Understand Sample Indicators Illustrate the phases of the Moon and the Moon’s effect on ocean tides. Explain the motions of the Earth and the Moon and the effects of these motions as they orbit the Sun (including day, year, phases of the Moon, eclipses and tides). Summarize the functions of proteins, carbohydrates and fats in the human body South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Apply Carry out or use a procedure in a given situation. 3.1 Executing Carrying out 3.2 Implementing Using 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Apply Apply established rules for significant digits, both in reading scientific instruments and in calculating derived quantities from measurement. Use appropriate tools and instruments (including a microscope) safely and accurately when conducting a controlled scientific investigation. Sample Indicators 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Analyze Break material into its constituent parts and determine how the parts relate to one another and to an overall structure or purpose. 4.1 Differentiating Discriminating Distinguishing Focusing Selecting 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Analyze Sample Indicators Distinguish among observations, predictions and inferences. Organize and interpret the data from a controlled scientific investigation in terms of whether they refute or verify the hypothesis. Attribute global climate patterns to geographic influences (including latitude, topography, elevation, and proximity to water) South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Factual Knowledge Conceptual Knowledge Procedural Knowledge Metacognitive Knowledge 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Factual Knowledge The basic elements students must know to be acquainted with a discipline or solve problems in it. –Knowledge of terminology –Knowledge of specific details and elements 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Conceptual Knowledge The interrelationships among the basic elements within a larger structure that enable them to function together. –Knowledge of classifications and categories –Knowledge of principles and generalizations –Knowledge of theories, models and structures 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Procedural Knowledge How to do something, methods of inquiry and criteria for using skills, algorithms, techniques and methods. –Knowledge of subject-specific skills and algorithms –Knowledge of subject-specific techniques and methods –Knowledge of criteria for determining when to use appropriate procedures 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Metacognitive Knowledge Knowledge of cognition in general as well as awareness and knowledge or one’s own cognition. –Strategic knowledge –Knowledge about cognitive tasks, including appropriate contextual and conditional knowledge –Self-knowledge How did I get that answer? 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Putting All the Pieces Together… 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Objectives are statements of what we want students to learn as a result of the instruction we provide. Standards/indicators are simply mandated objectives South Carolina Science Standards Revision

The Common Format for Objectives SubjectObjectVerb S OV 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

The Subject… is the Learner or the student. SubjectObjectVerb S OV The learner (will) The student (should) 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Example #1 Recognize that different materials can be mixed together and then separated again. SubjectObjectVerb S OV 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Verb = Recognize Object = that different materials can be mixed together and then separated again. SubjectObjectVerb S OV 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Example #2 Summarize the characteristics of a mixture, recognizing a solution as a kind of mixture. SubjectObjectVerb S OV 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision

Verb = Summarize Object = The characteristics of a mixture, recognizing a solution as a kind of mixture. SubjectObjectVerb S OV 2005 South Carolina Science Standards Revision
