NGSS EQuIP RUBRIC SMD EPO PD Part 4: Supporting 3D Learning April 15, 1:00-2:00 pm ET Hilarie B Davis, Ed.D. Bradford Davey, Ed.D. TLC Inc.

Objectives for our time together 1) Use the EQuIP tool to analyze a lesson 1) Reflect on how you will use it in the future How well does a unit support 3D learning?

The Goal of NGSS If implemented properly, the NGSS will lead to coherent, rigorous instruction that will result in students being able to acquire and apply scientific knowledge to unique situations and to think and reason scientifically

NGSS Three Dimensional Learning

Food

PE: Construct and argue for an explanation of why animals breathe out less oxygen than they air they breathe in. DCI: LS1.C: Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms Within individual organisms, food moves through a series of chemical reactions in which it is broken down and rearranged to form new molecules, to support growth or to release energy In most animals and plants, oxygen reacts with carbon-containing molecules (sugars) to provide energy and produce carbon dioxide; anaerobic bacteria achieve their energy needs in other chemical processes that do not need oxygen Cross-cutting concepts: Energy and Matter Science and engineering practices: Constructing explanations and designing solutions; Engaging in Argument form Evidence

Performance Task: Solve the mystery: Inspector Bio wants to know what you have figured out about the oxygen that is missing from the air you exhale. Explain to her where the oxygen goes, what uses it, and why. Teacher asks, “What happens inside the body that lets humans do the things they do?” Students do investigations on cell growth, what cells need to survive, identifying what materials can get into and out of a cell, how food is broken down, how nutrients are transported through the body to the cells, where a chemical reaction occurs using oxygen and glucose to release energy Students work on their explanation and model as they do the investigations

Core idea Construct an argument about missing oxygen Food provides living things with building materials and energy LS1.C grade 5 How the idea is used in the argument Something must be going on in the body that uses food, and somehow gets the matter to be used in growth, and the energy to be used for all body functions. All matter is made of particles; matter cannot be created or destroyed. PS1.A.grade 5 The increased mass in growth must come from somewhere, so it must be from the food input to the body.. Energy can be transferred from one part of a system to another, and converted from one form to another. PS3.B (grade 8) The only way for the body to get energy is to get it from somewhere else, either transfer or conversion of energy..

Core idea Construct an argument cont. Chemical reactions can rearrange matter into different combinations, changing its properties PS3.B (grade 8) How the idea is used in the argument To use the mass in food, a chemical reaction must be taking place to rearrange the substances. Chemical reaction can convert energy from stored energy to other forms of energy. PS1.B, PS3.A (grade 8) There must be a chemical reaction going on to get the stored energy in the food into a form usable by the body. One type of chemical reaction that can convert stored energy to other forms is when some substances combine with oxygen in burning. PS3.D (grade 8) The oxygen that is shipped around the body along with the broken-down food must be being used in a chemical reaction to convert the stored energy in the food molecules.

Performance Task: Solve the mystery: Inspector Bio wants to know what you have figured out about the oxygen that is missing from the air you exhale. Explain to her where the oxygen goes, what uses it, and why. Write a scientific explanation with a claim, sufficient evidence, and reasoning. Students develop explanations throughout the unit Final explanation is scored with a rubric

Level 0: Missing or only generic reasons for survival (to breathe, for living Level 1: Oxygen used to get energy or used with food for energy; no physical science mechanisms presented to get energy Level 2: Oxygen used in a chemical reaction (or “burning”) to get energy, but an incomplete description of matter and energy physical science (e.g., “burned the oxygen” without mentioning food or glucose or “react with glucose” but no account of energy) Level 3: Full account, using physical science ideas including both the matter and energy accounts – oxygen is combined in a chemical reaction with food or glucose that includes a conversion of the stored energy in food to forms usable by the cells. Scoring Rubric for Performance Task

Data

PE: Gather and use data to explain that young animals and plants grow and change and the variation among them. LS1.B Growth and development of organisms (grades 3-5): Organisms have unique and diverse life cycles. Cross-cutting concepts: Patterns Science and engineering practices: Using Mathematics Constructing explanations Engaging in argument from evidence Communicating information 3 rd grade

Performance Task: Invention and revision of representations and models of ecosystem functioning, variability, and growth at organismic and population levels; Reasoning about data representations Teacher asks, “Is there is pattern in how silkworms grow?” Students do investigations on silkworm growth, generating data displays of their findings Students construct an explanation and argue from evidence about the growth patterns of the silkworms.

