Scientific Habits of Interaction Honor Private Think Time Respect my own and others’ right to solve problems Share My Challenges Volunteer Ideas Think about my Thinking Listen to Understand Ask Genuine Questions

Last Time.... Work in grade-level teams to design a task that provides an opportunity for students to develop a claim/scientific explanation connected to a FOSS Science module at your grade level.

Learning Target I can explain and describe connections between the NGSS Engineering Design standards and the 2009 WA State Application standards. I can explain the technological design process described in the 2009 WA Standards and the NGSS. I can describe connections between the engineering design process and claims- evidence-reasoning.

Engineering Design What does it look and sound like? Identify an example from one of your FOSS kits where students are designing solutions to problems.

Criteria vs. Constraints

How Does Claims Evidence and Reasoning Fit?

Learning Target I can explain and describe connections between the NGSS Engineering Design standards and the 2009 WA State Application standards. I can explain the technological design process described in the 2009 WA Standards and the NGSS. I can describe connections between the engineering design process and claims- evidence-reasoning.

5 Dimensions Think about the work we engaged in this afternoon... What were the connections to 5-D?

Read Chapter 4 Of What’s Your Evidence? As you teach your new FOSS Science Module, identify places where students are engaging in the engineering design process. Are there other opportunities as well? Bring evidence from your classroom.

Exit Card: 1.What will you take back and use in your classroom? 1.Knowing the challenges in your classroom, how will one of the ideas presented today support your students?

What kind of work would be helpful during our STEM sessions? What would you like us to accomplish?
