1 Department of Mathematics and Science Office of Academics and Transformation Ms. Keisha Kidd, CSS Millard Lightburn, Ph.D. Supervisor MDCPS Elementary Science Science Summer Symposium 2013 Grade 4 Day 1

2 Name Tent Use blank sheet of paper to make a name tent Front: First Name Back: School Name and years teaching Share with group something special that happened in your class this year.

3 Guidelines for 2013 Science Summer Symposium Place phones on vibrate. Breaks: am ( 15 min) and pm (15 min) Lunch: 11:15am – 12:15pm Bathrooms location Stipends requirements: 100% attendance for all three days (8:30am-3:30pm)and turn in follow-up. Daily Reflections Follow-up: Prepare 5 E lesson plan Due at the end of the session LOGISTICS

4  Participate actively  Ask questions  Learn by doing  Set your own learning into action NORMS

5 Day One Agenda  Welcome Remarks / Ice Breaker  Pacing Guide-Year at a Glance (Common Core)  Overview of District Website (resources)  Interactive Notebook (IAN) / Science?  Hands on Activity (Practicing Science-Process Skills)  LUNCH  GIZMOS  Formative Assessment – Doing Science  Hands-on Activity (Thinking Like a Scientist) Article: Why Teach the Nature of Science?  Daily Reflections

6 Session Outcomes Participants will be able to: – Access science instructional resources to support science teaching and learning – Identify effective instructional strategies to integrate technology and cross-curricula – Implement best science instructional practices – Plan and model scientific thinking through hands on investigations – Enhance science interaction between students – Provide differentiated instruction in science

FCAT 2.0 will assess content taught in lower grades although not retaught in 5 th.

11 Aligned in Science Aligned in Science Common Core State Standards Aligned in Science Aligned in Science 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 need to be established. Common Core benchmarks are aligned to Science courses in the M-DCPS Pacing Guides

19 Resources: NBC Learn NBC learn formed about 6 years ago; committee came together to compile video archives and create educational platform for education collection of about 15,000 primary sources for engaging/high quality videos for real world connections. Also has original content series Will align resources to our pacing guide Topics aligned to NGSS, Common Core (by grade level and content are)

20 Resources: How to access Once you log on with District access then we access an apps page. Look for the NBC Learn link. No further sign in needed. All students and teachers can access with their own log in. Can be accessed by any computer, mobile device or laptop. No extra program needed to be installed Search: by topic, keyword, grade level, common core standards, etc. Homepage same for teacher and student. Content carousel updated regularly. Newsletters sent out on regular basis.
