  1. BS618: Topics in Biology EducationGetting Started with Investigative CasesA seed of an idea……June 2010

  2. “Do apples always have seeds?” Toni asked.

  3. Claire smiled at one more of Toni’s endless questions. She typed seedless apple into the Google search box. In a few seconds the following article in the Time archives was displayed.

  4. "Well, it seems apples usually do have seeds,” Claire answered.“How many?” Toni asked.Claire reached into the basket of apples on the table, picked out the largest one, and said, “Let’s see, we’re fixin’ to find out.”“Okay,” replied Toni as she grabbed the smallest apple for herself.

  5. What do you think this case is about? What do you already know that relates to this case? What do you need to know to understand the case? What questions could you explore?

  6. Resource: Apples

  7. Resource: Data

  8. Apple seed

  9. Build a model of a seed of your choice. Work in pairs Be prepared to share your model with another group.

  10. National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996) “Inquiry into authentic questions generated from student experiences is the central strategy for teaching science.” BS618 goals • Root your classroom science investigations in real world activities and collaboration • Explore data, visualization tools, analysis tools and other resources for structured, yet open-ended investigations • Learn and share strategies for supporting and assessing student investigations

  11. National Science Education Standards (NRC, 1996) “Science often is a collaborative endeavor, and all science depends on the ultimate sharing and debating of ideas.” BS618 goals • Develop case materials tailored for your classroom • Root your classroom science investigations in real world activities and collaboration • Access e-science resources to prepare your students with 21st Century skills

  12. National Standards supporting inquiry (investigative case)s in the science classroom: http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=4962&page=113

  13. CHANGING EMPHASES TO PROMOTE INQUIRY

  14. Assessment of students' skills in identifying questions, resources, investigative methodologies and argumentation as well as their knowledge of the science concepts will be evidenced by: As students develop and . . . understand more science concepts and processes, their explanations should become more sophisticated . . . frequently include a rich scientific knowledge base, evidence of logic, higher levels of analysis, greater tolerance of criticism and uncertainty. http://www.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=4962&page=117
