4. Overarching Goals Participants will: / Increase science content knowledge / Understand the research on How People Learn / Increase understanding of the Cross Cutting Abilities and Big Ideas in science / Connect new learning to classroom instruction and instructional materials / Increase leadership skills and strategies / Be challenged to extend new learning beyond our own classrooms Participants will: / Increase science content knowledge / Understand the research on How People Learn / Increase understanding of the Cross Cutting Abilities and Big Ideas in science / Connect new learning to classroom instruction and instructional materials / Increase leadership skills and strategies / Be challenged to extend new learning beyond our own classrooms

5. Norms / Promoting a Spirit of inquiry / Pausing / Paraphrasing—revoiceing / Probing / Putting ideas on the table / Paying Attention to self and others / Presuming positive intentions / Promoting a Spirit of inquiry / Pausing / Paraphrasing—revoiceing / Probing / Putting ideas on the table / Paying Attention to self and others / Presuming positive intentions

6. What’s the Work for 2012-2013? Two items that we will focus on today 1.Integrate engineering into the classroom 2.What is the engineering component and what does it look like in classroom instruction.

7. Learning Targets I can describe the engineering design process. I can explain two strategies to integrate engineering into my classroom. I can describe and explain ways that I can advocate for science/STEM instruction in my building.

8. Which vehicle is best? Last time....

9. What do you need to know to improve your car? Drew a car---

14. Rolling to a Stop Consider the ideas in Rolling to a Stop and respond to the question. Discuss with a partner. Connections to the balloon cars? Science?

15. What is an engineer? What is engineering? What is their role in technology? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98OQpZPOnko

16. Engineering is the application of science in the design of objects or machines that solve a problem. An engineer is someone who designs something to solve a problem.

17. Are there any types of engineers that you know about? What is it that they do? Types of EngineersWhat do they do? What new things have you learned about engineers?

18. What does Engineering look like for a kid? During the video, think about what Audri is doing that is the same or different from adult engineers. Be prepared to discuss. http://teachscience4all.wordpress.com/2012/ 03/27/audris-rube-goldberg-video http://teachscience4all.wordpress.com/2012/ 03/27/audris-rube-goldberg-video

19. Look at your object from the Mystery Bag. Consider the following: -How do you think engineering played a role in the design of your piece of technology? Look at the DETAILS within its design to help you decide. -What mistakes, flaws, or problems did the object’s DESIGN address? -What types of engineers played a role in the design or production of this piece of technology? How did they play a role?

20. Think of different versions of your object. -How has this object evolved or changed? -What problems or challenges did the changes address? -What do you think engineers had to consider when RE-DESIGNING the object?

21. Take a Break

22. Marshmallow Challenge

23. Engineering Problem-Solving Design Process Engineering Design Process Step Description of Step Ask Identify the problem. Determine design constraints (limitations on materials that can be used.) Consider relevant prior knowledge (science concepts.) Imagine Brainstorm design ideas. Draw and label those ideas. Plan Pick one idea. Draw and label the idea. Identify needed materials or conditions. Create Carry out the plan; create the design. Test the design. Improve Reflect on testing results. Plan for, create, and test a new (improved) design.

25. On an index card please respond to the following: 1.What will you take back and share at your school? 2.Next time—be ready to share the strategy, lesson, instructional practice that you shared at your school and with whom you shared -- formative assessment --What is an engineer? --Marshmallow challenge Sum it up
