  1. Science 6-12 Webinar:Becoming Common Core Connected October 22, 20133:30-4:30 pm

  2. Webinar Series Objectives: • To develop awareness of strategies and resources for implementation of 6-12 Science Standards • To share updates from DPI • To use blended models of professional development and ongoing online communication to implement the North Carolina Science Essential Standards

  3. Webinar Overview • Connecting Science Practices with Common Core • Argumentation and the Cl-Ev-R Model • Connecting with Common Core Literacy Standards through Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) • Connecting with Common Core Mathematics • Updates • Q & A

  4. Information & Resources Science Wiki www.scnces.ncdpi.wikispaces.net

  5. NC Standard Course of Study • Common Core State Standards for Mathematics • Common Core State Standards for ELA and Literacy in Content Areas 6-12 • Essential Standards

  6. Based on work by Stanford University

  7. Claims, Evidence, Reasoning View the archived NSTA Webinar "Questions, Claims, and Evidence: The Important Place of Argument in Science Writing" at http://learningcenter.nsta.org/products/symposia_seminars/NSTA/webseminar18.aspx

  8. The Cl-Ev-R Analysis Template

  9. Claim

  10. Evidence

  11. Reasoning

  12. A Scientific Argument • The quality of an argument is evaluated using… • Empirical Criteria • The claim fits with the evidence. • The amount of evidence is sufficient. • The method used to collect the data was appropriate and rigorous. • The method used to analyze the data was appropriate and sound. • Theoretical Criteria • The claim contributes to our understanding of the natural world. • The claim is consistent with current theories and laws • The interpretation of the data analysis is consistent with current theories and laws. Claim Fits with… Supports… Evidence Supported by… Explains… Reasoning (Justification of the Evidence) • The generation and evaluation of an argument is shaped by… • How scientists communicate with each other • Standards of evidence shared by scientists • Methods of inquiry accepted by scientists • Scientific theories and laws Adapted from “Argumentation in Science Education” in The Science Teacher (2013 Summer)

  13. What is SWH? • Science Writing Heuristic • Guided inquiry • Writing to learn strategy • Used to promote collaboration, learning, critical thinking skills, communication, & problem solving

  14. Based on work by Stanford University

  15. How theScientific & Engineering Practices fromA Framework for K-12 Science Education mesh with the Mathematical Practices of the Common Core World-Class Science at NCDPI

  16. Scientific & Engineering Practicesfrom A Framework for K-12 Science Education

  17. Mathematical Practicesfrom the Common Core If a= 3 and b = 14, then what is the value of c in this equation? 4a + b/2 = 3a +10
