Presentation Transcript

  1. Agenda • Opening activity (15 min) • I-AIM • Revisit framework (15 min) • Sound activities (30 min) • Discussion (20 min) • Literacy Integration • Texts in the classroom • Scientist cocktail party

  2. Quick check in…. On wiki posts I’ve noticed folks are falling behind… These should be easy and fun and get you ready for the class each week. They also help me tailor my plan to your questions and needs. So, how do I make this process better for you? Don’t forget each wiki post = 1 point towards your final grade!

  3. Big questions of the day (continued from last week) • How do children learn science? • How should we teach science?

  4. How do Children Learn Science? Research shows that elementary science students develop a conceptual understanding of science concepts and big ideas when theydoscience. They also develop and practice science process skills when they do science.

  5. A few explanations Dozens of patterns in experience Millions of experiences in the material world Experiences Patterns Explanations Inquiry: Learning from Experience Application: Using Knowledge Figuring out what that doing means Doing science Scientists’ Science

  6. A few explanations Dozens of patterns in experience Millions of experiences in the material world I-AIM I – Inquiry A - Application I - Instructional M - Model Inquiry: Learning from Experience Application: Using Knowledge Why do you think we call our instructional model I-AIM??

  7. Inquiry and Application Instructional Model Inquiry Application

  8. Ideally during a science unit you will bring your students through one or more I-AIM cycles. • Not all individuals lessons will have all 4 components of the I-AIM model - some lessons may cover only one aspect, some may cover more or even all 4 • Lessons should be sequenced to bring students through the complete I-AIM cycle. • When you plan a lesson you should think about the “strategic function” of your lesson: • Question • Explore & Investigate • Explain • Apply

  9. Inquiry and Application Instructional Model Inquiry

  10. Experiences: Question • How would you describe sound to a Martian? • How does the sound you make get from you to your friends ear? Share your ideas with a partner. Make a small poster that answers your questions!

  11. Inquiry and Application Instructional Model Inquiry

  12. Experiences: Explore and Investigate In groups, rotate across each of the “noise and vibration stations” • Station 1: telephone • Station 2: hanger • Station 3: drums • Station 4: Adams Apple • Station 5: Vvvvvvvvvv Make as many observations as you can about noise and vibration. Record them on your experiences and observation sheets at each station.

  13. What patterns and connections do we notice between our results and observations?

  14. What is Science? “the process of looking for patterns in experiences and then testing and re-testing possible explanations that account for those patterns. These explanations are then applied to help to explain additional experiences.”

  15. Explanations • Return to your poster you made at the beginning. Revise it based on your experiences today. • Include: • A description of what sound is (that makes sense of a 2nd grader). • 2 or 3 pieces of evidence with explanation • A question you are wondering about

  16. Sound – Apply to New ContextExplain what is happening: How do Echos Work?

  17. Inquiry and Application Instructional Model Inquiry Application

  18. Questions

  19. Scientist Cocktail Party! • Get into children’s literature and Learn about a Scientist! • Mingle around the classroom as your scientist. • Tell others about who you are: • Where did you live? • What is your field of expertise? • What are you famous for? • Then, with the whole class: • Share a book that is about you. • What is your favorite part of the book? • How would you use this book in your classroom?

  20. Literacy Integration I have some resources and information on the wiki:

  21. With the other members in your group, review the children’s at your table. • Prepare a brief presentation sharing your book with the class. Share the title, author, and discuss: • Would you use this book with your class? What age group? How would you use it in the classroom? • What specific concepts are addressed in your book? (show examples using the document camera!) • What activities, demonstrations or lessons might be paired with this book? What learning goals would they address? • What opportunities to integrate other content areas are found in this book?
