  1. Science Curriculum Topic Study Bridging the Gap Between Standards and Practice Hierarchy of Content Knowledge, Science

  2. Who’s in the Room?

  3. 3 Goals for Today • (Review) Review Curriculum Topic Study (CTS) as a tool you can use to connect standards and research on learning to classroom practice. • (Explore)Examine a scaffold that helps “unpack” a concept. • (Apply) Consider ways CTS can help inform the writing of essential questions.

  4. (Re)Introduction to CTS “I got you a bunch of stuff- this is just the tip of the iceberg!”

  5. Elbow Partner Talk What does it mean to unpack a concept? What’s the purpose?

  6. Practice Unpacking • Topic = properties of matter • Concept = characteristic properties of matter • Building our common understanding: “Characteristic properties” • Card sort: arrange in a hierarchy, using colored strips as organizers. As you sort, discuss, justify how you are deciding which card goes where

  7. Choose Your Own Topic • Find a CTS guide related to your topic. • Pick one single concept (Scan CTS III to choose a concept). • Using the Guiding Questions and Hierarchy Scaffold, unpack the concept. (Use CTS Section III for specific ideas) • Once the concept is unpacked to “Facts and Terminology”, build it up to a “Big Idea” and “Unifying Concept or Idea”. • Prepare a chart to share with the group.

  8. Reflections on Your Learning • Write down one new insight and one question generated by this session. • Share your thinking with your table group.

  9. Any Burning Questions?
