  1. Science and Constructs: Building for Success

  2. Science and Constructs: Building for Success Essential Questions— What is good writing? One answer: Good writing includes sentence variety. How do you create sentence variety using constructs?

  3. Science and Constructs: Building for Success Objective— Students will demonstrate that they can achieve sentence variety through the use of sentence constructs to establish their own writing style and create interest for the reader.

  4. What is a construct?See if you can guess.Check out these pictures…

  5. Take a guess…

  6. Construct Definition: A construct is a PATTERN. What kind of pattern?

  7. A CONSTRUCT is a sentence pattern. You can read them all over town!!

  8. Wait.. You must follow the rules!

  9. Have you ever heard of paint by number?

  10. Paint By Number… Constructs follow a certain order as well… Each construct has a number.

  11. How many constructs, you ask??

  12. Which construct # will be your favorite?

  13. The Process

  14. Like any job… Constructs take time to learn and create. So, let’s get ticking…

  15. Construct # 1 Appositive or Appositive Phrase

  16. Appositive or Appositive Phrase Empedocles, a Greek philosopher, proposed that all matter was made of four “elements”—air, earth, fire, and water. Dr. Mario Molina, a recipient of the Nobel prize in Chemistry, grew up playing with chemistry sets and toy microscopes. One chemical property of iron is that it will combine slowly with oxygen in air to form a different substance, rust. When methane burns, it combines with oxygen in the air and forms new substances, water and carbon dioxide.

  17. Construct # 2 Part A: Series Part B: Coordinate Adjectives

  18. Part A : Series Mario Molina, Sherwood Rowland, and Paul Crutzen won the Nobel prize in Chemistry for their work on chlorofluorocarbons (CFSs) and the ozone layer. Table salt, table sugar, and baking soda are pure substances. Flour, baking powder, milk, eggs, and fruit are not pure substances. Hardness, texture, and color are some other physical properties of matter.

  19. Part B : Coordinate Adjectives Metal becomes a shiny, flexible toy when shaped into a flat wire and coiled.

  20. Construct # 3 Compound Sentences

  21. Compound Sentences Many elements are solids at room temperature, but some are gases or liquids. Elements are the simplest pure substances, and they cannot be broken down into any other substances.

  22. Construct # 4 Part A : Long Introductory Phrase Part B: Introductory Adverbial Clause

  23. Part A : Long Introductory Phrase From 1989 to 2004, Mario was a professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge. To observe the chemical properties of a substance, you must try to change it to another substance.

  24. Part B : Introductory Adverbial Clause As a child growing up in Mexico, Mario Molina enjoyed experimenting with science. If you take a quick look around you, you will see many examples of matter. When liquid water freezes, it changes to solid ice, but it is still water. Even though air and plastic are both matter, no one has to tell you they are different materials.

  25. Construct # 5 Participial Phrase

  26. Participial Phrase Wood fuels a fire, producing heat, gases, and ash. Iron can form rust, turning a once shiny car into a crumbling relic. Using evidence from many experiments, John Dalton began to propose his atomic theory and model for atoms.

  27. Construct # 6 Nonessential Adjective Clause

  28. Nonessential Adjective Clause Metals are also flexible, which means they can be bent into shapes without breaking.

  29. Construct # 7 Parenthetical Expressions

  30. Parenthetical Expressions On the other hand, think about the batter for blueberry muffins. “Very small amounts of CFCs can have very big effects on ozone,”explained Dr. Mario Molina in an interview.

  31. Construct # 8 Direct Address

  32. Direct Address “Dr. Molina, what have you learned from studying about the effects ultraviolet light has on CFCs?”

  33. Construct # 9 Dates and Addresses

  34. Dates and Addresses Mario Molina was born in Mexico City, Mexico. Sharon Middle School is located in Sharon, Massachusetts, adjacent to Route 95.
