Closer Look at a Performance Expectation

MS-PS1 Matter and Its Interactions Students who demonstrate understanding can:

MS-PS1-d. Develop molecular models of reactants and products to support the explanation that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved in a chemical reaction. [Clarification Statement: Models can include physical

models and drawings that represent atoms rather than symbols. The focus is on law of conservation of matter.] [Assessment Boundary: The use of atomic masses is not required. Balancing symbolic equations (e.g. N2 + H2 -> NH3) is not required.]

The performance expectations above were developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:

Science and Engineering Practices Disciplinary Core Ideas Crosscutting Concepts Developing and Using Models Modeling in 6–8 builds on K–5 and progresses to developing, using and revising models to support explanations, describe, test, and predict more abstract phenomena and design systems.

Use and/or develop models to predict, describe,

support explanation, and/or collect data to test ideas

about phenomena in natural or designed systems,

including those representing inputs and outputs, and

those at unobservable scales. (MS-PS1-a),

(MS-PS1-c), (MS-PS1-d)

---------------------------------------------

Connections to Nature of Science Science Models, Laws, Mechanisms, and Theories Explain Natural Phenomena

Laws are regularities or mathematical descriptions

of natural phenomena. (MS-PS1-d)

PS1.B: Chemical Reactions

Substances react chemically in

characteristic ways. In a chemical

process, the atoms that make up the

original substances are regrouped into

different molecules, and these new

substances have different properties

from those of the reactants.

(MS-PS1-d), ( MS-PS1-e), (MS-PS1-f)

The total number of each type of atom

is conserved, and thus the mass does

not change. (MS-PS1-d)

Energy and Matter

Matter is conserved because

atoms are conserved in physical

and chemical processes.

(MS-PS1-d)

Note: Performance expectations combine practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts into a single statement of what is to be assessed.

20

NGSS Crosscutting Concepts • Patterns • Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation • Scale, proportion, and quantity • Systems and system models

• Energy and matter: flows, cycles, conservation. Tracking fluxes of energy and matter into, out of, and within systems helps one understand the systems’ possibilities and limitations.

• Structure and function • Stability and change

21

What’s the Big Deal?

• Why do we single out matter and energy as uniquely important concepts.

• Matter and energy conservation make it possible to TRACE MATTER AND ENERGY:

– At different scales, from subatomic to universal

– Through all kinds of systems: physical, living, Earth, technological systems

– While engaging in many practices: explaining, predicting, modeling, designing, investigating

29

Conservation Laws are RULES

An example from biology:

What’s wrong with this sentence?

Breathing converts O2 to CO2. A scientifically literate person knows instantly that a rule has been broken so that this is not a correct scientific sentence.

Where did the carbon come from?

How Many of These Statements about a Burning Match are True?

TRUE FALSE

Some of the wood is converted to heat and light energy when the match burns.

The WOOD of the match is destroyed when it burns.

The MOLECULES of the wood are destroyed when it burns.

The ATOMS of the wood are destroyed when it burns.

The MASS of the wood is destroyed when it burns.

40

How Many of These Statements about a Burning Match are True?

TRUE FALSE

Some of the wood is converted to heat and light energy when the match burns. ✔

The WOOD of the match is destroyed when it burns. ✔

The MOLECULES of the wood are destroyed when it burns. ✔

The ATOMS of the wood are destroyed when it burns. ✔

The MASS of the wood is destroyed when it burns. ✔

41

Matter and Energy in a Hierarchy of Systems

Subatomic models of chemical properties and chemical change (e.g., describing chemical changes in terms of energy states of valence electrons)

42

Matter and Energy in a Hierarchy of Systems

Subatomic models of nuclear change.

• Atoms are not conserved

• Number of protons + neutrons is conserved

• Large energy changes

43

Tracing Matter and Energy as Essential Practices

What makes this hard to understand?

– Matter-energy conversion

– Using matter and scale words correctly

44

E = mc2 as a Fudge Factor

Examples:

• The burning match loses mass because some of its mass is converted to energy.

