We will start and end on time. We will stay on task and avoid side conversations. We will practice respectful use of technology. We will listen and respond respectfully to one another. Professional Considerations

Promote Metacognition - think, ink, and share Enhance students’ ability to record data, reflect, revisit Diagrams, plots, tables, and written text Provide evidence of learning and information about misunderstandings Science Notebooks

Conceptual Shifts in the Standards

In your notebook, reflect on the question: What do I see as the biggest potential impact of the conceptual shifts on my school or in my classroom?

Components of Three- Dimensional Learning

Three-Dimensional Learning

Science and Engineering Practices Science In Action As you watch the video, identify some “action words” that describe what scientists did as they identified the spider.

W What happened to the scientific method?

Science and Engineering Practices Asking questions and defining problems Developing and using models Planning and carrying out investigations Analyzing and interpreting data Using mathematics, information and computer technology, and computational thinking Constructing explanations and designing solutions Engaging in argument from evidence Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

Finally, it is time to look at the actual Iowa Science Standards…

What students are expected to know and be able to do as a result of instruction. The standards are written as three- dimensional performance expectations that integrate science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts.

Iowa Standards call for students to become proficient in science and engineering: Integration of 3 dimensions – not separate treatment of “scientific ideas” and “inquiry” Need to pay attention to how we build understanding over time and across the disciplines Need to involve learners in using disciplinary practices to develop and apply scientific and engineering ideas 3 Dimensions combined to form several performance expectations

Iowa Science StandardsIowa Science Standards = NGSS Performance Expectations Review the standards for your grade level/content area As you review the standards, journal +, Δ, ? Share your reflections

All standards are meant for every student Students can meet the standards through a variety of pathways Elective courses are “above and beyond” and are deeper elaboration of the standards. All Standards, All Students

K-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object. Find the 3 Dimensions in the Iowa Science Standard

K-PS2-1 Plan and conduct an investigation to compare the effects of different strengths or different directions of pushes and pulls on the motion of an object. Find the 3 Dimensions in the Iowa Science Standard

MS-PS3-4 Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample.

Find the 3 Dimensions in the Iowa Science Standard

HS-PS2-1 Analyze data to support the claim that Newton’s second law of motion describes the mathematical relationship among the net force on a macroscopic object, its mass, and its acceleration. Find the 3 Dimensions in the Iowa Science Standard

Iowa Science Standards are the NGSS performance expectations but the full NGSS pages and resources should be used to ensure there is deep understanding of the standard(s) and to make curricular and instructional decisions.

Iowa Science Standards and their NGSS Foundations

Ensuring there is deep understanding of the standard(s) requires a deeper dive into the three dimensions….

Diving Deeper into Three-Dimensional Learning

Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) Developing and using models Planning and carrying out investigations Analyzing and interpreting data Using mathematics and computational thinking Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) Engaging in argument from evidence Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Science and Engineering Practices

Crosscutting Concepts Patterns Cause and effect Scale, proportion, and quantity Systems and system models Energy and matter Structure and function Stability and change

Crosscutting Concepts Video: NGSS Crosscutting Concepts How do students benefit from understanding the crosscutting concepts? How did the task prompt participants to use the crosscutting concepts?

With the cross cutting concept your group has been assigned Read through the summary, progression and example performance expectations of assigned crosscutting concept Think of units you’ve taught where this crosscutting concept applies Be ready to summarize & share out your new understanding

Crosscutting Concepts Thinking back on our common experience of Classroom Curling What opportunities exist for making the connections to the cross cutting concepts more explicit?

#5 Change your vocabulary to make the Cross Cutting Concepts more visible: ●What observations can you make about the system? ●Use your model to… ●What effect did changing the variable have on…? ●What patterns are visible in this data? ●At what scale are we using this model?

Notebook: Support or refute the following claims with evidence from this professional development: The structure of the Iowa Core Science Standards is based on the NGSS structure. Our Classroom Curling Activity Activity includes three-dimensional learning as supported in the new Iowa Core Science standards.
