Presenters: Madelon Cheatham Stephen Brodie

Norms….  Please share your thoughts!  Snacks/coffee  Morning and afternoon break  Lunch on your own  Laptops closed until needed  Cell phones off/silent

Yesterday….  Development of the Framework  Architecture of the Framework  Science and Engineering Practices  Disciplinary Core Ideas  Cross-cutting Concepts  Implementation Timeline

Reflection…  Draw a card from the stack  Answer in writing  Read your reflection to the group  Other group members add their ideas  When everyone is finished, decide on 3 main ideas/concerns to present to the room.

Today…3 Lessons in Grade Band 3-5  Air and Mass  Weather and Climate  Ecosystem in Balance

Goals…Compare each lesson to the K-12 Science Education Framework  Determine the Grade-level End-Points for each lesson  Evaluate evidence for Science Practices and Cross-cutting Concepts in the lesson  Determine additional practices and concepts that should be added to the lesson.  Suggest ways to adapt the lesson to the NGSS goals.

Lesson Plan Format - 5E  Engage: generate interest (short section)  Explore: lab, inquiry, discovery etc.  Explain: students describe their understandings  Elaborate: build understanding/related learning  Evaluation: assessment of learning

Earth Science Lesson  Engage: Video

Earth Science Lesson  Explore: Seismic Times Group exploration and data collection from earthquake news articles.

Earth Science Lesson Explore: Seismic Times Instructions:  Read a news article  Highlight qualitative and quantitative data  Describe the data to your group  All members create one data chart

Earth Science Lesson  Explain: Seismic Times Data Table Questions: Do you notice similarities or inconsistencies in the data? Is there anything that seems unusual? Can you think of reasons that could explain any differences you noticed? What other questions could you ask/research that might provide evidence for your reasoning? Data Table

Earth Science Lesson  Elaborate: Focus Questions: Should more precautions related to earthquakes be taken in some areas of the world? What could you do to determine if some areas have higher seismic risk?

Earth Science Lesson  Elaborate: Earthquake Distribution Activity Location of earthquakes on a world map and discussion of distribution. Crustal Plate Map

Earth Science Lesson  Elaborate: Discussion Questions Do you notice any patterns related to locations of earthquakes? What other information might be helpful in determining if there is a pattern? How do you think scientists might have created the plate boundary map? How can information about the location of earthquakes help us in protecting populations from the hazards of earthquakes? Seismology Map

Earth Science Lesson  Extend: Earthquake Proof Buildings Design a building and evaluate its ability to withstand a simulated earthquake.

Earth Science Lesson  Earthquake Shake Table

Earth Science Lesson  Building Design Testing

Earth Science Lesson  Extend: Earthquake Proof Buildings The student groups create a visual poster: Including: design drawing, weaknesses of the design, strengths of the design, suggested modifications.

Earth Science Lesson  Extend: Earthquake Proof Buildings The class agrees on building codes: The structures and specifications that produced the most earthquake proof building are incorporated and buildings are redesigned if time permits.

Earth Science Lesson  Correlations to Science and Engineering Practices and Cross-cutting Concepts are listed on page 1 of the lesson.  Record the letter or number on the lesson plan where you find evidence of these correlations.  Whole group discussion of correlations.

Wrap- up  How well does this lesson correlate to the expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards?  What additions or substitutions might strengthen this lesson?

BREAK

 All of this afternoon’s lessons can be found at  The lessons follow the 5E Model, but today is about understanding the NGSS. 5E Lesson Model

Air and Mass Lesson Spend 10 minutes browsing the lesson.

Air and Mass Lesson  Use the following focus areas to review Air and Mass in your groups. Current Ar. Science Standards Notice the NGSS Grade Band Endpoints. View the Draft NGSS for the objectives. View the Practices and Cross-Cutting Concepts. Notice the ELA, Math and other “links” of commonality

 Practices and Crosscutting Concepts are listed below each “E”. Are they correct? How do the activities in each “E” relate to the grade bands? Does the activity in this grade level also contribute to grade band endpoints in other grades? Air and Mass Lesson

LUNCH

Weather and Climate Lesson  Spend 10 minutes to conduct a brief overview of the lesson.  Review the Crosscutting Concepts.  Groups review the lesson for the Practices assigned by the presenter.  Present findings on poster paper.  Conduct gallery walk and discuss.

Weather and Climate Lesson  Which new K-12 Framework Grade 5 Endpoints are present?

Weather and Climate Lesson  Although this is a grade 4 lesson using the current Arkansas Science Framework, the Draft NGSS does not have this as a standard.  5.ESI Earth Systems and Their Interactions  Draft NGSS, Page 25 Draft NGSS
