  1. NISMEC The Northern Indiana Science, Mathematics and Engineering Collaborative (our 8th year) Gordon Berry, Joe Bellina, Karen Morris Forum – 23 Feb 2013 Website: www.nd.edu/~nismec/nismec11.htm Email: hgberry@nd.edu Funding support: IN-DOE - Math Science Partnership ICHE – Improving Teacher Quality Siemens Foundation – SOW, Teacher Fellowships University of Notre Dame The American Physical Society

  2. Professional Development Program in Modeling in Indiana in Physics, Chemistry and Biology Summer 2013 workshop schedule 1. Notre Dame modeling workshops 2. Hammond/East Chicago/Gary modeling workshops Applications: Fill in form (at NISMEC lunch-table) Or NISMEC website nd.edu/~nismec/nismec11.htm

  3. What do we mean by “Models”? MULTIPLE! Picture Concept Or idea *Modeling in physics & Chemistry as developed at Arizona State University The American Modeling Association – AMTA - http://modelinginstruction.org/

  4. Why Models? • Models are basic units of knowledge • In all Science Research: • A few basic models are used again and again with only minor modifications. • Models help students connect • Macroscopic observations • Sub-microscopic representations • Symbolic representations The students become SCIENTISTS – learning by DOING

  5. The NGSS’s Framework of Scientific and Engineering Practices 1. Asking questions & defining problems 2. Developing & using models 3. Planning& carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing & interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations & designing solutions 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, & communicating information

  6. Let’s Do! Let’s Measure! Let’s Communicate! Tell your neighbor about one measurement you have made today… (2 minutes!) Was it Quantitative? Did you LEARN? Did you enjoy DOING it? Does this happen in your classroom?

  7. BIOLOGY: Themes and story development See NISMEC website for teachers’ guides to the 9 UNITS: nd.edu/~nismec/nismec11.htm

  8. Other NISMEC Summer 2013 Workshops Middle-school teachers At Notre Dame: Serenevy, Kurowski, others Science and Math 5/6th grades 17-28 June – 2 weeks At IUSB (and at sites): Terri Hebert Environmental Explorations 4/8th grades 15 – 19 July – 1 week Middle school students At Notre Dame: Sensing Our World – Loughran and others (each 1 week) SOW: Measuring the Cosmos - here and everywhere 8-12 & 15-19 July At SBCSC – Three one-week science & math workshops One each in June, July, August – dates/places to be determined Applications, more information at the NISMEC website….

  9. Inquiring minds want to know different answers to the same question: In Science, in Literature, and in Life The Essential ABCs AlwaysBeConversing AlwaysBeConnecting AlwaysBuildCompetence

  10. Learning Play Research INQUIRY Quality Intellectual Work Every child is a scientist at play: Wondering and problem-solving about how the world works. Every scientist/teacher was (is?) a child at play.
