1. CCRS Science http://alex.state.al.us/ccrs/http://margietyner.net

2. Outcomes Locate the Framework for K-12 Science Education. Literacy – Explain how science, math and language arts are connected (Activity). Grade level collaboration – identify interconnections among science, math, and language arts using the CCRS.

3. Understanding the Framework

5. Framework Recommendations provides a coherent vision which includes: Limited number of core ideas at a time Depth not breadth Learners involved in practices: Develop Use Refine 5

6. A Few Principles of The Framework  Children are born investigators  Connect to students’ prior experience  Focus on core ideas and practices

7. Disciplinary Core Ideas Physical Science PS1: Matter and its Interactions PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions PS3: Energy PS4: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science ETS1: Engineering Design ETS2: Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society

8. 8 Question: Can you light up a bulb using batteries and some aluminum foil? Make a plan: Write it down. Test your plan: Did it work? No… try again. Yes… 1.Talk about the results. 2.Have one person in the group write about the procedure used.

9. Children work together… Ask questions and define problems Develop and use models Plan and carry out investigations Analyze and interpret data Use mathematical and computational thinking Science & Engineering Practices

10. Look at Connections Handout - Commonalities Among the Practices: Science, Mathematics, and English Language Arts Describe how electrical circuits are used to produce light. ScienceMath ELA Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units. Explain events in scientific text. Add, subtract or multiply watts and/or volts. Identify the main ideas in nonfiction article about energy. Use batteries, small lights, and other materials to determine which items conduct energy. Write directions to light a bulb with foil and batteries.

11. Examples: Energy Related Homework Read the home gas or electric meter everyday for a week. Calculate usage and compare with classmates. Identify the variables that impact usage. Make a floor plan of lights in the house. Write the number of lights in each room. Calculate the wattage if all the lights are: 40 watts 60 watts 11

12. Collaboration/Plan Together Choose one reading unit. Locate a science standard to correlate. Determine a math standard to correlate. Make a Venn Diagram with the CCRS shown in each section. 12
