General information

•Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS) and MathematicsFlorida Standards (MAFS) aligned in District Pacing Guides

•Achievement Level Descriptors for FCAT 2.0 Science andBiology EOC

•Next Generation Science Standards – Final version released(adoption process has not started yet)

•NAEP 2012 – students have problems with providingevidence and reasoning for claims

•Insights: Benchmark instruction with fidelity and rigor +Students exposed to application of concepts (inquiry,assessments) = Success

Department of Mathematics and Science

Session Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

–Identify how the Florida Standards are correlatedto the Middle School Science Next GenerationSunshine State Standards (NGSSS) and can beused to increase rigor of instruction.

–Incorporate M-DCPS earth science instructionalresources to increase the depth of scienceteaching and learning.

–Plan for rigorous instruction using 5E Model

Today’s Benchmarks

•SC.6.E.7.1: Differentiate among radiation, conduction, and convection, thethree mechanisms by which heat is transferred through Earth's system.

•SC.6.E.7.2: Investigate and apply how the cycling of water between theatmosphere and hydrosphere has an effect on weather patterns andclimate.

•SC.6.E.7.3: Describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and oceancurrents influence local weather in measurable terms such astemperature, air pressure, wind direction and speed, and humidity andprecipitation.

• SC.6.E.7.4: Differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere,hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.

•SC.6.E.7.5: Explain how energy provided by the sun influences globalpatterns of atmospheric movement and the temperature differencesbetween air, water, and land.

•SC.6.E.7.6: Differentiate between weather and climate.

Heat Transfer in Earth’s Systems

Department of Mathematics and Science

Conclusion Writing:Claim-Evidence-Reasoning

•Students should support their own written claims with appropriatejustification.

Weather and Climate

Department of Mathematics and Science

ABC’s of teaching - ActivityBefore Content

•Explore content throughessential lab (HeatingEarth’s Surface)

•Then use text (“CurrentPatterns” from DiscoveryEducation) to clarifyunderstanding from the lab.

Weather and ClimateImplementing MAFS while using NGSSS

Department of Mathematics and Science

MAFS.6.SP.2.4: Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dotplots, histograms, and box plots.

Use your group’s data to generate a graph of your results.

Atmosphere andSpheres of the Earth

SC.6.E.7.4 Differentiate and show interactions among thegeosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, andbiosphere.

LAFS.68.RST.3.9:Compare and contrast the information gainedfrom experiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sourceswith that gained from reading a text on the same topic.

•Engage – How wolves change rivers

Atmosphere andSpheres of the Earth

SC.6.E.7.4 Differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere,hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.

LAFS.68.RST.3.9:Compare and contrast the information gained fromexperiments, simulations, video, or multimedia sources with that gained fromreading a text on the same topic.

•The Video and Essential lab take a different approachto the same topics (SC.6.E.7.4)

•Develop a diagram to Compare and contrast theinformation gained from these 2 sources (The LAFS).

Microlabs

Rounds using FL standards document: (1 minute per question, per person)

•What are Florida Standards and how are they infused into science instruction?

•What types of science activities lend themselves to Florida standards infusion?

•What kind of student product(s) is evidence of Florida standards through science?

Florida Standards Review:

1. From the discussion in your micro-labs, brainstorm what activities you see inscience classrooms that fulfill the specific Florida standards posted.

-Write these activities on yellow sticky notes in your group (one per note)

2. Now brainstorm activities that are not currently seen in science classrooms butthat can be done to fulfill the specific Florida standards posted.

-Write these activities on pink sticky notes in your group (one per note)

Whole Group Reflection:

“Which FL standards are addressed more in science instruction than others?”
