  1. Science Essential Standards

  2. Not Common Core • New Essential Standards are based on National Science Benchmarks • More closely aligned with other states

  3. Compare the Average Grade 4 NAEP Score in 2009 to Other States/Jurisdictions In 2009, the average score in North Carolina was  lower than those in 24 states/jurisdictions  higher than those in 9 states/jurisdictions  not significantly different from those in 13 states/jurisdictions  5 states/jurisdictions did not participate

  4. Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy (RBT)

  5. Three Domains • Physical Science • Earth Science • Life Science

  6. Science as Inquiry: K-2 • Hands-On AND Minds-On • Experimentation and Technological Design • Purposeful exploration • Should use tools such as: magnifiers, thermometers, rulers, or balances to gather data and extend senses • Should be encouraged to employ oral language, drawings, and models to communicate results and explanations of investigations and experiments in a cooperative learning environment

  7. K-2 Inquiry • Provide time to discuss observations • Encourage new observations rather than debates about who is correct

  8. Science as Inquiry: 3-5 • Students should be encouraged to make careful observations • Measure with increasing accuracy • Use more advanced tools such as calculators, computers, graduated cylinders, scales, and meter sticks to gather data and extend senses • Must keep accurate records and run enough trials to be confident of results to test a prediction • Employ more sophisticated language, drawings, models, charts and graphs to communicateresults and explanations

  9. 3-5 Inquiry • Use patterns in data to create explanations of results • Require record-keeping and multiple tests to verify prediction results

  10. Stair Step Curriculum Motion and Design

  11. PHYSICAL SCIENCE: Forces and Motion

  12. Physical Science: Forces and Motion

  13. Physical Science: Forces and Motion

  14. Word Walls • Students need to use the language of science • Need to practice new language with peers • Highlight features, forms of the word, homophones (cell)
