Slide 3
How are Science and 21 st Century Skills Related? Science is
not only a body of accepted knowledge, but also the processes that
lead to this knowledge. Engaging students in scientific
processesincluding talk and argument, modeling and representation,
and learning from investigationsbuilds science proficiency
(National Research Council, 2007). At the same time, this
engagement may develop 21st century skills. For example, developing
and presenting an argument based on empirical evidence, as well as
posing appropriate questions about others arguments, may develop
complex communication skills and non-routine problem-solving
skills.

two ways to familiarize yourself with these skills: 1. Click on the
Quizlet icon and try Scatter or the Space Race for some real fun.
2. Open the pdf document and review the terms in more detail.

Slide 11
Assignment Choose one of the four units presented in the
earlier slides (or any other unit found on the Intel Education
Websites). Conduct a critical review of the unit plan and
resources. Prepare and post your unit plan review summary in the
Blackboard Discussion Forum: Slice 1: Unit Plan Summary. Be sure to
include the following information. Identify the name, grade level,
and URL of the unit State the essential question and briefly
describe two student activities. Summarize whether the unit meets
few, some, or most Project Characteristics (see embedded document
Project Characteristics Checklist). Explain how the unit helps
develop at least one science process skill and one 21 st century
skill. (NOTE: If you are NOT a science teacher, you do not have to
identify a science process skill.) Use the documents Science
Process Skills and 21 st Century Skills embedded in earlier slides.
Rate the unit for use in your future classroom: 1 (I likely won't
use it), 2 (I might use it), 3 (I will definitely use it). Justify
your rating. When finished, please read and respond to at least one
other review summary. When possible, choose posts that have not yet
received feedback.
