Frameworks Book Study Course

Elluminate Webinar – March 21, 2013

Outcomes:- Discuss final course project: questions, concerns,

ideas- Review “how to read” the NGSS documents, in

preparation for the final release next week!

Page 2: Frameworks Book Study Course

Upcoming Weeks…

• Week 8: Mar 21 - Mar 27 – watch Stephen Pruitt webinar, review resources from wiki

• SKIP Mar 28 - Apr 10 for SPRING BREAK – read NGSS standards after release?

• Week 9: Apr 11 - Apr 17 – Read Chapter 10 – Implementation; two short articles. Post the DCI, CCC, and SE Practice(s) chosen for your videotaped lesson

• Weeks 10 and 11: Apr 18 - May 1 – work on your videotape/paper/share out; upload your lesson plan and paper to Edmodo by May 1

Page 3: Frameworks Book Study Course

Upload to Edmodo

Page 4: Frameworks Book Study Course

Final Project:

• Videotape a science lesson, where you have chosen a DCI area and incorporated one or more of the Practices.

• Write an explanation (1-2 pages) of which DCI you focused on and how the practices where incorporated, what you did in the lesson to use the practices effectively, the student outcomes you witnessed, and reflect on what you have learned (and would carry with you into curriculum writing/instructing new standards).

• Be prepared to share out snippets of your video, and overall reflections from your paper – in small group at our final meeting.

Page 5: Frameworks Book Study Course

Some project questions…

• Can you do co-teaching?

• Can you do a mathematics focused lesson?

• Does the DCI chosen have to be what is currently being taught in science class?

• What are the videos, lesson plans, and papers being used for?

• What do we need to do for the final meeting “share out?”

Page 6: Frameworks Book Study Course

Final Meeting

May 2: Face to Face meeting

(4:30-6:30pm, Ilchester ES - Media Center)

Each participant will have 5-6 min. to share:

• Break out into primary/intermediate

• Share snippets of your video

• Discuss overall reflection/findings

Page 7: Frameworks Book Study Course

NGSS – Almost here!

• We are still being told “by the end of March”…but we were also reminded that March has 31 days!

• As soon as I get the news of release, I will email you links to all the resources and information!

• So in order to prepare you for that document, let’s talk a little about the NGSS layout and components…

Key Points

This isn’t going to be easy It’s worth doing When doing PD on NGSS, start with the

Scientific and Engineering Practices When reading NGSS, start with the

Disciplinary Core Ideas There are still a lot of decisions to make It’s going to take time

 PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter • Different kinds of matter exist (e.g.,

wood, metal, water) and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. (K-PS1-a),(K-PS1-b)

• Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties (e.g., visual, aural, textural), by its uses, and by whether it occurs naturally or is manufactured. (K-PS1-a),(K-PS1-c)

 Patterns • Patterns in the natural and

human designed world can be observed, used to describe phenomena and used as evidence. (K-PS1-a),(K-PS1-c)

Note: Performance expectations combine practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts into a single statement of what is to be assessed. They are not instructional strategies or objectives for a lesson.

their observable properties and classify the materials based on the patterns observed. [Clarification Statement: Observations are qualitative only and could include relative length, weight, color, texture, and hardness. Patterns include the similar properties that different materials share.]

5-PS1 Matter and Its Interactions Students who demonstrate understanding can: 5-PS1-a. Argue from evidence to support the theory that matter is made of particles too

small to be seen. [Clarification Statement: Examples of evidence could include adding air to a basketball, compressing air in a syringe, or moving air on a piece of paper.]

 Engaging in Argument from Evidence Engaging in argument from evidence in 3–5 builds from K–2 experiences and progresses to critiquing the scientific explanations or solutions proposed by peers by citing relevant evidence about the natural and designed world. • Construct and/or support scientific

arguments with evidence, data, and/or a model. (5-PS1-a)

 

 PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter • Matter of any type can be subdivided into

particles that are too small to see, but even then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means (e.g., by weighing or by its effects on other objects). For example, a model showing that gases are made from matter particles that are too small to see and are moving freely around in space can explain many observations, including the inflation and shape of a balloon; the effects of air on larger particles or objects (e.g., leaves in wind, dust suspended in air); and the appearance of visible scale water droplets in condensation, fog, and, by extension, also in clouds or the contrails of a jet. (5-PS1-a)

 Energy and Matter • Matter is made of

particles. (5-PS1-a)
