Common Core in Science

Join Joan Estapa and Betsy Sullivan for an intensive 7-day course at the University of Southern Mississippi, designed to integrate Common Core standards with scientific lesson development. This small group workshop encourages collaboration among educators on understanding and implementing Common Core in science education. Participants will engage in discussions, develop consensus statements, and critically analyze texts through various reading strategies. Enhance your teaching methods and inspire a deeper level of student engagement and critical thinking in your classroom.

  1. Common Core in Science Joan Estapa and Betsy Sullivan

  2. South Mississippi Writing Project • University of Southern Mississippi • Intensive 7 day course • Graduate credit • Small group • Lesson development linking common core with science

  3. Ideas of Common Core Discussion topic: What is common core? Break into small groups. Discuss what common core means or what you’ve heard about common core. Develop a group statement of what it means to implement common core in science. On the paper provided, write a consensus statement for your group.

  4. Gallery Walk • Constructive Criticism • “We agree with your idea because….” • “We disagree. We believe….” • “We might consider….”

  5. Defining “Text” Written words in a book, magazine, newspaper, etc. Video segment Diagram Equation Cartoon Illustration

  6. Interpreting Visuals OH CH3-CH-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-COOH OH CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-COOH

  7. Multiple Readings More readings = Better comprehension “Students need to return to the text to help them overcome their initial confusion, to work through the unfamiliarity of the work, to move beyond the literal, and to free up cognitive space for higher-level thinking.” - Kelly Gallagher, Deeper Reading 1st read: scan the article 2nd read: circle unfamiliar or questionable terms 3rd read: notes on the side 4th read: substitute terms

  8. Reading Strategies What does it not say? T-chart strategy Key Questions: Increasing comprehension What does it say? What does it mean? What does it matter? Say/Mean Chart: T-chart strategy Literary Dominoes: Action/reaction timeline Collaboration in reading comprehension Small group size (too many in the group = hitch hikers) Random pairing by teachers

  9. Tiered Terms Words are placed in tiers based on familiarity. Tier 1 terms: common, everyday words with basic meanings Tier 3 terms: specific to the course, not used everyday Tier 2 terms: common terms with multiple definitions

  10. Branch What does this term mean to you?

  11. Ideally We want to take students from simple comprehension to critical thinkers. As students progress through common core strategies they will become more motivated to learn on their own.
