  1. Teaching and Learning Science Informational Webinar February 2012

  2. Lessons Learned“What hasn’t been EESI for students or teachers”

  3. Moving from “What” to “How” Poll Why do students believe plants eat dirt to get energy?

  4. 2008 Where did that plant come from? Lessons Learned: Many students think soil is the major source of matter and/ or energy for a plant. 4. Mineral nutrients were added to the water in which the bean plants were grown. What is one reason plants need mineral nutrients? o A. Plants need mineral nutrients to eliminate energy. o B. Plants use the mineral nutrients as a source of energy. o C. Plants use the mineral nutrients in the process of making food. o D. Plants need mineral nutrients to take the place of carbon dioxide. 54% 38%

  5. EESI Elements of Effective Science Instruction Washington ESD’s Regional Science Coordinators

  6. In Theory Anyway

  7. 15 Years of Research since NSES EESI Poll

  8. Lessons Learned Poll

  9. EOC Pilot Items

  10. Lessons Learned 5th, 8th & HS

  11. Big idea! Energy & Matter in Living Systems

  12. Take it EESI How is the matter and energy in a dead leaf different than in a leaf that is alive?

  13. Making Sense of Energy & Matter in Living Systems Might students assume that there is “no energy” in dead leaves? How to make sense: What did I think before? What new information did I gain? Has my thinking changed?

  14. Make time for Students to Make Sense Big Idea “Energy in living systems” 5th Grade 2009 43.5% 56%

  15. Classroom Culture & Environment It is safe for me to express ideas and misconceptions? I believe I can learn Science!

  16. What does effective science instructionlook & sound like?

  17. Its EESI
