1. Welcome ETEAMS Teacher Leaders! Common Planning Spring 2014 Browne MS, Schanen ES, Kostoryz ES Dr. Tonya Jeffery & Kim Moore

2. Engaging Teachers in Authentic Math and Science ETEAMS is a 3- year, $1.5 million Targeted Math & Science Partnership from the National Science Foundation, between Texas A&M University – Corpus Christi and Corpus Christi Independent School District. http://eteamscc.com/

3. Math ‘laugh’ of the Day

4. Science ‘laugh’ of the Day

5. Activity 1

6. ENGAGE What is science? What is the nature of science? How do scientists go about their work? How do they investigate things?

7. Mystery Cube Activity

8. EXPLORE As a team: Explore the cube. Do not touch, turn, lift or open the cube! Identify questions associated with the cube. What are your questions?

9. EXPLORE CHALLENGE: Now, try to answer the questions by proposing an explanation. Must convince me and your peers that your answer is based on evidence.

10. EXPLORE CHALLENGE: You will have to answer the questions by proposing an explanation. Must convince me and your peers that your answer is based on evidence.

11. EXPLAIN Share your answers with the class. Explain your reasoning.

12. ELABORATE CHALLENGE: What is on the bottom of the cube? What experiment could you perform to determine what is on the bottom of the cube? Each team member must perform one “experiment” to learn more about what is on the bottom of the cube. What can you conclude about the bottom of the cube?

13. EVALUATE How does this activity simulates scientific inquiry and provides a model for science?

14. Lesson Objectives Show current understanding of the process of scientific inquiry Recognize that science uses a process as a means of learning about the natural world Identify major components of the process by which scientists learn about the world, and Appreciate that experiments help scientists test predictions.

17. Myths of Science Quiz http://www.nsta.org/ Chiappetta & Koballa (Nov. 2004). Quizzing students on the myths of science. The Science Teacher.

18. “Myths of Science Quiz” (True or False) 1. Science is a system of beliefs. 2. Most scientists are men as males are better at scientific thinking. 3. Scientists rely heavily upon imagination to carry out their work. 4. Scientists are totally objective in their work. 5. The scientific method is the accepted guide for conducting research. 6. Experiments are carried out to prove cause and effect relationships 7. All scientific ideas are discovered and tested by controlled experiments 8. A hypothesis is an educated guess 9. When a theory has been supported by a great deal of scientific evidence it becomes a law. 10. Scientific ideas are tentative and can be modified or disproved, but never proved. 11. Technology preceded science in the history of civilization. 12. In time, science can solve most of society’s problems.
