Welcome to Cosmic Connections 2012! South Dakota State University July 9-July

Cosmic Math 2011 Welcome (Larry Browning) –Introductions (staff & participants)staff –NCLB grant (Title II through BoR) –Materials –Schedule –Course Requirements

Project Personnel Dr. Larry Browning – Physic Dept Home: Cell: Judy Vondruska – Physics Dept Dr. Christine Larson – Math Dept

Participants Boever, ChristineJuffer, Cody Christensen, KiraKing, Elke Emanuel, RoseKroon, Cindy Erlandson, KaylaLongworth, Cecilia Evenson, CindeeLoutsch, Samatha Gabor, AlanSchmitz, Rob Gropper, DebSchnell, Jane Hasz, JoiTakahashi, Stanley Hopkins, DebbyWirth, Briana Janish, Kevin

Workshop Goals To help each other in the teaching of math and science so students better understand basic mathematical principles and practices and their application to and use in physical sciences –To help students derive and understand mathematical relationships, when possible –To help students understand the power of prediction from mathematical models

Strategy Use active engagement techniques (5 E’s) Incorporate Cross Cutting Concepts and Standard Mathematical Practices in lesson development Use astronomy related topics to motivate the mathematical developement

Three Dimensions of the Framework for K-12 Science Education Practices (Act) Crosscutting Concepts (CCC) Core Ideas (Ideas) –Physical Sciences

Disciplinary Core Ideas Physical Sciences 1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information 1. Patterns 2. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation 3. Scale, proportion, and quantity 4. Systems and system models 5. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation 6. Structure and function 7. Stability and change Core Idea PS1: Matter and Its Interactions PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter PS1.B: Chemical Reactions PS1.C: Nuclear Processes Core Idea PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions PS2.A: Forces and Motion PS2.B: Types of Interactions PS2.C: Stability and Instability in Physical Systems Core Idea PS3: Energy PS3.A: Definitions of Energy PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer PS3.C: Relationship Between Energy and Forces PS3.D: Energy in Chemical Processes and Everyday Life Core Idea PS4: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer PS4.A: Wave Properties PS4.B: Electromagnetic Radiation PS4.C: Information Technologies and Instrumentation.

Crosscutting Concepts (seven of them) 1. Patterns 2. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation 3. Scale, proportion, and quantity 4. Systems and system models 5. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation 6. Structure and function 7. Stability and change

Common Core State Standards for Mathematics

Mathematics | Standards for Mathematical Practice 1.Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. 2.Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 3.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. 4.Model with mathematics. 5.Use appropriate tools strategically. 6.Attend to precision. 7.Look for and make use of structure. 8.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.

Assessments Questions Development of lesson plans and their incorporation into unit plans –Anyone interested in SDSU’s Unit Plan template? Follow-up meetings (electronic and at Huron)

Learning Outcomes: Participants will be able to incorporate “Crosscutting Concepts” from the Framework in their science and mathematics lessons. Participants will be able to incorporate “Standard Mathematical Practices” from the SD Common Core for Mathematics in their science and mathematics lessons.

Evaluation Procedures: Participants will be evaluated on their lesson plans and how effectively they incorporated the Crosscutting Concepts and Standard Mathematical Practices. Lessons will be shared among the participants. Vertical and lateral teams will be asked to build on team member’s lessons. Two lesson plans will be required. Participation is also a requirement and participants are expected to log 30 hours of activities.

Some General Stuff Dorm (Caldwell) –Check-in ASAP (over lunch break today) –Lost key fee is $75!!!! Meals (VBR or WW, mention “Cosmic Connections”) –Breakfast: 7:30-8:30 am –Lunch: Noon – 1 pm –Supper: 5:00 – 6:00 pm Breaks in DEH 269 –Around 10:30 am and 3:30 pm but will vary

More General Stuff Internet access –use “Openwire” available in dorm lobby workshop rooms union Others? Parking (do not need permit in commuter lots) –Do NOT use handicap/reserved parking spots Using Wellness Center Facilities –$8/day fee –Pay at desk on 1st floor by exercise equipment

Some More General Stuff What to do in the evening –SDSU Art Museum open until 5 pm –Ag Heritage Museum open until 5 pm –Dairy Bar (SDSU Ice Cream, cheese) open until 5 pm –Downtown and area shopping and refreshments –Movies ( ) –Walk through McCrory Gardens and parks –Thursday night - “Music on Main” by Nick’s –Sunday night concerts in Pioneer park –Walmart and HyVee are open 24 hrs. –HOMEWORK –PRT: Beauty and the Beast (July 11, 7:30)

Framework of Workshop Begin at 8:30 am Afternoons begin at 1 pm; end at 5 (except Star observing evening – Monday? – with 8:30 till ???) Stipends: $90/day based on participation Unit Plans/Lessons for presentation posted on Wiki by Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at midnight (electronic sharing) –Help you use these techniques and materials BOR and evaluator visit on Friday Please share information upon your return to school Consider presenting at Huron, Feb. 7-9, 2013 Let us know how things are going Wiki Support (and posting) HAVE FUN!

Summer Course Requirements (2 credits or 30 hours - optional) Develop two lesson plans based on the constructivist 5E model –Will be discussed shortly –Post on Wiki –Both incorporate Astronomy –One lesson needs to be interdisciplinary …coordinated between math and science teacher or across grade level Incorporate them into a UNIT plan –Could create concept map for unit (VUE)VUE
