Remember…..
• It’s about the science program and how to improve it….not targeting teachers.
• Another round of observations will be scheduled in the future.

ORQ Scoring
![Page 10: Partnering to Progress K-5 Science Alliance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813929550346895da0d0e6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Guidelines for Today
• We will be working in 3 groups grading 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade ORQs.
• Before grading, write the answer to each question you’ve been assigned. This will help you to trouble shoot the question.
• As a group, develop a scoring guide.
• Begin grading.
• Transfer scores to student roster.

Scoring Guide Rules of Thumb
• 4—All parts correct; insightful and/or elaborated descriptions/explanations
• 3—All parts correct
• 2—something has to be correct in every part of the question (A, B, C)—this is not a 50-50 determination
• 1—something has to be correct
• 0—Nothing is correct

Ready, Set, Science!
![Page 13: Partnering to Progress K-5 Science Alliance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813929550346895da0d0e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Learning Targets
• I can categorize misconceptions by the type of conceptual change they require.
• I can use misconceptions types to inform instructional decisions.

Reciting interesting facts, especially about dinosaurs….and “knowing” a
lot is helpful for playing Trivial Pursuit…it hardly constitutes
knowing or understanding science.Powerful Learning pg. 156

Knowing vs. Understanding
• What’s the difference between knowing science and understanding science?
• What do our standards suggest we should strive for through our teaching?
• Complete the comparison frame for knowing and understanding.
• How would you explain conceptual change?
![Page 16: Partnering to Progress K-5 Science Alliance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813929550346895da0d0e6/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
A and B are similar because they both

Curricular questions to ask yourself….
• How do I organize instruction?
• How do I use misconceptions, prior knowledge and things that are problematic for students?
![Page 18: Partnering to Progress K-5 Science Alliance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813929550346895da0d0e6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Begin with Misconceptions
• Activate, don’t ignore prior ideas. • Realize that students have notions about
how the world works that make sense to them, but does not agree with scientific explanations.
• Recognize that teaching for understanding requires conceptual knowledge that is organized in a schema, not unconnected knowledge.

Creating Conceptual Change
• Research has shown that a simple “confront-and-replace” model of science learning does not allow deep understanding of science content. (Strike & Posner, 1982)
• This only works about 5% of the time. (Chinn & Brewer, 2001)
• Real conceptual change requires that deeper reorganizations of knowledge occur.

Conceptual Change• Using the section “Types of Conceptual Change” in Ready,
Set, Science! (pp. 42-43),create a chart, diagram, or description to help you understand the difference between the 3 types of conceptual change.
• Working with a partner, categorize each misconception concerning properties of matter based on the type of conceptual change it may require. – What criteria did you use to decide which category a misconception
might be placed?– How will this categorization help inform instructional decisions?– How will this improve student understanding?
• How did the teacher in the vignette use this knowledge to address misconceptions about the properties of gases and air pressure?

Take Home Message
• Instruction has to be adjusted when confronted with different levels of conceptual difficulty.
• Merely telling students the correct answer or having them read about it will seldom, if ever, help to develop deep conceptual understanding.
• Conceptual change requires time—some more than others.

Learning Targets
• I can identify properties of an object that are useful for predicting and/or determining if that object will float or sink in water.
• I can distinguish between mass and weight.
• I can use measured values of solids and liquids to determine their density.
• I can distinguish characteristic from noncharacteristic properties.
![Page 24: Partnering to Progress K-5 Science Alliance](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070402/56813929550346895da0d0e6/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Floating and Sinking
• Work through the three different activities with your tablemates – I. Sorting, II. Balancing/determining weight, III. Dividing and calculating density
• Record your ideas, information, data in your notebook or on the activity handout.
• When you come to a “check,” prepare your response as a group, then raise your hand to “check your ideas with a facilitator.”

Floating Logs
A log was cut from a tree and put in water. The log floated on its side so that half the log was above the water surface. Another log was cut from the same tree. This log was twice as long and twice as wide. How does the larger log float compared with the smaller log?
• A—More than half of the larger log floats above the water surface
• B—Half of the larger log floats above the water surface.
• C—Less than half of the larger log floats above the water surface.
• Explain your thinking and describe the “rule” you used for your answer.
