Is it Innovative?

Learning Intentions/Targets/Goals

1. Recognize the innovations of the 2013 Washington State Science Learning Standards (Next Generation Science Standards).

2. Identify and select one or more formative assessment strategies to implement in the classroom.

What it is…• An attempt at 3-

Dimensional instruction

• A model of a process or set of strategies

• For an adult learning experience

What it is not…• The perfect example of

3-Dimensional instruction

• An activity to be done with students as is

Construct a Scientific Explanation

What Might a Rubric Look Like for this Scientific Explanation?

How is the Evidence Statement for a Scientific Explanation organized?

How is the Evidence Statement for Developing and Using a Scientific Model organized?

Let’s Take a Stretch …. And Talk.

1. Find a partner from another group.

2. Revisit & review the Evidence Statement for Modeling.

3. Use the “Present an Idea” discussion card to make an observation about the MS-PS4-Evidence Statement.

Was Today 3D?

What evidence supports your claim?

Was Today Innovative?

Was Today Innovative?1. K–12 science education reflects three-dimensional learning.

2. Students engage in explaining phenomena and designing solutions.

3. The NGSS incorporate engineering design and the nature of science as SEPs and CCCs.

4. SEPs, DCIs, and CCCs build coherent learning progressions from kindergarten to grade 12.

5. The NGSS connect to English language arts (ELA) and mathematics.

6. Provision of supports so that all students can engage in sophisticated science and engineering practices.

Learning Intentions/Targets/Goals

1. Recognize the innovations of the 2013 Washington State Science Learning Standards (Next Generation Science Standards).

2. Identify and select one or more formative assessment strategies to implement in the classroom.