• Exercise helps us lose weight by burning off fat as energy.

• Cellular respiration converts glucose to ATP.

• Gasoline is converted to the kinetic energy of a moving car.

45

Using Matter and Scale Words Correctly

In physical changes:

• VOLUME is not conserved

• MASS, SUBSTANCES, MOLECULES, and ATOMS are conserved

In chemical changes:

• VOLUME, SUBSTANCES, and MOLECULES are not conserved

• ATOMS and MASS are conserved

46

Pause for Questions and Discussion

47

Topics for Today’s Webinar

1. Tracing matter and energy across practices and disciplines.

2. Learning progressions: What we are learning about how students’ ideas about matter and energy can develop.

a. Overview of learning progressions

b. Discourse, knowledge, and practice at different levels: elementary, middle school, high school

3. Teaching students to trace matter and energy.

48

Definitions • Learning progressions are descriptions of

increasingly sophisticated ways of reasoning about a topic

• A learning progression includes:

– A learning progression framework, describing levels of achievement

– Assessment tools that reveal students’ reasoning

– Teaching tools and strategies that help students make transitions from one level to the next

49

Assessment Example: EatBreathe Question

• Humans must eat and breathe in order to live and grow. Are eating and breathing related to each other? (Circle one) YES NO

• If you circled “Yes” explain how eating and breathing are related. If you circled “No” then explain why they are not related. Give as many details as you can.

50

What Order Should These Responses Go In? K: Yes. They are related because the energy made from the cells

respiration can then be used to break down 'food" such as sugars. You can find other ways to breakdown food, but without the help of ATP from cellular respiration the rate would drastically decrease.

L: Yes. They are related because eating allows metabolic processes to work inside the body and breathing allows processes that need oxygen and food to function properly.

M: Yes. When you eat the food gets broken down and put into your bloodstream and brought to cells that need energy. The oxygen you breathe in breaks down the high energy bonds in the food.

From least to most sophisticated:

A: KLM B: LKM C: MLK D: LMK E: Other

51

What Progresses?

• Discourse: how we use language to describe and explain the world

• Practices: scientific practices and their precursors

• Knowledge: crosscutting concepts, disciplinary core ideas, and their precursors

52

Discourse: Learning Science Is Like Learning a Second Language

• Everyday (force-dynamic) discourse: This is everyone’s “first language” that we have to master in order to speak grammatical English (or French, Spanish, Chinese, etc.)

• Scientific discourse: This is a “second language” that is powerful for analyzing the material world

• We often have the illusion of communication because speakers of these languages use the same words with different meanings (e.g., energy, matter, weight, material, etc.)

53

Learning Progression for a Michigan Food Chain

Black Medick

Rabbit

Coyote

Death and decomposition

54

Typical Elementary Student Account of the Food Chain: Everyday Discourse

• This is a story about actors—the rabbit and coyote—and their needs: – Food: Is necessary for growth, but is not the materials

that animals are made of. You are NOT what you eat.

– Water

– Air

• The plant is there for the rabbit to eat, but it has a purpose in life, too—to grow

• Explanations focus on why the plants and animals act as they do, not tracing matter or energy

55

People & animals

People & animals

• This is really about actors (especially people) and their actions. • Cycles are sequences of events, not tracing matter or energy. • Actors need food, water, air (but not because they are matter). • Energy causes events to happen, especially life.

