  1. New Teacher Orientation Effective Instruction in the Secondary Science Classroom Department of Mathematics and Science and Education Transformation Office

  2. AGENDA • Pre-assessment: “What does good science instruction look like?” • Lab Activity • 5E Model • CER (Strategy to infuse Florida Standards) • Elements of Good Science Instruction • District Resources • Learning Goals • Science NGSSS with Common Core Integration • Science Department Website Overview • Department of Science Personnel Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  3. Norms • Keep an Open Mind • Trust the Process • Try out something new and then reflect • Refrain from Judging • Be Present Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  4. Session Outcomes • Participants will be able to: • Access science instructional resources to support science teaching and learning • Identify effective science teaching and learning • Review content resources available through the District website Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  5. Pre-Assessment • What is Good Science Instruction? • How are you planning to Kick-Off the school year? Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  6. (Engage) • Scientists who analyze samples from outer space are interested in the composition and origin of those samples. Why is this important and how do they determine the composition of these samples? • There are three soil samples to test, from which “planet” is your sample? Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  7. Department of Mathematics and Science (Explore) HOT Lab Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  8. Observation/Data Analysis: Why can sand and salt be separated using this experiment? Why is the salt, sand and water mixture filtered? Why is the salt solution heated? How might the final traces of water be removed from your samples to ensure that they’re totally dry? Give two reasons why the sand you have obtained might still be contaminated with salt. Describe the technique that your team used to remove the iron from the mixture. How could you adapt your experiment to obtain a purer sample of sand? Give two reasons why the salt you have obtained might still be contaminated with sand. How could you adapt your experiment to obtain a purer sample of salt? (Explain) Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  9. Claim – What do you think? Evidence – What supports your claim? (qualitative and/or quantitative data) Reasoning – Use a logical chain that shows how the scientific principle and evidence work together to support the claim. Elaborate/Explain Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  10. What does effective science instruction look like? • Engage • Question, discussion, activity, (Discovery, NBC Learn) • Explore • Lab activities (HOT Labs/hands-on activities, Gizmos) • Explain • Conclusion writing, lab report, discussion, CER, ADI, Notebooks/Journals • Elaborate • Discussion, real-world connections • Evaluate: • Formative and summative by benchmark Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  11. Example 5E Plan Template Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  12. Good Science Instruction • Revisit your answers from the pre-assessment question, at the beginning of our session Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  13. Recommendations • Effective Planning (with the End in Mind) • Knowing the objective of each lesson(course description) • Plan together with teachers of the same subject area • Implement a routine of inquiry based, hands-on activities relevant to the objectives of the topic. • Applying models to formulate solutions to questions • Discovering answers through systematic observations Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  14. Recommendations • Develop Higher-Order Questioning Strategies using Explicit-Reflective instruction to enhance student thinking. • Asking questions about our surroundings • Facilitate, encourage, and expect Higher Order Thinking (HOT) from your students. • Make connections between content learned to real-world events and examples • Encourage students to communicate verbally and in writing. Division of Mathematics and Science 2014

  15. Successful Strategies • The 5 E’s • HOT Questions (Web’s Depth of Knowledge) • Inquiry • Hands-On Activities/Labs • Demonstrations • Virtual Labs • Notebooks • Graphic Organizers • Models & Visuals • Cooperative Learning • Think-Pair-Share • Jigsaw • Centers / Stations • Internet / Video • Differentiated Instruction strategies Division of Mathematics and Science 2014
