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!
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
Upload to Edmodo
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.
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?”
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
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

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.]
The performance expectations above were developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
Disciplinary Core Ideas Crosscutting Concepts
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)

(5-PS1-a)W.5.2 Write informative/explanatory texts to examine a topic and convey ideas and information clearly. (5-PS1-a)SL.5.4 Report on a topic or text or present an opinion, sequencing ideas logically and using appropriate facts and relevant,
descriptive details to support main ideas or themes; speak clearly at an understandable pace. (5-PS1-a)
Mathematics –
Practices in Different DisciplinesMathM1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. M2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. M3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. M4. Model with mathematics. M5. Use appropriate tools strategically. M6. Attend to precision. M7. Look for and make use of structure. M8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
ScienceS1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering). S2. Developing and using models. S3. Planning and carrying out investigations. S4. Analyzing and interpreting data. S5. Using mathematics, information and computer technology, and computational thinking. S6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering). S7. Engaging in argument from evidence. S8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.
English Language ArtsE1. They demonstrate independence.E2. They build strong content knowledge.E3. They respond to the varying demands of audience, task, purpose, and discipline. E4. They comprehend as well as critique. E5. They value evidence. E6. They use technology and digital media strategically and capably. E7. They come to understanding other perspectives and cultures.

Science Teaching and Learning
Traditional InstructionLots of reading and lecture
“Inquiry”Activities, “Hands On,”
Scientific and Engineering PracticesInquiry unpacked
“Inquiry” + Discourse and Sense Making
