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).

Example: How does water move?
Claim –What moves in a series of steps that repeat. Radiation from the sun heats water and causes it to move from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere. Clouds form when this water vapor cools. Precipitation allows water to return to the hydrosphere to continue the cycle again. Evidence –In the Essential lab the hotplate heated the ice to turn in into liquid. When all the ice melted, the water began to move to the air. Some of the vapor hit the cooler glass and formed little droplets of water. These droplets then fell back into the water when they got big enough. Reasoning – Water moves in a continuous cycle from the hydrosphere to the atmosphere. Atmospheric air has different temperatures due to uneven heating from the sun, which affect the movement of water in air. Gravity can pull the water vapor down if enough of the water vapor comes together. This water then becomes part of the hydrosphere again and the process continues.

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 Grades K-1 Full Implementation of Literacy Standards in ALL Content Areas for Continue Implementation of Rich and Complex Text and Informational Text for Grades K-12 Grades K-2 Implementation of a Blended Curriculum (CCSS and Supplemental NGSSS Aligned to FCAT 2.0 and EOCs) for Grades 3-12 Grades K-12 PARCC Assessments Aligned to CCSS Phase 1 ( ) Phase 2 ( ) Phase 3 ( ) Phase 4 ( ) TAKE OUT OF DAY 1, USE DAY 2. As we enter Phase 2 of Florida’s CCSS Implementation Plan, it is important to review where we have been and where we are going.

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 Until recently, every state has its own set of academic standards, meaning public education students in each state were learning different content and held to different standards. All students must be prepared to compete with not only their American peers in the next state, but with students from around the world Today’s jobs require different skills. Why do students drop out of school? 66% of a typical freshman cohort graduates from high school unprepared to enter college. (John M. Bridgeland, John J. DiIulio, Jr., Karen Burke Morison, The Silent Epidemic Perspectives of High School Dropouts , A Report by Civic Enterprises, LLC) In 2005 Gates Foundation Report, 81% of students who dropped out said that “more real world learning” may have influenced them to stay in school.” (Bridgeland, J., et al, The Silent Epidemic, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 2005) 88% had passing grades, with 62 percent having Cs and above 58% dropped out with just two years or less to complete high school 66% would have worked harder if expectations were higher 70% were confident they could have graduated 81% recognized graduating was vital to their success

Current Statistics http://www.achieve.org/Florida
Florida’s achievement gaps begin in the earliest grades and extend through college enrollment and admissions. Far too many students drop out or graduate from high school unprepared for success, closing doors and limiting their options and opportunities – in particular minority and low-income students. Source: The Silent Epidemic, 2006 66% of a typical freshman cohort graduates from high school unprepared to enter college. (John M. Bridgeland, John J.

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 2013 Department of Mathematics and Science

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: How does water move through the water cycle? Activate prior knowledge on the Comprehension Instructional Sequence (CIS). Step #1 and Reading #1 1) Hook Question: Teacher asks hook question to launch opening discussion, reads aloud to students while students mark text, students read the text and participate in directed note-taking. Purpose: To bring world relevance to text reading, establish a purpose for reading, model fluent reading, provide opportunities for students to become interactive with the text, and think critically about information in the text. 2) Predictive Written Response: 3) Vocabulary Front-loading: Direct students to locate words introduced in the text by paragraph number. 4) Text-marking A – this section of text shows an adaptation L – this section of text shows a link in the sequence for the evolution of the adaptation H – this section of text shows a scientific hypothesis Model for students by reading the text aloud and coding a portion of the text. Students follow along and mark their copy. Students proceed to code the rest of the text independently. Students share text markings with table group or partner. Directed Note-Taking and Reading #2 Record notes containing the most important information relevant to the guiding question

Human Impact on Water Cycle
Definition of Infrastructure (n): Physical organization structures in a city to allow for the entire city to function as a system.

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. Teacher models re-reading a portion of the text and generates one or two questions. Students continue to review/scan the text and use their recorded notes to generate questions about information in the text collaboratively or independently. To conclude question generation, the teacher has students: share their questions with the related category whole class and discuss which questions they have in common, and which questions are most relevant or significant to their learning. record/post common and relevant/significant questions to encourage: extended efferent text discussion students to seek/locate answers in text-reading throughout the remainder of the chapter/unit focusing on unanswered questions in collaborative inquiry. 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 how can society affect the way water moves to avoid negative impact on the environment?
