7 "Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” - Benjamin Franklin

8 What Should a Science Classroom Look Like? Students asking questions Students doing hands-on activities (inquiry) Students thinking and writing critically Infusion of literacy and math (LAFS & MAFS) Incorporation of Technology Students’ science work displayed Most importantly: Students doing science & communicating the outcomes in all grades (K-5)!

9 Good Science Instruction Review the Year at Glance. What is the purpose of the topic? Know your targeted benchmark and specific objectives….

10 Unwrapping a Benchmark 1.Select the benchmark. 2.Circle the VERBS (action words) They represent the skills, what students need to do. 3.Underline the important NOUNS (a person, place, or thing ). They represent the concepts students need to know. 4.Create a graphic organizer (bulleted list, outline, concept map, T-chart, etc.) to organize the concepts and skills. Division of Academics - Department of Science

11 Unwrapping the Benchmark Big Idea 10: Forms of Energy Grade 5 Topic 8 SC.5.P.10.1 Investigate and describe some basic forms of energy, including light, heat, sound, electrical, chemical, and mechanical. (Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts) SC.5.P.10.2 Investigate and explain that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change. (Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning ) Department of Mathematics and Science Verbs: (skills) Nouns: (concepts)

12 Unwrapping the Benchmark Big Idea 10: Forms of Energy Grade 5 Topic 9 SC.5.P.10.3 Investigate and explain that electrical energy can be transformed into heat, light, and sound energy, as well as the energy of motion. SC.5.P.10.4 Investigate and explain that an electrically-charged object can attract an uncharged object and can either attract or repel another charged object without any contact between the objects. Cognitive Complexity: LEVEL Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning Department of Mathematics and Science Verbs: (skills) Nouns: (concepts)

13 Unwrapping the Benchmark Big Idea 11 Grade 5 Topic 9 SC.5.P.11.1 Investigate and illustrate the fact that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit (a complete loop). SC.5.P.11.2 Identify and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not. Cognitive Complexity: LEVEL Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts Department of Mathematics and Science Verbs: (skills) Nouns: (concepts)

14 Let’s Look again at Grade 5 Pacing Guide Topic 1.What is the essential content listed? 2.How does it compare to and support the nouns (concepts) identified in the unwrapping? 3.Are the verbs identified in the unwrapping in the objectives? 4.How are the verbs (skills) supported? 5.How do the content and skills compare to what is listed in the Item Specifications? 6.What tools and units will be used? 7.What objectives will demonstrate mastery of the concepts? (performance skills ) 8.What vocabulary needs to be understood to master the concepts? Division of Academics - Department of Science

15 Good Science Instruction: Develop Critical Thinking Skills Develop Essential Questions and other Higher-Order Thinking questions using explicit-reflective instruction to enhance student thinking that includes the teacher identifying the Level of Complexity and students: - Asking questions about topic being taught - Learning to make systematic observations and inferences in order to formulate answers based on evidence and reasoning (Conclusion) - Applying models to formulate solutions to questions - Communicating both verbally and in writing

16 What are Questions for these Grade 5 Benchmarks? Which are Essential? Benchmark Level of Complexity: Questions: Division of Academics - Department of Science

17 Where can materials/resources be found to provide instructional support? Pacing Guide Topic 8: Supplemental Resources page Discovery page NBC Learn page Plus on the Department of Science website Division of Academics - Department of Science

Access Codes are no longer needed The District-Wide Code (all schools) is 542470 Use the web browser: Chrome Teachers can register quickly at this link: https://www.pearsonsuccessnet.com Then select "Register Here" Under TEACHERS click REGISTER Click ENTER SCHOOL CODE : 542470 (same for all schools) & school ZIP CODE

22 Five ’s Instructional Strategy The Five E Model is one way to prioritize student involvement in their own learning (both in terms of physical activity and active construction of understandings) This Five E’s learning model suggests the design and implementation of lessons to activate prior knowledge, shape the formation of new knowledge, and provide opportunities to use the new knowledge.

25 Interactive Notebooks / Writing in Science = Building Understanding of Science Department of Mathematics and Science

26 Organization of Individual Pages These features allow students to organize their work and more efficiently access learning from prior activities or lessons. They also assist the teachers in assessing student understanding. Common organizational features include: *Date each page *Number on each page *Headings Focus questions *Activity title Pockets *Connects to the Table of Contents www.sciencenotebooks.org

30 Corrective Feedback Provide feedback that guides students to think about the content of their work, and gives suggestions for how to improve. For example: Use the science vocabulary to support your work. Can you tell me why you think that? (evidence) Why do you think that happened? (reasoning) Provide time for students to read the feedback and revise their responses.
