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
Earth Science Lesson
Explore: Seismic Times
Group exploration and data collection
from earthquake news articles.
Earth Science Lesson
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
Earth Science Lesson
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
Earth Science Lesson
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?
Earth Science Lesson
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
Earth Science Lesson
Extend: Earthquake Proof Buildings
Design a building and evaluate its ability to withstand a simulated
earthquake.
Earth Science Lesson
Earthquake Shake Table
Earth Science Lesson
Building Design
Testing
Earth Science Lesson
Extend: Earthquake Proof Buildings
The student groups create a visual poster:
Including: design drawing, weaknesses of the design, strengths of the design, suggested modifications.
Earth Science Lesson
Extend: Earthquake Proof Buildings
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.
Earth Science Lesson
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?
BREAK
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.
5E Lesson Model
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

LUNCH
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.
Weather and Climate Lesson
Which new K-12 Framework Grade 5 Endpoints are present?
Weather and Climate Lesson
Although this is a grade 4 lesson using the current Arkansas Science Framework, the Draft NGSS does not have this as a standard.

BREAK
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.
