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

Engage: How are cells different?

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 PARCC Assessments Aligned to CCSS Phase 1 ( ) Phase 2 ( ) Phase 3 ( ) Phase 4 ( ) 17

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 18

Activate Prior Knowledge! 25 Hook Question: How can “Zombie” cells affect society? Predictive Written Response to Complex Text-Based Question: What are some positive and negative consequences of using “Zombie” cell technology? 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 Handout

Vocabulary Front-loading Independently, identify/highlight/underline words that are unfamiliar to you. re·frac·to·ry (r-frkt-r) adj. 1. Obstinately resistant to authority or control. See Synonyms at unruly. 2. Difficult to melt or work; resistant to heat: a refractory material such as silica.

Vocabulary Front-loading 30 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 31

Close Read Article this section of text shows a positive impact of the Cell Technology on society or the individual – - this section of text shows a negative impact of the Cell Technology on society or the individual P – this section of text shows a problem S – this section of text shows a solution

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

Directed Note-Taking with video First Draft Written Response to Essential Question Using evidence from the text, why is it important to consider positive and negative impacts on society and/or individuals, when using Nano cell technology? 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.

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 conducting Nano Cell Technology? How does scientific research impact society? 37