Learning progression for reasoning about data representations 1.Create displays or interpret data without reference to goals of data creation. We had a lot of data 2. Interpret and/or produce data displays as collections of individual cases. This number is the biggest. We graphed the data going from low to high 3. Notice or construct groups of similar values. These should be grouped. 4. Recognize or apply scale properties to the data. The data can be grouped in equal clumps. Changing the clump size changes the distribution 5. Consider the data in aggregate when interpreting or creating displays. The display shows more about the whole group than you can tell from the individual cases 6. Integrate the case and aggregate perspective. The general patterns or trends are either exemplified or missing from subsets of cases

Performance Task: Gather and use data to explain that young animals and plants grow and change and the variation among them Write a scientific explanation with a claim, sufficient evidence, and reasoning for each data representation – collect these over time – ask students to reflect on the changes in their understanding from the beginning of the project Students develop explanations throughout the unit Final explanation is scored with a rubric

Summary 1) Analyze the lesson materials noting for evidence of: Alignment (core ideas, instructional practices, cross- cutting concepts) Instructional support elements (essential questions, learning progressions, performance expectations Monitoring student progress (ongoing - self, peer, formative and summative assessment) 2) Discuss with others and make recommendations for improvement Discussion develops a common understanding of the framework Reviewing lessons builds a repertoire of viable options

from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:16 PM) It appears to be an if-then relationship from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:18 PM) uses energy from the sun we eat plants and they get energy from sun from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:19 PM) VItamin D manufacturing, not C from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:20 PM) carbon from fuel to carbon dioxiide from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:21 PM) Sugar and protein metabolism Sugar would be most appropriate here from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:21 PM) water from rain too from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:22 PM) Carbon cycle is a bit of a stretch for 5th grade

from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:22 PM) rain for plants to use water for us to drink from Lindsay Bartolone to All: (04/15/15 01:22 PM) Lessons from thin air from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:23 PM) food energy to muscle energy from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:24 PM) Photosynthesis again from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:25 PM) we are effectively "burning" food with the oxygen we breather metabolism from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:26 PM) metabolizing There isn’t any life science without physical science foundations from Lindsay Bartolone to All: (04/15/15 01:29 PM) That’s why I went into physical science;)

from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:31 PM) yeah, in rockets, oxygen is NOT the fuel from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:36 PM) The teachers are in for a treat if they are raising silkworms for this…they are NOISY! from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:39 PM) love it! from Brian Kruse to All: (04/15/15 01:39 PM) Do they smell like an aquarium full of crickets do? from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:48 PM) It is an interesting tool to have in your box, but it is not the only one i would use. There are quicker starting points from Patricia Reiff to All: (04/15/15 01:48 PM) might use it to evaluate our Coursera course from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:49 PM) It is probably best for using with a collaborative group tasked with evaluating sets of resources. I don’t think that teachers will find it particularly useful at first Right, Brian!! The Bybee book provides a much better tool for them

from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:49 PM) If this is the tool that we try to promote with our teachers in PD, they will be turned off from Brian Kruse to All: (04/15/15 01:50 PM) Agreed! The Bybee book in combination with the EQuIP tool makes a more coherent experience for the teachers we work with. from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:50 PM) Although, Bybee also has some great tools for evaluation and assessment groups, as does the NRC publications. Until they have scoring for the rubric, there is too much room for speculative opinion from Lindsay Bartolone to All: (04/15/15 01:51 PM) I agree, with the scoring from Brian Kruse to All: (04/15/15 01:51 PM) The Bybee book is a much friendlier tool from Brian Kruse to All: (04/15/15 01:55 PM) Andi's point is a good argument for emphasizing Rodger's book as a tool for adapting instruction. The EQuIP tool does not directly impact instruction with any immediacy

from Hilarie Davis to All: (04/15/15 01:57 PM) Agreed - adapting is safer! Start putting students at the center of the investigation process from Brian Kruse to All: (04/15/15 01:58 PM) Yes! Teacher's need to give up their part in the Explain part of 5E in favor of student discussion and explanation of THEIR experience. from Andi Nelson to All: (04/15/15 01:59 PM) Right, Brian! Facilitating opportunity for them to form explanations and connections, not have them given to them. from Lindsay Bartolone to All: (04/15/15 01:58 PM) and my gut reaction to the tool was that it was paralyzing …I couldn’t imagine trying to write a lesson that included accommodations for all students…”Appropriate reading, writing, listening, and/or speaking alternatives (e.g., translations, picture support, graphic organizers) for students who are English language learners, have special needs, or read well below the grade level.” from Hilarie Davis to All: (04/15/15 01:59 PM) Curriculum developers are struggling with this for sure! I see them having lots of “call-outs” I think it’s going have to be simplified, xtreamlined at the very least!
