  4. Participants(posted on Wiki site)

  5. Workshop Goals • To use astronomy as a means of engaging students in learning physical science and mathematical concepts. • To help students derive and understand mathematical relationships, when possible • To help students understand the power of prediction from mathematical models • To help students understand fundamental physical science principles

  6. Strategy • Use active engagement techniques (5 E’s) • Incorporate Cross Cutting Concepts and Standard Mathematical Practices in lesson development

  7. Table 9-2 page 9-16 of Framework

  8. Crosscutting Concepts(poster) 1. Patterns 2. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation 3. Scale, proportion, and quantity 4. Systems and system models 5. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation 6. Structure and function 7. Stability and change

  9. Standards for Mathematical Practice(poster) • Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. • Reason abstractly and quantitatively. • Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. • Model with mathematics. • Use appropriate tools strategically. • Attend to precision. • Look for and make use of structure. • Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. http://www.corestandards.org/

  10. Assessments • Group lesson plan development based on the 5E’s, Cross-Cutting Concepts and Standards of Mathematical Practice • will discuss further this afternoon • make sure to have watched the video on the 5E’s.

  11. Some General Stuff • Dorm (Caldwell) • Check-in ASAP • Lost key fee is $75!!!! • Meals in Larson Commons • mention “Cosmic Connections” when you go through the line • Breakfast: 7:30-8:30 am • Lunch: Noon – 1 pm • Supper: 5:00 – 6:00 pm • Breaks in DEH 269 - times will vary

  12. More General Stuff • Internet access • use “SDSU Guest” • available anywhere on campus • Parking (do not need permit in commuter lots) • Using Wellness Center Facilities • small fee per day ($8?) • Pay at desk on 1st floor by exercise equipment