Learners’ Accounts: “Matter and Energy Cycles” Matter: Green Arrows Energy: Red Arrows

56

Important Learning about Tracing Matter in Elementary School

• More successful in simpler physical systems than in living and Earth systems

• Matter: – Distinguishing matter (solids, liquids, gases) from

non-matter (e.g., heat, light, temperature)

– Measuring amount of matter (weight/mass, volume, density)

– Tracing matter through physical changes

• Energy: Wait until middle school

57

Typical Middle/High School Account of the Food Chain

• Lots of facts about organisms, cells, and molecules – Not always correct

– Facts about different scales (macrosopic, microscopic, atomic molecular) can be mixed up

– Matter and energy conservation are facts rather than rules

• Large-scale connections: matter and energy cycles – Food chain as flow of matter or energy (matter and energy

both recycle)

– Still separate nutrient and O2-CO2 cycles

– Animals, decomposers, combustion all require food/fuel and O2 and produce CO2

58

Middle/High School: Nutrient and O2-CO2 Cycles

59

NGSS Account of the Food Chain • Macroscopic scale: Rabbit, coyote, medick, and

decomposers all are systems that chemically transform matter and energy – Matter and energy endure while systems are

temporary (vs. matter and energy as temporary enablers)

– Gases and chemical energy fully recognized

• Large-scale connections: the carbon cycle – Matter cycles, with the most important matter cycle

being the carbon cycle: CO2 and H2O to biomass and O2

– Energy flows: sunlight to chemical energy to motion and heat

60

NGSS: Scientific Account of Carbon Cycling and Energy Flow

61

What Order Should These Responses Go In? K: Yes. They are related because the energy made from the cells’

respiration can then be used to break down 'food" such as sugars. You can find other ways to breakdown food, but without the help of ATP from cellular respiration the rate would drastically decrease. Mid-level: Identifies key process without successfully tracing matter or energy.

L: Yes. They are related because eating allows metabolic processes to work inside the body and breathing allows processes that need oxygen and food to function properly. Lowest level: Cause and effect without trying to trace matter or energy.

M: Yes. When you eat the food gets broken down and put into your bloodstream and brought to cells that need energy. The oxygen you breathe in breaks down the high energy bonds in the food. Highest level: Tracing both matter and energy.

62

63

Learning Progressions and Scale

Scale Forms of Matter Forms of Energy

64

Learning Progressions and Scale

• Elementary: Mostly macroscopic

• Middle school: Macroscopic connected to atomic-molecular and larger systems

• High school: Connections across scales, from nuclear to solar system and beyond

65

Pause for Questions and Discussion

66

Topics for Today’s Webinar

1. Tracing matter and energy across practices and disciplines.

2. Learning progressions: What we are learning about how students’ ideas about matter and energy can develop.

3. Teaching students to trace matter and energy.

a. Conservation laws as rules to follow

b. Inquiry into tracing matter and energy

c. Connecting scales: Modeling matter and energy

67

Teaching Conservation Rules

Three facts about atoms: 1. Atoms last forever. Atoms are never created or

destroyed in physical or chemical changes. 2. Atoms make up the mass of all materials. 3. Atoms are bonded to other atoms in molecules. Two facts about energy: 1. Energy lasts forever. Energy is never created or

destroyed in physical or chemical changes. 2. Energy can be transformed from one form to

another.

68

Using Facts about Atoms and Energy

• Your explanations and predictions MUST use what we know about matter and energy—you have to follow the rules!

• We can use these facts to interpret what we observe during inquiry activities.

69

Tracing Matter and Energy in Inquiry

Investigation tools:

1) Weight before and after a process

2) Bromothymol blue (BTB)

Soda water fizzing on a scale

Turns from blue to yellow in the presence of CO2

70

Inquiry: Using Evidence to Trace Matter and Energy

This kind of evidence….

Changes in mass…

Chemical indicators such as BTB…

Temperature changes, light, motion…

….tells you about:

…movement of matter. If mass changes, atoms MUST be moving.

…chemical changes—atoms rearranging into new molecules.

…energy transformations. Energy MUST have changed from one form to another.

Tracing Matter and Energy through Photosynthesis

• Tracing matter:

– Molecular modeling: rearranging atoms into new molecules

– Balancing chemical equations is a way of tracing atoms: 6H2O + 6CO2 C6H12O6 + 6O2

• Tracing energy:

– Twist ties represent “units” of energy

– Represent chemical energy by attaching twist ties to high energy (C-C and C-H) bonds
