What’s New? Essential labs now have content related reading passages with questions Quarter 1 K – 4 Essential Labs are posted in the Learning Village Grade 5 Bell Ringers are posted in the Learning Village Grade 5 Topic Assessments Powercast of ICAD 1 http://science.dadeschools.net/powercast.html YAG K-5 http://science.dadeschools.net/powercast.html Department of Science

What Is an Essential Question? An essential question frames a unit of study as a problem to be solved. It should connect students’ lived experiences and interests (their only resources for learning something new) to content related problems in the world. And it should connect what they learn back to the real world, where they can put their new understandings to work. Essential questions can be geared toward uncovering a NGSSS Big Idea. Students can be engaged in a force and motion unit framed by the essential question What is the relationship between force and motion? http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/essential-question

How to Create an Essential Question? Identify the benchmarks in the Big Idea that need to be learned. Determine what the students need to understand about each benchmark. Determine how many Essential Questions you will need: usually 1 or 2 for a lesson Frame your questions in "kid friendly" language. Make them engaging and thought provoking. Try to write essential questions with "how" or "why" instead of "what“ Sequence your questions so they lead naturally from one to another Post these questions in your room as a learning focus for your students Remember: If a question is too specific, or could be answered with a few words or a sentence, they are probably not essential questions Department of Science

Unwrapping a Benchmark Assignments: Group 1: SC.5.P.10.4 Investigate and explain that electrical can be transformed into heat, light, and sound energy, as well as the energy of motion. AA Cognitive Complexity: Level 3 Strategic thinking & Complex Reasoning. Group 2: SC.5.P.10.2 Investigate and explain that energy has the ability to cause motion or create change. Cognitive Complexity: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning Group 3: SC.5.P.10.3 Investigate and explain that an electrically-changed object can attract an uncharged object and can either attract or repel another charged object without any contact between the objects Cognitive Complexity: Level 3 Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning. Group 4: SC.4.P.10.4 Describe how moving water and air are sources of energy and can be used to move things. Cognitive Complexity: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts Group 5: SC.5.P.11.1 Investigate and illustrate the fact that the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit (a complete loop). (assessed as SC.5.p.10.4) Cognitive Complexity: Level 2: Basic Application of Skills &Concepts Group 6: SC.5.P.11.2 Identify and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not. Cognitive Complexity Level 2: Basic Application of Skills & Concepts Participants will unwrap the benchmarks by group. Department of Science

Evaluation Process (Overview) 1. Smart Goal and rating the PD session. 2. Application - a plan for how you will apply what you learned in the PD. 3. Impact – A description of how the PD has impacted your instructional delivery. Follow-up My Learning Plan The MLP evaluation process has three parts that must be completed to receive credit for the Professional Development. In addition to the 3-Part MLP Evaluation, you need to complete the Follow-up Action Plan by sharing the content of the PD with your targeted staff. This documentation needs to be uploaded and submitted through your file library in My Learning Plan.
