Looking back and looking forward 29 April 2013 Final Session
Modeling & Scaffolding Writing in Science in Action, Betsy Fulwiler • Lesson on Animals • Fair test designed with children • Intensive language instruction DURING science • Please take notes & think about….
While you watch… • What visual and oral scaffolding does this teacher use to support students’ language development? • How does the teacher embed the language instruction naturally within the science and science-writing instruction?
What did you notice? • Vocabulary • Language Structure • Grouping students • Discussions • Journal entries What approaches and strategies from the video can you apply to your classroom?
Looking back… • What I’ve learned from BIM • What I do differently when planning or teaching because of BIM • What I notice about my students and their learning because of BIM • What our grade-level team does differently because of BIM…
Looking forward… • What do you want to continue to do? • How can you work across schools to support each other? • How can we use BLOG and networking? • What can Maryville do to help? • What can SLPS do to help? • See you May 16, 4:30-6, Rigazzi’s
Looking back and looking forward 29 April 2013 Final Session
What is a tree? How do plants and humans interact? How do living things interact with non-living things? Meet YOUR tree; be a good steward
The difference between a scientist and a tourist is that a scientist has a notebook.
There is no such thing as a vegetable
Survival first, procreation second. That's it. Plants do not eat...they make their sugar! Wet and sticky means fertile in most species.... Plants get hormonal too. Flowers are promiscuous.
All life comes from the sea. Dirt is soil that is out of place.
How to make our garden more welcoming for native species Bees Pollinator webs Native Wasp homes
What’s below our feet? How does water move and shape the earth? Table-top streams and water cycle game Soils and soil tests Visit the cave, sugar cube caves
Where does water in our schoolyard go? • Cycles: hydrosphere, lithosphere, atmosphere • How does water move and shape the earth? • Table-top streams and water cycle game • Soils and soil tests
Making the shift…. From planning & seeing teaching…… … to shaping & promoting thinking
Connect with what is real in learner’s lives---Great learning is often fun!
Use real objects Make it hands on Let the students lead
Learning is not a one step process Use assessments that show more
Help students make a fair test Animals must have choice
Think about the Science Process Skills: It’s what the students do that make it DOK 4 Dr. S. Raney
Reminders from Dr. Krakos Science is a how; Faith / religion is a why. Individuals do not evolve; Evolution is driven by death. Be a good mammal on the planet.
To make an end is to make a beginning….. We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time.
