Integrating Literacy Into Inquiry-Based Science Programs
(FOSS Emphasis)
A Quick Share
Jan LantingFOSS Consultant17 years in the classroom4 years as District [email protected]
My Goals for You
See how the Learning Cycle E model is woven into FOSS lessons/investigations
Understand how literacy strategies support FOSS investigations
Strategies for observing and evaluating science lessons in the elementary classroom
Thought Swap
Why integrate science and literacy in your classroom?
Why integrate science and literacy?
Reading and writing best reside in a content area
Reading and writing are authentic to inquiry science
Congested curriculum: finding time in the day for science
Evidence of mutual benefit
Proven benefits for English as A Second Language Learners
What’s the Best Way to Learn About FOSS?
Experience it!

Kit Inventory
Interactive Word Wall
Kit Inventory BasicsFrom Dr. Olga Amaral
Unpack the kit (literally), identify an object
Place a word card on the wall for the object
Add the kit object in a Ziploc baggie next to the word
card
Do this for each item in the kit
Take the object down when you need it
More How To’s
PredictingPull out one item at a time. Students predict how the item might be used.
ClassifyingItems are distributed.Items are grouped by students into categories.
Usage
Properties
Kit Inventory Process Questions
The teacher asks the following questions:What is it?
Teacher or student look at an object from the kit.
What is it used for?
Where have you seen this before?
Why is it in our science kit?
What does it feel, look, smell like?
Your Interactive Science Word Wall
Select words from each module that address the big ideas.
Use the word bank to guide you.
Discuss the words with your students.
Write the words on tag board, strips of paper large enough to see from the other side of the room.
Display on the word wall.
Add picture or object in baggie next to word.

Explore
Provide hands-on, concrete experiences to formally construct a concept, process or skill
Formulate a hypothesis, make a prediction
Test hypothesis and gather data

Content/Inquiry
•Magnets stick to iron
•Two magnets can attract and repel.
•A force is a push or a pull.
During a FOSS Investigation
What was the role of the student?
What was the role of the teacher?
How did the teacher interact with the students?
What was the source of the information the students were learning?
What thought processes/scientific problem solving skills were the students using?
Essential Features of Inquiry:Learning Cycle E’s
Engage - Pique students’ curiosity, determines students’ prior knowledge, invites students to express what they think and ask questions.
Explore - Student or teacher designed experiences that enable student to test questions and ides related to BIG IDEAS, encourages student-to-student interactions.
Explain – Direct teaching of concepts through discussion, and vocabulary lessons. Students read for information. Students use common experiences and data to develop explanations. Students express their learning in a variety of ways.
Extend/Elaborate - Students establish connections between new and former experiences. Further experiments to support learning may be provided.
Evaluate- Students apply what they have learned in new situations, students demonstrate what they have learned.

Properties
How do magnets interact with other objects?
Does an iron object have to touch a magnet to become a temporary magnet?
Does magnetic force go through all materials?
Investigation 2: Making Connections
• Students find ways to make simple circuits
Investigation 3:
•Students build series and parallel circuits
Investigation 4: Current Attractions
