What does effective science instruction look like? • Engage • Question, discussion, activity, uncover ideas (Discovery and PBS Learning) • Explore • Lab activities (Essential Lab/hands-on investigations, Gizmos) • Explain • Conclusion writing/lab report, C-E-R, discussion, Notebooks/Journals • Elaborate • Discussion, real-world connections • Evaluate: formative and summative by benchmark Department of Mathematics and Science
Jumbled Planets: How do scientists classify objects in the solar system? • As a class make groups of the astronomical bodies. • Write the characteristics that each member of the group has in common. Department of Mathematics and Science

Conclusion Writing Claim-Evidence-Reasoning • Students should support their own written claims with appropriate justification. • Science education should help prepare students for this complex inquiry practice where students seek and provide evidence and reasons for ideas or claims (Driver, Newton and Osborne, 2000). Department of Mathematics and Science
How do scientists classify objects in the solar system ? Claim Evidence Reasoning
Common Core Benchmarks in the Science Curriculum Department of Mathematics and Science
Activate Prior Knowledge! Handout • Hook Question: How do scientists discover new planets outside of our solar system (exoplanets)? • Predictive Written Response to Complex Text-Based Question: How are these exoplanets similar and different to the planets in our solar system? • Vocabulary Front-Loading • Text Marking (Reading #1): • An active reading strategy that helps students focus and isolate essential information in a text, improving their comprehension and retention of reading material. • Directed Note-Taking (Reading #2) • First draft written response to essential question
Revolution Definition of Revolution (n) • The movement of one object around another object. Department of Mathematics and Science
Vocabulary Front-loading Independently, identify/highlight/underline words that are unfamiliar to you. Department of Mathematics and Science
Pearson Digital Content Reading Coach P 1 P 2 P 3 P 4 P 5
Science News for Kids P 2 P 3
Vocabulary Front-loading • Vocabulary Instruction • Direct students to locate words introduced in the text by paragraph number. • Model for students how to derive word meaning(s) from word parts (prefix, root, suffix) and/or context. • Record meanings of word parts and words on word wall, journal, etc.
Text Marking S D P 2 P 3 S – this section of text shows similarity to the planets in the solar system D – this section of text shows a difference in the planets in the solar system
Handout Directed Note-Taking Present a guiding question to direct student thinking while taking notes. Teacher models note-taking with some examples from the text, and selects the category or categories that the statement supports. Students complete note-taking collaboratively or independently.
Directed Note-Takingwith video Handout
In small groups, take positions and discuss which factor is most significant/impactful (based on the text), and come to consensus. • Count number of groups that selected each category. • Count number of individuals that selected each category. • 3) After hearing discussion and text-based evidence, did you change your mind? New independent vote! (Modification - Four Corners)
Question Generation Purpose: To provide students with a demonstration of question generation and the opportunity for them to interact with the text by generating questions to further deepen their comprehension. • Generate questions unanswered from your first text reading. Record your questions on your Student Question Generation paper as you work in pairs or small groups. In your groups, select one question and place on grid at front of room in appropriate category.
Purpose: To provide opportunities for students to interact with the text and with their peers to: • identify text information most significant to the final/essential question. • facilitate complex thinking and deep comprehension of text. After the final discussion, answer the following question on your handout: According to the text and extended text discussion, which factors affect the type of planets in the different solar systems and how they behave? How does scientific research impact society? Department of Mathematics and Science Final Response After Rereading and Extended Text Discussion
