' science?
Move them to the second half or end of the lesson.
This framework is used as a guide to plan and execute science lessons that are driven by inquiry and include exploration, investigation, explaining, application and reflection.
I-AIM Model (Inquiry Application Instructional Model)
Provide three examples of cross-cutting concepts
asking questions, carrying out investigations, analyzing data, developing models, constructing explanations, engaging in arguments, and communicating information
What is the difference between traditional school science and scientists' science?
Open-ended.
Your lesson should include a _______ assessment and a ______ assessment.
Provide an example of each.
formative & summative
