Another FREE Science WorkshopDigging Deeper into Systems, Inquiry, and Application by Kirk RobbinsDETAILS:Tuesday, November 27Monday, December 34:30-7:30pm Pierce County Skills CenterLight Dinner ProvidedRegister: http://sslasiaworkshop.eventbrite.com
Series OverviewSession 1:
What is integration?Topics vs Big IdeasInteractive Read Aloud: Spoon
Session 2:Teaching Cross Cutting Science Standards with
Picture books: Toy Boat and Those Darn SquirrelsSession 3:
Supporting science learning with informational text
Goals
Participants will:
Be provided with a growing set of tools and lessons for teaching important science ideas using narrative text.
Develop a deeper understanding of Systems
Develop a deeper understanding of the Design Process (engineering)
Have opportunities to talk, listen, and share ideas with colleagues.

FEEDBACK
Describe the Most Important Idea you gained…•Big Ideas versus Topics (mentioned several times)•Integration definition•Examples of “how to” integrate
Looking forward to:•MORE.. Books, lessons, tools, resources, …
Quote:“Learning and improving my teaching is still exciting after ____ years”
No attempt is made to teach or intentionally reinforce the goals of more than one subject
Learning goals of one subject are taught using the other subject as a theme or a topic in a lesson, but in a way that does not support or reinforce the learning goals of the other subject
Lesson activity that is designed to teach the learning goal of one subject, but also intentionally reinforces or practices important knowledge and skills from the other subject
Lesson that is designed to teach separate learning goals from each subject

Why Use Narrative Text to Teach Science?
• Provide extra opportunity to teach/learn a difficult science idea
• Revisit a science idea from a prior grade• Supplement weak or lacking
opportunities in instructional materials• Provide an Anchor Lesson for continued

Teaching Systems Standards with a Picture Book
1. Participate as a learner
2. Listen to the story3. We will examine
the teacher guide for the lesson following the story
A Chair as a SystemA Chair as a System
A ‘system’ can be any living or nonliving thing…it can be very small or very big and complicated.
This chair system has many parts that help it work.

Design Challenge: Build a bird feeder that provides easy access for birds BUT prevents squirrels from getting the bird feed
Design Challenge: Build a bird feeder that provides easy access for birds BUT prevents squirrels from getting the bird feed
Imagine you were given this challenge…
What steps would you go through to solve it? (What are the Steps of the Design Process (Engineering Process)
Scientific Problem-Solving / Design Process:
1.Define the problem.2.Gather information (learn)3.Explore ideas (possibilities)4.Make a plan (develop one of your ideas)5.Test the solution (the plan)6.Communicate the results
What Step of the Design Process is this?What Step of the Design Process is this?

Extension: The Marshmallow Challenge
Now you are Fuzzy Little Geniuses…
Challenge: Design a tower to reach a bird feeder.
Constraints: 20 pieces of dry spaghetti, 1 meter of tape, 1 meter of string, 1 marshmallow. The marshmallow must be on top to represent the “load” of a squirrel
