NGSS IMPLEMENTATION

GRADES 3-5

Presenters: • Madelon Cheatham• Stephen Brodie

Norms….

Please share your thoughts! Snacks/coffee Morning and afternoon break Lunch on your own Laptops closed until needed Cell phones off/silent

Yesterday….

Development of the Framework Architecture of the Framework Science and Engineering Practices Disciplinary Core Ideas Cross-cutting Concepts Implementation Timeline

Reflections

Reflection…

Draw a card from the stack Answer in writing Read your reflection to the group Other group members add their ideas

When everyone is finished, decide on 3 main ideas/concerns to present to the room.

Today…3 Lessons in Grade Band 3-5

Air and Mass Weather and Climate Ecosystem in Balance

Goals…Compare each lesson to the K-12 Science Education Framework Determine the Grade-level End-Points for

each lesson Evaluate evidence for Science Practices

and Cross-cutting Concepts in the lesson Determine additional practices and

concepts that should be added to the lesson.

Suggest ways to adapt the lesson to the NGSS goals.

Lesson Plan Format - 5E

Engage: generate interest (short section) Explore: lab, inquiry, discovery etc. Explain: students describe their

understandings Elaborate: build understanding/related

learning Evaluation: assessment of learning

Earth Science Lesson

Engage: Video


Explore: Seismic Times

Group exploration and data collection

from earthquake news articles.


Explore: Seismic Times Instructions: Read a news article Highlight qualitative and quantitative data Describe the data to your group All members create one data chart


Explain: Seismic Times Data Table

Questions: • Do you notice similarities or inconsistencies in the

data?• Is there anything that seems unusual?• Can you think of reasons that could explain any

differences you noticed?• What other questions could you ask/research that

might provide evidence for your reasoning?

Data Table


Elaborate:

Focus Questions: • Should more precautions related to

earthquakes be taken in some areas of the world?

• What could you do to determine if some areas have higher seismic risk?


Elaborate: Earthquake Distribution Activity

Location of earthquakes on a world

map and discussion of distribution.

Crustal Plate Map

Earth Science Lesson Elaborate: Discussion Questions

• Do you notice any patterns related to locations of earthquakes?

• What other information might be helpful in determining if there is a pattern?

• How do you think scientists might have created the plate boundary map?

• How can information about the location of earthquakes help us in protecting populations from the hazards of earthquakes? Seismology

Map


Extend: Earthquake Proof Buildings

Design a building and evaluate its ability to withstand a simulated

earthquake.


Earthquake Shake Table


Building Design

Testing



The student groups create a visual poster:

Including: design drawing, weaknesses of the design, strengths of the design, suggested modifications.



The class agrees on building codes:

The structures and specifications that produced the most earthquake proof

building are incorporated and buildings are redesigned if time permits.


Correlations to Science and Engineering Practices and Cross-cutting Concepts are listed on page 1 of the lesson.

Record the letter or number on the lesson plan where you find evidence of these correlations.

Whole group discussion of correlations.

Wrap- up

How well does this lesson correlate to the expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards?

What additions or substitutions might strengthen this lesson?

All of this afternoon’s lessons can be found at http://stemlessons.org

The lessons follow the 5E Model, but today is about understanding the NGSS.

Air and Mass Lesson

Spend 10 minutes browsing the lesson.

Air and Mass Lesson

Use the following focus areas to review Air and Mass in your groups.Current Ar. Science Standards Notice the NGSS Grade Band Endpoints.View the Draft NGSS for the objectives.View the Practices and Cross-Cutting

Concepts.Notice the ELA, Math and other “links” of

commonality

Practices and Crosscutting Concepts are listed below each “E”.Are they correct? How do the activities in each “E” relate to the

grade bands? Does the activity in this grade level also

contribute to grade band endpoints in other grades?

Air and Mass Lesson

5.SPM Structure, Properties, and Interaction of Matter

Draft NGSSPage 23

Weather and Climate Lesson

Spend 10 minutes to conduct a brief overview of the lesson.

Review the Crosscutting Concepts. Groups review the lesson for the Practices

assigned by the presenter. Present findings on poster paper. Conduct gallery walk and discuss.


Which new K-12 Framework Grade 5 Endpoints are present?


Although this is a grade 4 lesson using the current Arkansas Science Framework, the Draft NGSS does not have this as a standard.

3.WCI Weather, Climate, and Impacts

Ecosystems in Balance

Spend 10 minutes to conduct a brief overview of the lesson.

Review the Science/Engineering Practices. Groups review the lesson for the

Crosscutting Concepts assigned by the presenter.

Present findings on poster paper. Conduct gallery walk and discuss.
