  1. Welcome! • Sign in- Note the Tacoma and Non-Tacoma Sheets  • Find a place to sit • Grab a snack • We will get started at 4:30.. ish

  2. Tools for Integrating Literacy Practices & Science ContentSession 2 Kirk Robbins November 14, 2012 robbinsk2@comcast.net Presented by: South Sound LASER Alliance Puget Sound ESD Tacoma Public Schools

  3. Another FREE Science Workshop Digging Deeper into Systems, Inquiry, and Application by Kirk Robbins DETAILS: Tuesday, November 27 Monday, December 3 4:30-7:30pm Pierce County Skills Center Light Dinner Provided Register: http://sslasiaworkshop.eventbrite.com

  4. Series Overview Session 1: What is integration? Topics vs Big Ideas Interactive Read Aloud: Spoon Session 2: Teaching Cross Cutting Science Standards with Picture books: Toy Boat and Those Darn Squirrels Session 3: Supporting science learning with informational text

  5. Goals Participants will: Develop a deeper understanding of the Design Process (engineering) Develop a deeper understanding of Systems Have opportunities to talk, listen, and share ideas with colleagues. Be provided with a growing set of tools and lessons for teaching important science ideas using narrative text.

  6. Digital Resources scienceandliteracy.wikispaces.com/Oct-Nov+2012 Teachscience4all.wordpress.com

  7. What did we do last time? With an elbow partner- share what you remember doing and learning

  8. FEEDBACK • Describe the Most Important Idea you gained… • Big Ideas versus Topics (mentioned several times) • Integration definition • Examples of “how to” integrate • Looking forward to: • MORE.. Books, lessons, tools, resources, … • Quote: • “Learning and improving my teaching is still exciting after ____ years”

  9. No attempt is made to teach or intentionally reinforce the goals of more than one subject Lesson activity that is designed to teach the learning goal of one subject, but also intentionally reinforces or practices important knowledge and skills from the other subject Lesson that is designed to teach separate learning goals from each subject Learning goals of one subject are taught using the other subject as a theme or a topic in a lesson, but in a way that does not support or reinforce the learning goals of the other subject

  10. SYSTEMS AND APPLICATION (Engineering) WA Science Standards Systems (20% of MSP) Inquiry (30% of MSP) Application (20% of MSP) Domains of Science (30% of MSP) Next Generation Science Standards Systems as a Crosscutting Concept Practices of Science and Engineering Engineering in Core Disciplinary Ideas

  11. Why Use Narrative Text to Teach Science? • Provide extra opportunity to teach/learn a difficult science idea • Revisit a science idea from a prior grade • Supplement weak or lacking opportunities in instructional materials • Provide an Anchor Lesson for continued learning

  12. Teaching Systems Standards with a Picture Book • Participate as a learner • Listen to the story • We will examine the teacher guide for the lesson following the story

  13. A Chair as a System • A ‘system’ can be any living or nonliving thing…it can be very small or very big and complicated. • This chair system has many parts that help it work.

  14. Interactive Read Aloud

  15. Toy Boat as a System The Basic Systems Questions Sheet (BSQ)

  16. Examine the Toy Boat Teacher Guide What questions might you ask students at your grade level? How does this guide help you plan instruction?

  17. Teaching Application (Engineering) Standards with a Picture Book 1. Listen to the story 2. We will examine the teacher guide for the lesson following the story

  18. Design Challenge: Build a bird feeder that provides easy access for birds BUT prevents squirrels from getting the bird feed Imagine you were given this challenge… What steps would you go through to solve it? (What are the Steps of the Design Process (Engineering Process)

  19. Scientific Problem-Solving / Design Process: 1.Define the problem. 2.Gather information (learn) 3.Explore ideas (possibilities) 4.Make a plan (develop one of your ideas) 5.Test the solution (the plan) 6.Communicate the results

  20. Interactive Read Aloud

  21. What Step of the Design Process is this? With a partner: Verbally complete each step of the Design Process based on this picture

  22. Examine the Those Darn Squirrels Teacher Guide Which activities/parts of the teacher guide might you use? How could you connect this book to your instructional materials?

  23. Extension: The Marshmallow Challenge Now you are Fuzzy Little Geniuses… Challenge: Design a tower to reach a bird feeder. Constraints: 20 pieces of dry spaghetti, 1 meter of tape, 1 meter of string, 1 marshmallow. The marshmallow must be on top to represent the “load” of a squirrel

  24. Other Guides and Books • Preview the other picture books and guides • All guides will be available electronically on the wiki

  25. Feedback Form • See you on Monday, November 26th • Here at the PDC from 4:30-6:30 pm • Focus on using Informational Text to teach science ideas
