Mike Schulist and Erik Lunde – Middle School Science We will show examples of NGSS aligned projects & activities we have developed in 8th and 6th grade, which include: Building and testing Newton Scooters; Building a giant periodic table with pizza box models, and creating new methods to encourage student discourse. Adam Singer – Middle School Engineering I am in the process of retooling our traditional shop class into a maker-oriented STEM class utilizing the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices to guide the student design process to address meaningful problems. I am hoping that having students conduct initial guided formal investigations, do reflective writing on their challenges and problem solving will improve their engineering design process. Lindsay Hess – Elementary Science Students will demonstrate their understanding of the engineering practices while solving a common occurrence in downtown San Anselmo. They will be working with a partner to show their understanding of weather, water, and successfully working together to devise a solution. John Flanagan – Middle School Science I helped start up an English Language Development Science program at Davidson for newcomers and limited English students who wouldn't have been able to take science in the past. In this session, I'm sharing some slides of what the students are doing, along with several other slides with instructional advice and resource ideas. If you can't stop by, check out the PPT through the iTeams website! |
