What does effective science instruction look like? Engage – Question, discussion, activity, uncover ideas (Discovery and PBS Learning) Explore – Lab activities (Essential Lab/hands-on investigations, Gizmos) Explain – Conclusion writing/lab report, C-E-R, discussion, Notebooks/Journals Elaborate – Discussion, real-world connections, CIS Evaluate: formative and summative by benchmark Department of Mathematics and Science

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).

Florida’s CCSS Implementation Plan Full Implementation Grade K Begin Implementation of Literacy Standards in ALL Content Areas for Grades 6-12 Begin Implementation of Rich and Complex Text and Informational Text for Grades K-12 Full Implementation Grades K-1 Full Implementation of Literacy Standards in ALL Content Areas for Grades 6-12 Continue Implementation of Rich and Complex Text and Informational Text for Grades K-12 Full Implementation Grades K-2 Implementation of a Blended Curriculum (CCSS and Supplemental NGSSS Aligned to FCAT 2.0 and EOCs) for Grades 3-12 Continue Implementation of Rich and Complex Text and Informational Text for Grades K-12 Full Implementation Grades K-12 Assessments Aligned to CCSS Phase 1 ( ) Phase 2 ( ) Phase 3 ( ) Phase 4 ( ) 14

The Need: Why Develop the CCSS? Preparation: Prepare students with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in postsecondary endeavors, including the use and application of technology to demonstrate learning Competition: Ensure our students are globally competitive through the emphasis of application, integration, critical thinking, and problem solving Equity: Set consistent expectations for all--and not dependent on a student’s zip code Collaboration: Create a foundation to work collaboratively across states and districts, pooling resources and expertise 15

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 January Department of Mathematics and Science

Activate Prior Knowledge! 19 Hook Question: How do forces affect a baseball? Predictive Written Response to Complex Text-Based Question: How are physics and sports related? Vocabulary Front-Loading Text Marking (Reading #1): – An active reading strategy that helps students focus and isolate essential information in a text, improving their comprehension and retention of reading material. Directed Note-Taking (Reading #2) First draft written response to essential question

Hook Question Curriculum and Instruction How do forces affect a baseball?

Curriculum and Instruction

Vocabulary Front-loading Independently, identify/highlight/underline words that are unfamiliar to you.

Vocabulary Front-loading 24 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 26

Reading 1: Text Marking and Discussion 27 F -this section of text shows a fact based on evidence O - this section of text shows on opinion C – this section of text shows a change in motion caused by a force E – this section of text shows an effect of a force. If students are exposed to close reading regularly, by the time they get to high school they will be better prepared to handle complex texts.

28 E F

Reading 2: Note-Taking & Discussion 29 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.

30 First Draft Written Response to Essential Question: Using evidence from the text, video clip, and class discussion, what forces are important for a baseball player to consider?

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 Fact Opinion Cause Effect 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)

Reading 3: 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. 32 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.
