Conclusion Writing Claim-Evidence-Reasoning Students should support their own written claims with appropriate justification. Science education should help prepare students for this complex inquiry practice where students seek and provide evidence and reasons for ideas or claims (Driver, Newton and Osborne, 2000).

Common Core State Standards Connections  Currently we continue to use the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS); however, during teaching and learning, whenever applicable, connections to Common Core State Standards in Language Arts and Mathematics are established.  Common Core benchmarks are aligned to Science courses in the M-DCPS Pacing Guides Department of Mathematics and Science

Common Core Benchmarks in the Science Curriculum

LACC.68.RST.1.3: Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks. LACC.68.RST.2.4: Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6–8 texts and topics. LACC.68.RST.3.7: Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model, graph, or table). LACC.68.RST.4.10: By the end of grade 8, read and comprehend science/technical texts in the grades 6–8 text complexity band independently and proficiently. LACC.68.WHST.3.9: Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis reflection, and research. Department of Mathematics and Science

Vocabulary Front-loading Vocabulary Instruction Direct students to locate words introduced in the text by paragraph number. Model for students how to derive word meaning(s) from word parts (prefix, root, suffix) and/or context. Record meanings of word parts and words on word wall, journal, etc.

Vocabulary Front-loading Para- gragh # Academic or Discippline Specific Vocabulary Word part or context Para- gragh # Academic or Discipline Specific Vocabulary Word part or context 1 Surfactant: a chemical that brings two things together Context6Mesh: netContext 1 Sieve: my mom uses a sieve to separate flour when baking - - it is a mesh-like device Word part 6 Repels: resist or keep off (one of the chemicals loves water, the other repels oil) Context

Directed Note-Taking Guiding Question: Using evidence from the text and video clip, What are some positive and negative consequences of using physical properties of this filter to solve real world problems?

Text Marking + -this section of text shows a positive impact on society or the individual – - this section of text shows a negative impact on society or the individual P – this section of text shows a problem S – this section of text shows a solution P S + -

Directed Note-Taking 33 Present a guiding question to direct student thinking while taking notes. Teacher models note-taking with some examples from the text, and selects the category or categories that the statement supports. Students complete note-taking collaboratively or independently. Handout Guiding Question: Using evidence from the text and video clip, What are some positive and negative consequences of using physical properties of this filter to solve real world problems? Paragraph #/ Source Note + impact on society or individual - impact on society or individual ProblemSolution 1 Once blended, oil and water become tough to pull apart XX 1 Using a chemical called a surfactant as a new type of sieve XX video film indicated that beeswax makes lip gloss more solid XX videofilm indicated that shea butter and castor oil make lip gloss smooth and shiny XX

Directed Note-Taking with video First Draft Written Response to Essential Question Using evidence from the text and video, why is it important to consider the positive and negative impacts on society/individuals, when using physical properties to solve a real world problem? 34 Handout

In small groups, take positions and discuss which factor is most significant/impactful (based on the text), and come to consensus. Group Consensus Individual Vote #1 Individual Vote #2 Positive Impact Negative Impact Problem Solution 1)Count number of groups that selected each category. 2)Count number of individuals that selected each category. 3) After hearing discussion and text-based evidence, did you change your mind? New independent vote! (Modification - Four Corners)

Question Generation Purpose: To provide students with a demonstration of question generation and the opportunity for them to interact with the text by generating questions to further deepen their comprehension. 36 Generate questions unanswered from your first text reading. Record your questions on your Student Question Generation paper as you work in pairs or small groups. In your groups, select one question and place on grid at front of room in appropriate category. Question Generation: How using chemicals to solve a real world problem Paragraph #/ Source Note + impact on society or individual - impact on society or individual ProblemSolution 1 Will the surfactant chemical be harmful if used to clean up oil spills in the ocean? XX 2 Will using the surfactant chemical to clean water treatment plants be harmful to humans or any other living things? XX 2 What will be the cost for using the surfactant chemical for large disasters? XX 4How much can we save by using less energy than other filters? XX

Final Response After Rereading and Extended Text Discussion Purpose: To provide opportunities for students to interact with the text and with their peers to: – identify text information most significant to the final/essential question. – facilitate complex thinking and deep comprehension of text. After the final discussion, answer the following question on your handout: According to the text and extended text discussion, which factor is most likely the primary concern for scientists when using physical properties to solve real-world problems? How does scientific research impact society? 37 Department of Mathematics and Science
