  1. Celebration Collaboration & Connections Challenges

  2. Celebration

  3. Collaboration & Connections Three stories from Fermilab

  4. Education Partnerships What do teachers need? How can scientists help? Teachers and Scientists Working Together

  5. What High School Teachers Needed

  6. What Midlevel Teachers Wanted

  7. What Schools Wanted Help evaluating and rewriting curriculum “We have struggled to find a resource to help lead us through this difficult process and have felt frustrated in our attempts to find quality materials.” “Thank you so much for providing schools with such an amazing opportunity to preview materials and become better educated on quality science instruction.”

  8. Challenges Doing science in the classroom* Teaching science to all students* Disaggregating test data *What Scientists Value

  9. Three Things to Remember about Science Science is a way of thinking. People do science. Mathematics is the language of science.

  10. Science is a way of thinking. Ingredients Skepticism Appeal to observation, experiment & testing Openness Falsification Rationality Consensus

  11. People do science. Building detectors - novice and expert

  12. Math is the language of science.

  13. Doing Science in the Classroom It’s not about the content! Making Observations Making Measurements Doing Experiments Working Collaboratively Keeping Records Sharing Information & Knowledge

  14. Math, a Foreign Language in Science Class? Equations? Data collection? not to mention analysis!

  15. Measurement Error!

  16. Keeping Records pdf file: www-ed.fnal.gov/pdf/leo.pdf

  17. Teaching Science to All Students “Everyone needs to use scientific information to make choices that arise every day. “Everyone needs to be able to engage in public discourse and debate about important issues that involve science and technology. “And everyone deserves to share in the excitement and personal fulfillment that can come from understanding and learning about the natural world.” National Science Education Standards

  18. Stem Cells: No Research = No Cure Value of Science in Space? Global Warming, Get real! Sweeping Shift in Forest Policy Who Drained the Everglades?

  19. Shifting Landscapes • Cleaning the Air • Standards for Water • The Use of the Public Land • Finding Energy Sources

  20. “I think of a scientist as very dedicated to his work. He is kind of crazy, talking always quickly. He constantly is getting new ideas. He is always asking questions and can be annoying. He listens to others' ideas and questions them.” Seventh graders describe scientists before & after meeting some. “I know scientists are just normal people with a not so normal job. . . . Scientists lead a normal life outside of being a scientist. They are interested in dancing, pottery, jogging and even racquetball. Being a scientist is just another job which can be much more exciting.”

  21. Stories Feynman and the O Ring Roy Andrews, the Dragon Hunter Bob Wilson before Congress Tom’s friend Bill, the astronomer

  23. Disaggregating Test Data The No Child Left Behind Act - NCLB Disaggregated by: Gender Major racial and ethnic groups English proficiency Migrant status Disability Status as economically disadvantaged

  24. Disaggregating Test Data The No Child Left Behind Act - NCLB Adequate Yearly Progress All students must reach proficiency within 12 years. States must set intermediate goals for yearly progress. Schools that fail to make adequate yearly progress for two years in a row must be identified as in need of improvement.

  25. Disaggregating Test Data The No Child Left Behind Act - NCLB Science Timetable Develop & implement standards by 2005-06 Develop & implement assessments by 2007-08

  26. Collaboration & Connections What do YOU need? How can WE help? Teachers and Scientists Working Together www-ed.fnal.gov/talks/dupage.ppt
