SCE 4310 U01 TUESDAY, APRIL 19, 2016 AGENDA, PHOTOS, NOTES, RESOURCES

Today’s Focus: Science & Engineering Practices – NGSS/Working from the 5 E Learning Cycle Approach

The 5 E Learning Cycle Approach

Notes: 5 E Learning Cycle Investigations in SCE 4310 Day 1 (Start with the Basic Science Process Skills - then the Science Experiment & CERR Frame – Now STEM (Engineering Design Problems) in the Explore and Explain Phases

Notes: Adding NGSS Dimensions to Investigations: Disciplinary Core Ideas, Cross-cutting Concepts, & Science & Engineering Practices

Process to Designing, Building, Testing (Evaluating), Presenting –Engineering Design/Today’s work – Model Car (Biomimicry factors)

Teams study the problem, generate ideas, select a solution, and build the car

Teams Test and Evaluate and Present the Results the Results of the Prototypes

Inquiry, teamwork, creativity and different approaches to meeting the problem challenges

Engaging in the next problem to solve: Ormie the Pig video

Engineering Design Challenge – It’s a Scream “Roller Coaster Mania”

Teams work to get materials organized – Planning Phase

Planning moves to testing

Persisting and other habits of mind and thinking skills are at a premium in the process

Ingenuity and creativity

Building an urban coaster – space at a premium/Floor warriors

Just one more piece of tape, please! One more bend?

Coasters get redesigned and new prototypes emerge to be tested/Presentations

Coasters gain identities/names

Designs of roller coasters and presentations are successful!

Data Collected for Test Trials

Four teams meet the Engineering Design Challenge Successfully as another type of 5 E Learning Cycle Approach is modelled/Relate to Science Ideas/Newton’s Laws

Final 8 Item Agenda Completed for Today’s work!
