Outcomes• Locate the Framework for K-12 Science Education.• Literacy – Explain how science, math and language arts are connected (Activity).•Grade level collaboration – identify interconnections among science, math, and language arts using the CCRS.
Understanding the Framework
Guiding principles of The Framework are research-based and include…
Framework Recommendations
5
A Few Principles of The Framework
Children are born investigators
Connect to students’ prior experience
Focus on core ideas and practices
Disciplinary Core IdeasPhysical Science
• PS1: Matter and its Interactions• PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and
Interactions• PS3: Energy• PS4: Waves and Their Applications in
Technologies for Information Transfer
Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science
• ETS1: Engineering Design• ETS2: Links Among Engineering,
Technology, Science, and Society

Question:
Can you light up a bulb using batteries and some aluminum foil?
Make a plan:
Write it down.
Test your plan:
Did it work?
No… try again.
Yes…
1. Talk about the results.
2. Have one person in the group write about the procedure used.
Children work together…
Ask questions and define problems
Develop and use models
Plan and carry out investigations
Analyze and interpret data
Use mathematical and computational thinking
Science & Engineering Practices
Look at Connections •Handout - Commonalities Among the Practices: Science, Mathematics, and English Language Arts
Describe how electrical circuits are used to produce light.
Science
Math
ELA
Know relative sizes of measurement units within one system of units.
Explain events in scientific text.
Add, subtract or multiply watts and/or volts.
Identify the main ideas in nonfiction article about energy.
Use batteries, small lights, and other materials to determine which items conduct energy.
Write directions to light a bulb with foil and batteries.
Examples:Energy Related Homework•Read the home gas or electric meter everyday for a week. Calculate usage and compare with classmates. Identify the variables that impact usage.
•Make a floor plan of lights in the house. Write the number of lights in each room. Calculate the wattage if all the lights are:•40 watts•60 watts

Collaboration/Plan Together
•Choose one reading unit.•Locate a science standard to correlate.•Determine a math standard to correlate.
•Make a Venn Diagram with the CCRS shown in each section.
