  1. Project: Roots, Bark and Branches An Experience In Science Ida Ford, Principal, Burton Elementary School, Fort Bend ISD Kyella Griffin, Science Specialist, Burton Elementary School, Fort Bend ISD

  2. Roots The part of a plant that has no leaves or buds and usually spreads underground, anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.

  3. Roots • Demographics (Title I) • PEG/TAT Team • Data • Accountability and Monitoring (T.I.G.E.R Talks) • Data Teams • Plans for Success ( Resources)

  4. Bark The rough outer covering of the woody stems of trees or bushes

  5. Bark • Teacher Open House • Professional Development Opportunities in Science • Science Lesson Planning Sessions • Science Presentations at Faculty Meetings • Data Teams Focused on Science • Science Intervention

  6. Bark • “Can I Have the Math & Science Combo Please?” (An Integrated Approach to Math & Science) • Content-Based Newsletters for Teachers • Science-Based Field Trips • Math & Science Camp • MAD Science • Vocabulary Challenge

  7. Bark • Crocodile Encounter • Tutorials • Science Fair • Increased Opportunities for Utilization of Technology in Science • T2 (Science Strategy) • D.U.M.P

  8. Bark WBE Science Strategy “T2” 1. Read the question and answer choices carefully. 2. Re-write the question…put it in your own words. 3. Label the diagram. If there isn’t one draw it! 4. T2 T=Title the diagram. T=Tie it to what you already know. 5. Reread the question and answer choices. 6. Prove each option right or wrong. Justify it! 7. Answer the question.
