15. Medical Science Careers What do we go to the hospital for? How many emergency response vehicles have you seen this week? What scientists work at the hospital? What does a Microbiologist do?

16. How Much Education is Required? o High School Diploma o Technical Training for Certificate o Associate’s Degree o Bachelor’s Degree o Master’s Degree o Doctorate / Advanced Degree

17. What Are Your Interests? Artistic (A): jobs that allow self-expression, working with forms, designs,& patterns. Artistic (A) Conventional (C): jobs that involve procedures & routines, working with facts more than concepts. Enterprising (E): jobs that involve starting projects, leading people, making decisions, and may require risk taking. Enterprising (E) Investigative (I): jobs that involve working with ideas & concepts; requires a lot of thinking. Investigative (I) Realistic (R): jobs that involve working on practical, hands-on problems & solutions, with real-world materials, tools, & machinery. Realistic (R) Social (S): jobs that involve working & communicating with, helping, & teaching people. Social (S)

18. How Does Education Affect Salary? Source: U.S. Census Bureau. Data from 2000 census. Data from 2000 census. Median annual earnings of U.S. year-round full-time workers ages 21-64.

19. High school is the Conclusion of K-12 education Students make important choices about their future ◦ Will you attend college? ◦ Will you need more technical training? ◦ Will you look for a job? How can we prepare you for the adult world? How do you prepare for your choice of college? What classes do you need to be successful?

20. What is Science Literacy Disciplinary literacy/ ?? What is inquiry – define How do people learn – describe What does standards-based mean?

21. Development -- musical analogy continues >:O Scenario: Build an EQ resistant building on the safest site???? Choose the best building site AND build most EQ resistant building to earn a contract for Billions of dollars Team of architects, chemists, engineers, geologists, surveyors, geographers, cartographers, artists, writers, researchers, project manager, others??

22. Engage in science questions Explore tasks & generate hypotheses/ questions Read relevant articles to access knowledge and evidence

23. Explore Instructions for each pair within team ◦Examine data charts (& maps?) on natural hazards ◦Examine EQ maps - frequency, fault lines, ??,

24. Explain – use evidence …. Explain why site #1, 2, 3 or 4 is best building site based on evidence.

25. Elaborate Build EQ resistant building & test??

26. Evaluate Revise & build model Explain why……….

27. Theme and variations Education makes a difference What are post-high school options? Why stay in school? ◦A-G requirements ◦Study skills ◦Career survey interests

28. High School Classes to Prepare for College Required A-G Courses for CSU/UC Schools 1)Two years of history/social science 2)Four years of English language arts 3)Three years of math (through Algebra II or Integrated Math III) 4)Two years of laboratory science (Life & Physical Science) 5)Two years of foreign language (same language) 6)One year of visual/performing arts 7)One year of elective from the above subjects *Students must also meet other criteria to gain admission to the university systems.

29. University Requirements Universities require two years of a laboratory science. The course must meet their approval - “D requirement” Three or more years are recommended. Students must achieve a grade of “C” or better. Biology Chemistry Physics Physiology AP Environmental Science Physical Anthropology Zoology Marine Biology and more!

30. University Recognition of Honors and AP Classes AP courses ◦College level course. ◦Awarded with an extra grade point (5.0 rather than 4.0) for UC and CSU admission. ◦The goal is for students to take and pass an examination in the subject area. Some Universities will award college credit for a passing score. Some Honors classes also provide the extra grade point if taken in the 10th, 11th and first semester of the 12th grade. Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Physiology

31. Sources of Additional Information http://www.collegeboard.com ◦Information regarding the SAT and AP courses. ◦Information on Colleges and Universities ◦Financial aid information.

32. What is Science? Observing, questioning, planning, hypothesizing and interpreting the world around us Inquiry activities help us develop our thinking skills help us understand scientific processes Wondering about everyday things in a systematic way ◦What happens to the blood sample you give at the doctor's office? ◦How do doctors diagnose diseases? ◦How you can have a rewarding career helping others? ObservingHypothesizing Planning investigations predicting Interpreting findings & drawing conclusions Communicating

33. Process of Science – What Skills the Students will Learn Questioning Observing ◦Measuring ◦Describing Collecting and organizing data ◦Creating tables ◦Creating graphs Recognizing relationships  Gathering evidence  Analyzing evidence  Making conclusions  Communicating and defending conclusions  Critical thinking

34. How to Succeed in School Concept mapping & Mind- mapping ◦Outlining Skills Taking Notes in Class Index Study System Tips for Taking Tests It Pays to Study Hard!

35. Recapitulation & coda What is LAUSD Role? What is science plan? Inquiry Parent role Binder of resources Did you experience an inquiry lesson? ◦Check criteria w/ inquiry continuum

36. Support from You Model and support curiosity and the ability to wonder. Raise questions (I wonder...) Encourage questions Motivation Make education important Support and encouragement Tutoring, Science clubs Organization Check their notebook, homework Homework Designate a consistent time Provide a quiet space Health Get enough sleep Eat well Exercise Communicate with the school Teachers Back to school night Parent conferencing Counseling staff College counselor Parent center

37. Science and You Vocabulary Writing for science Reading in science Math skills ◦Measuring ◦Graphing ◦Data tables ◦Analyzing data
