Daily Log
Author’s Chair
Learned The new science standards that science teachers
will need to follow Ways I might collaborate with content area
teachers Science has specific vocabulary but the concepts
can cross subject areas Vampire blood is easily bought at Party City Blood drops are quite interesting
Learned The connections between science standards and
literacy standards A way to discuss what an engineer does Loved the video How the NGSS connect to the CCCSS How much fun science writing can be in the
context of a science experiment (blood spatter) How important it is just to look again before
writing.
Learned How long 5 minutes feels when looking at a
painting and not writing anything, but how much more you see when you keep looking.
The new demands being placed on the science teachers but feel like it’ll be okay for all involved.
Aout the new science standards—how thry will br used and what the affects may be on teachers
How to use writing in conducting a science experment
Surprises? Questions?
The level of scientific knowledge students will need to learn.
How will teachers adapt their curriculum and their mindset?
When will NGSS be implemented? I was surprised by the amount of detail needed
for clearly written scientific observation. How long 5 minutes is when you are just looking. Yay! I think I have my anthology piece!
Surprises? Questions? Lynne’s demo lesson was fun and engaging and
made me remember doing labs in science.
More? Does Kathy have a favorite flower? If so, what is
it? Strategies for organizing, developing, and
structuring expository writing. I’d love to know if history also has new standards
in addition to the history CCSS standards for writing and reading, and, if so, what they’re like.
Surprises? Questions? How interested I was in understanding the
science standards. I think there is a way to engage students in english using science content using informational texts. I see boys jumping on board.
Goals: Anthology Planning/ Editing Cover? Table of Contents? Formatting?
