1. ENGAGE -Turn and Talk
Find your emoji match, introduce yourself and discuss...
What’s happening?
Where does water come from?
What is the ratio of ice to liquid water in the cup?
Approximately what portion inside the cup is H20?
After you are done:
MATH PEOPLE SCIENCE PEOPLE

2. EXPLORE - Where am I on the inquiry continuum?
Place a on the bar indicating your current state.
Place a on the bar indicating where you want to be by the end of the year.

Self-Reflection:
Which subject area can I collaborate with?
Approximately which unit or timeframe?
When will I begin planning? .

3. EXPLORE - What is Inquiry?
Taking the time to find questions
Gaining new perspectives
Attending to differences
Planning new inquiries
Sharing what was learned
Taking thoughtful new action
Start with what “they know”
Inquiry is a process which naturally integrates cross-curricular competencies and subject areas and engages learners by making connections to their world. 3

9. Explain - Jigsaw Choosing the right lesson
Science Expert Groups: Math Expert Groups:
Blended path Problem Based Learning
Inquiry path Visual Learning
Digital path Assess and Differentiate
In your expert groups (10 minutes):
Review the lesson plan
Login to Pearson Realize or use Teacher Edition
Prepare to teach your home group about what you learned:
- What is the major disciplinary concept of the lesson?
- Of the 5E Model resources for your “path”, which would you
choose to use? SCIENCE
- Of the PBL, VBL and A&D resources at your disposal, which
would you choose to use? MATH
- What math or science connections do you see?
- Based on connections, how could you modify the lesson
elements to integrate inquiry for math or science?

10. Explain - Jigsaw Discuss the lesson
In your home groups (15 minutes):
Teach others about your lesson path including responses to the questions below. Each person has 5 minutes!
- What is the major disciplinary concept of the lesson?
- Of the 5E Model resources for your “path”, which would you
choose to use?
- What math or science connections do you see?
- Based on curricular connections, how could you modify the
lesson elements to integrate inquiry for math or science?
