Picture Perfect Science
July 22-23, 2013
Before we begin, please: • place a sticky dot on each poster to represent
your familiarity with: - the 5Es - Reading Strategies
What was your favorite book as a child?
We believe in books. Somehow we want to make
childhood better, and we believe that a book given at the right moment can work
magic in a child's life.
-Ann Schlee
Agenda
Why Use Children’s Literature? Components of PPS
Participate in a Model Lesson PPS Class Pack Exploration
Reflection & Next Steps
First Things First
Common Core
Next Generation Science
Why Use Children’s Literature?
• Lack of Time - Integration is Key
• Context for Concepts
Earth & Space Sciences: Describe how day and night are caused by Earth’s rotation.
Why Use Children’s Literature?
• Improved Reading and Science Skills• Engaging to Students of All Ages
Why Use Children’s Literature?
• More Depth of Coverage
“More Books to Read” section available at the end of each lesson.
Cautions
• Story line may distract –stay focused on the science content• Be aware of “watered-down” science content• Be aware of misconceptions
Suggestions
• Choose science objectives first• Collaborate with a knowledgeable colleague • Choose a variety of books, including fiction/nonfiction pairs
The King has a problem. He wants to give the Queen a
bed for her birthday, but no one knows the answer to the question “How big is a bed?”
Colorful cartoons and easy-to-follow text introduce the
history of measurement, from the ancient Egyptian system
to the metric system.
Skitty is a dog with “magnetic” qualities. She doesn’t attract metal, like
keys and spoons. She attracts food.
This book explains what magnets do, magnetic and
nonmagnetic materials, and uses of magnets.
Why Read Aloud in Science?
• Opportunity to model the strategies of proficient readers
• Students’ minds are free to explore the meaning of difficult science concepts when the teacher does the decoding
• Fine-tunes students’ observational/listening skills
Why Read Aloud in Science?
• Being read to is the most influential activity for building the knowledge required for eventual success in reading (Anderson, Heibert, Scott, and Wilkinson 1985).

What is Inquiry?
INQUIRY OUT…Practices In
ELA Capacities Mathematical Practices Scientific and Engineering Practices
Demonstrate independence Make sense of problems and persevere in solving
them
Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for
engineering)Build strong content
knowledgeReason abstractly and
quantitativelyDeveloping and using models
Respond to the varying demands of audience, task,
purpose, and discipline
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning
of others
Planning and carrying out investigations
Comprehend as well as critique
Model with mathematics Analyzing and interpreting data
Value evidence Use appropriate tools strategically
Using mathematics, information and computer technology, and
computational thinking
Use technology and digital media strategically and
capably
Attend to precision Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions
(for engineering)Come to understand other perspectives and cultures
Look for and make use of structure
Engaging in argument from evidence
Look for and express regularity in repeated
reasoning
Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
