3. Integrating technology is a critical part of instruction and in preparing students for success.

4. Incorporation of Technology Science Quality Review Rubric

5. Uses appropriate technology and media strategically and ethically to deepen learning and draw attention to scientific evidence.* Science Quality Review Rubric

6. Evidence Centered Design Start with the End in Mind

7. Evidence Centered Design

8. Evidence Centered Design Shift Build understanding across disciplines Craft responses based on EVIDENCE Use Technology academically and in real world settings

9. Evidence of Shifts Show me the data

10. Scientific Practices Outlined

11. Data Collected Relevant data are collected Quantitative and/or observational

12. Data Tables and/or Graphs Clearly and accurately presented Highlight trends and patterns Facilitate the analysis Appropriate for the investigation

13. Data Analysis Data analysis is complete Scientifically appropriate Relevant to the inquiry

14. Relationships clearly described Using written and/or oral communication Patterns and Trends

15. Interpretations, Models, Conclusions Thoroughly explained Connected to evidence

16. Soil and the Three Little Pigs Students become engineers as they design a house out of soil that the Big Bad Wolf can’t blow down.

17. Key Science Concepts Grade 3 The characteristics of rocks and soil must be studied through sampling, observation and testing.

18. Key Science Concepts Grade 3 This testing includes the ability of water to pass through samples of rock or soil and the determination of color, texture, composition and moisture level of soil.

19. Key Science Concepts Grade 3 Measurable and observable characteristics of rocks include size and shape of the particles or grains

20. Key Science Concepts Grade 3 Technology can be used to analyze and compare test results, connect to other classrooms to compare data or share samples, and document the findings.

21. Future Applications Grades 4-5: The general characteristics of Earth are studied.

22. Scientific Practices Reading Scientific Texts Closely Key Areas of Focus in Ohio’s NLS

23. Writing from Sources Building Disciplinary Knowledge

24. Technology Integration eReader: www.epubbub.com Building Background, Integration of Inquirywww.epubbub.com Google Forms: Formative/Summative Assessments Google Presentations: Demonstration of Learning by student teams

25. Technology Integration Create a GraphCreate a Graph: Creation of Visual Representation of soil house ingredients used to compare houses. QR Code GeneratorQR Code Generator: Create QR codes to directly take students to google forms, websites, etc.
