June 20, 2014

Plan for the next hour…I. Look at some resourcesII. Evaluate an existing lessonIII. Make a plan for adapting to NGSSIV. Evaluate your own lessons

Reminder:

Integration of 3 Dimensions:

Disciplinary Core IdeasPHYSICAL SCIENCESPS1: Matter and Its InteractionsPS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and InteractionsPS3: EnergyPS4: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

LIFE SCIENCESLS1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and ProcessesLS2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and DynamicsLS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of TraitsLS4: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCESESS1: Earth’s Place in the UniverseESS2: Earth’s SystemsESS3: Earth and Human Activity

ENGINEERING, TECHNOLOGY, AND APPLICATIONS OF SCIENCEETS1: Engineering DesignETS2: Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society

Science and Engineering Practices1. Asking Questions (for science) and Defining Problems (for engineering)2. Developing and Using Models3. Planning and Carrying Out Investigations4. Analyzing and Interpreting Data5. Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking6. Constructing Explanations (for science) and Designing Solutions (for engineering)7. Engaging in Argument from Evidence8. Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information

Crosscutting Concepts1. Patterns2. Cause and Effect: Mechanisms and Explanation3. Scale, Proportion, and Quantity4. Systems and System Models5. Energy and Matter: Flows, Cycles, and Conservation6. Structure and Function7. Stability and Change

Reminder:Performance Expectations:

S/E Practice + Crosscutting Concept + Disciplinary Core IdeaPerformance expectation

I. Resourceshttp://www.bozemanscience.com/next-generation-science-standards/

Rethinking Laboratories – Volkmann & Abel

EQuIP• http://www.nextgenscience.org/resources

II. Evaluate existing lessonScience in your Shopping Cart (Lesson #5)1. What are the core ideas?2. What are the scientific practices?3. What are the cross-cutting concepts?

III. Plan for Adapting to NGSS5-PS1-4: Conduct an investigation to determine whether the mixing of two or more substances results in new substances.

S&EP: Conduct an investigation Core Idea: mixing of two or more substances results in new substancesCCC: results (cause & effect)

III. Plan for Adapting to NGSSMS-PS1-2. Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. [Clarification Statement: Examples of reactions could include burning sugar or steel wool, fat reacting with sodium hydroxide, and mixing zinc with hydrogen chloride.] [Assessment boundary: Assessment is limited to analysis of the following properties: density, melting point, boiling point, solubility, flammability, and odor.]

S&EP: Analyze and interpret data Core Idea: before and after the substances interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurredCCC: properties of substances

III. Plan for Adapting to NGSSMS-PS1-3: Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on natural resources that undergo a chemical process to form the synthetic material. Examples of new materials could include new medicine, foods, and alternative fuels.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to qualitative information.]

S&EP: Gather and make sense of information Core Idea: synthetic materials come from natural resourcesETS: impact society

III. Plan for Adapting to NGSSInquiry:• Planning & Carrying Out Investigations• Analyzing & Interpreting Data• Constructing ExplanationsCore Ideas:• Solubility• Properties of PolymersEngineering & Technology• Societal Impacts

IV. Evaluate your lessons• Which S&EP, Core Ideas, CCC, and ETS are

related?

• How can you make this activity more student-centered & inquiry based?
