Department of Mathematics and Science General information Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS) and Mathematics Florida Standards (MAFS) aligned in District Pacing Guides Achievement Level Descriptors for FCAT 2.0 Science and Biology EOC Next Generation Science Standards – Final version released (adoption process has not started yet) NAEP 2012 – students have problems with providing evidence and reasoning for claims Insights: Benchmark instruction with fidelity and rigor + Students exposed to application of concepts (inquiry, assessments) = Success Department of Mathematics and Science

Department of Mathematics and Science Session Outcomes Participants will be able to: Identify how the Florida Standards are correlated to the Middle School Science Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) and can be used to increase rigor of instruction. Incorporate M-DCPS earth science instructional resources to increase the depth of science teaching and learning. Plan for rigorous instruction using 5E Model Department of Mathematics and Science

Department of Mathematics and Science Introduce the FL Standards- “What should FL Standards look like in a Science Classroom?” Introduce the FL Standards- “Can you use FL Standards in a Science Classroom?” (Sweep the room for open responses) Have participants, in groups, use the question on the slide to generate a free-form map on chart paper. As the session progresses, reference the maps and encourage participants to make adjustments to their maps. Department of Mathematics and Science

Department of Mathematics and Science Today’s Benchmarks SC.6.E.7.1: Differentiate among radiation, conduction, and convection, the three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through Earth's system. SC.6.E.7.2: Investigate and apply how the cycling of water between the atmosphere and hydrosphere has an effect on weather patterns and climate. SC.6.E.7.3: Describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather in measurable terms such as temperature, air pressure, wind direction and speed, and humidity and precipitation. SC.6.E.7.4: Differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere. SC.6.E.7.5: Explain how energy provided by the sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and the temperature differences between air, water, and land. SC.6.E.7.6: Differentiate between weather and climate. Department of Mathematics and Science

Department of Mathematics and Science Microlabs Rounds using FL standards document: (1 minute per question, per person) What are Florida Standards and how are they infused into science instruction? What types of science activities lend themselves to Florida standards infusion? What kind of student product(s) is evidence of Florida standards through science? Florida Standards Review: 1. From the discussion in your micro-labs, brainstorm what activities you see in science classrooms that fulfill the specific Florida standards posted. -Write these activities on yellow sticky notes in your group (one per note) 2. Now brainstorm activities that are not currently seen in science classrooms but that can be done to fulfill the specific Florida standards posted. -Write these activities on pink sticky notes in your group (one per note) Whole Group Reflection: “Which FL standards are addressed more in science instruction than others?” Reference the question from the beginning of the session (“What should FL Standards look like in a Science Classroom?”) and concept maps developed earlier in the session.
