  1. Using Online Sources to Support Science Instruction By Dawn Sparks

  2. When I was hired I consider this…

  3. Also not my job…

  4. Winner of the its not my job…

  5. So what is our job…

  6. Science Data: Fifth Grade 2011-12

  7. Migrant Science Data: 2011-12

  8. Comparing All Student to Migrant

  9. Application of Science

  10. What are the connections between these two worlds?

  11. EALR 3 Application includes the ability to use the process of technological design to solve real world problems, to understand the relationship between science and technology and their influence on society, and to become aware of the wide variety of careers in scientific and technical fields. These abilities are needed for people to apply what they learn in school to meet challenges in their own lives, to understand and help solve societal problems involving science and technology, and contribute to the prosperity of their community, state, and nation.

  12. Application Questions • There are 6 different application, short-answer questions. • Research and Explore • Plan and Test • Criteria and Constraints • Redesign • Test Solutions • Careers Which are tested at 5th grade? At 8th Grade? At 10th grade? 5th 8th Bio EOC

  13. Application Questions • Research and Explore: EOC • Plan and Test: 5th • Criteria and Constraints: EOC • Redesign: 5th EOC • Test Solutions: EOC • Careers: 5th

  14. Looking at State Resources… • Item Templates

  15. How do we improve… • Brainstorm and jot down your ideas • Share with others near you with discussion cards • Formative Assessment Strategy Share Out “Give Me Five”

  16. How Do We Improve… • Focused intention instruction… • What are the learning targets? • How are students assessed? • Practice, Practice, Practice • I do, we do, you do- • Modeling • Group interactions • Practice on your own

  17. Adding to the Structure with Graphic Organizers and Online Supports • Pop Fly: Its football with a twist. Invent a way to send a Ping-Pong ball flying high enough to catch it. • PBS: Design Squad • Educator Resources

  18. Finding Resources PBS Design Squad • Use simple materials • Pose a problem to solve-often with a video • Use the language of design • Directions for students in English and Spanish • Leader Notes • Wide variety of activities are available

  19. Adaptations for Migrant Students • Addressed for afterschool ~ family science nights • Add supports- • Lesson Preparation • Build Background • Student Interactions • Practice • Review and Assessment

  20. Objectives: • Content: I will be able to design and build a system that can launch a Ping-Pong ball high enough to catch. • Language: I will be able to write the steps I used to solve my design challenge.

  21. Problem Design and build a system that will send a ping pong ball high enough to catch it.

  22. Criteria ~The ping pong ball must go high enough to have someone catch it. ~The ping pong ball must be launched without anyone touching the ball.~The ping pong ball must be launched from 10 feet away and hit the target on the wall.

  23. Constraints •No human hands can touch the ping pong ball. •The launcher can only be made out of the provided materials.

  24. Materials • Duct Tape • 3-5 Paint Stirrers • 1 Ping Pong ball • 1 Wooden Block/Spool • 3 – ounce paper cup

  25. Ping Pong Ball Launcher Research the Problem: ~What do you know about the problem? ~What (scientific) information might be helpful to solve the problem? ~How would you collect that information? ~What scientific words can we use?

  26. Explore Ideas • Describe different solutions • Provide scientific Ideas with solutions

  27. As a Design Team… • Go over your ideas • Collaborate on the best ideas from everyone

  28. Test and Evaluate… • How will you test your solution? • What will you observe? • What will you measure? • How will you collect and share your data?

  29. Redesign…

  30. Redesign:How can you modify yourold system to solve a new problem?

  31. Work with a team to design your own system

  32. Using scaffolds but not using crutches… • I do, we do, you do- • Modeling • Group interactions • Practice on your own • Remove scaffolds for students

  33. Pop Fly Challenge… • Design Squad Pop Fly Challenge • Extra Teacher Supports

  34. Research and Explore
