Good morning! Please introduce yourself at your table and share something that you enjoy about teaching science

Why are we here? And where are we going?

Become familiar with the Science Standards document Investigate and understand big ideas, cross-cutting concepts and abilities and vertical alignment of the Science Standards Plan to share the Revised Science Standards with your colleagues

In 2007 the Washington State Legislature passed HB 1906 calling for:  The State Board of Education to review our current science standards.  OSPI to revise the science standards.

Purpose of Standards  What do standards do?  What do standards not do?

Something looks different here…

Grade Bands…  The domains of science (EALR 4) are extended to grade 11  The cross-cutting concepts and abilities extend to grade 12  Three elementary grade bands:  K-1, 2-3, 4-5

Vertical Alignment Energy Transfer, Transformation and Conservation

Vertical Alignment… Read the opening paragraph on each of the grade band pages for Energy Transfer, Transformation, and Conservation standard. How does the concept develop K-12?

 For the “big idea” given assign each group member the grade level standard pages  Read the opening paragraph and summarize what the students are to learn at each particular grade level.  Share at your table  As a group discuss “How does the concept develop K- 12?”  Illustrate the concept development on a sheet of chart paper

Planning What is one big idea from EALR 4 addressed in this unit? What do you think your students would do to demonstrate their understanding of the content standards for this big idea?

Physical Science Life Science Earth & Space Science Domains (EALR 4) Cross Cutting Concepts and Abilities (EALRS 1 – 3) EALR 1: Systems EALR 2: InquiryEALR 3: Application

Systems

1. Identify what students in your grade band do to demonstrate understanding of the systems EALR 2. Look at the system identified in your grade band materials 3. Using the performance expectations, Brainstorm questions you could ask your students about the system

Inquiry

How is an understanding of Inquiry built?

Experimental set-up 10cm Height of ramp (cm) Distance stopper travels (cm) Trial 1Trial 2Trial 3Ave 2cm6576 4cm Distance of Stopper Travel

Your question…  Using the investigative template, design an experiment to test out your own question.  How will ______ affect the distance the stopper is pushed?

Check the standard What elements of the inquiry standards were practiced in this activity? Which were not?

Disscuss Look at the domain standard 2-3 PS1 How does this lesson integrate the cross- cutting idea of inquiry with the domain of physical science?

Application

Technological Design Process

1. Identify what students in each grade band do to demonstrate understanding of the application EALR 2. Chart the key ideas about application teachers in each grade band need to understand

Using the same unit:  Identify the ELAR 4 content ideas  Identify the crosscutting standards that could apply to this lesson  Identify related content standards.  Brainstorm ways to use your materials to address these standards Planning

Reflect Where am I heading? What implications do the revised science standards have for me in my teaching?
