    2. Today’s Goals This class is intended to: Introduce students to the ORC website and other electronic resources available to support science instruction. Familiarize students with the Science Topic Resource Collection assignment to gather appropriate resources to support science instruction in the six science content areas (Ohio ACS).

    3. Science Announcements Project Learning Tree @ MEEC Sunday, October 21 Noon-7p.m. Project Wet @ UD Friday, November 30 12:30-6:30 NSTA Regional Conference: Detroit Thursday-Saturday, October 18-20 Ohio Space Grant Consortium Scholarship Pre-service Teacher Science Questionnaire Office Hours Change Today: 12-2:00

    4. Today’s Agenda

    5. Science Curriculum: Who Decides? National, state, & local expectations and/or standards Textbook publishers Teacher knowledge, experience, dispositions Available resources and support Students’ needs, experiences, expectations

    6. Levels of Curriculum Planning

    7. Science Education in Ohio 1996 Science Model Curriculum Ohio Proficiency Tests (science added in 1997) 2003 Academic Content Standards- K-12 Science Ohio Achievement Tests and Graduation Test

    8. Ohio Academic Content Standards for K-12 Science Earth and Space Sciences Life Sciences Physical Sciences Science & Technology Scientific Inquiry Science as a Way of Knowing

    9. Science Topic Resource Collection Collection of materials that can be used to support teaching of a specific topic Arranged by teaching strategies or methods (i.e., experiments, projects, demonstrations, websites, trade books, films, Webquests, field trips, etc.) rather than by teaching sequence

    10. Final Products

    11. Science Lesson Sketches

    12. Electronic Lesson Ideas Ohio Resource Center for Mathematics, Science, & Reading http://www.ohiorc.org Ohio Department of Education Ohio's Instructional Management System (IMS) NSTA science websites National Science Teachers Association

    14. Resource Collection Work Summarize concepts for each grade Summarize concepts across grade-levels Research scientific explanation of concepts and summarize Assign grade-level to each group member to find lesson and write sketch

    15. Today: Resource Unit Work Select Groups: Criteria (across grade levels, schools) Summarize science content covered in Benchmarks & Grade-Level Indicators in each grade level (K-3) Summarize content across grade levels Brainstorm & begin searching for activities that will promote student learning

    16. For Next Class In Class The Brief History… Science Content Standards For Class Begin Reading Martin CH 3 p. 67-122 Bring Ohio Science Standards Complete Pre-service Teacher Science Questionnaire
