  1. MAKING THE CASE… for STEM Education STEM Leadership Network: Forum #2 January 23, 2014 ESD 123 Blue Mtn. Room Georgia Boatman & Peggy Willcuts

  2. PREPARING YOUR STEM NOTEBOOK • Title for Today’s Page: • SLN 2013-2014 Forum #2 • January 23, 2014 • ESD 123 Blue Mt. Room

  3. Tools for Your Use… • Quick inventory of table: • Table Box – take off the lid and set underneath • SLN Binder • Add elements from previous sessions

  4. Remember your two lenses… Adult Learner Instructional Leader 5

  5. AGENDA OVERVIEW Lunch ! • PART ONE: • Dipping into the Research: NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS - Crosscutting Concepts • PART TWO: • Immersion into STEM Education through Family Engineering • PART THREE: • Team Action Planning

  6. GOALS • Build a shared understanding of the elements of effective STEM instruction • Increase awareness of the research supporting effective teaching and learning • Experience, first-hand, an immersion activity modeling effective STEM instruction • Take action together as school district teams

  10. Study Group Formation Split room in ½ Each ½ of room numbers off by 7s Go to your number to form a group

  11. Reading and Working Protocol • Turn to page 79 in the Appendix book • Everyone SKIM first 2 ½ pages in Appendix G • Find your numbered Crosscutting Concept and read: • Description • Progression across K-12

  12. NOTICE…

  13. NOTICE… First Grade: Use observations of the sun, moon, and stars to describe patterns that can be predicted. Fourth Grade: Develop a model of waves to describe the patterns in terms of amplitude and wavelength and that waves can cause objects to move. Middle School: Analyze and interpret data for patterns in the fossil record that document the existence, diversity, extinction, and change of life forms throughout the history of life on Earth under the assumption that natural laws operate today as in the past.

  18. Reading and Working Protocol • Everyone SKIM first 2 ½ pages in Appendix G • Find your numbered Crosscutting Concept and read: • Description • Progression across K-12 • Discuss meaning of this CC • Create GRAPHIC (few words)

  19. Gallery Walk Post GRAPHIC with docent Stay on your side of the room! 2 minutes per poster – listen for the chime!

  20. PART TWO:TARGETING ENGINEERINGIN THE NGSS WITH STEM DESIGN CHALLENGES

  21. Family Engineering Reminder of Design Process NGSS Design Squad/ PNNL

  22. Family Engineering Design Process

  23. Give Me a Hand • Be a Biomedical Engineer • You will design a prosthetic hand/grabber • Will pick up and move each of the objects (criteria) • Use only the materials in your baggie (constraint) • Operated by a variety of people on your team (constraint)

  24. Your Materials TEST MATERIALS: FOR TEAMS TO SHARE • Cotton balls • Pencils • Containers of marbles • Plastic cups • Sheets of paper DESIGN MATERIALS: FOR EACH TEAM • 6 wooden craft sticks • 8 rubber bands of various sizes • 3 paperclips • 2 index cards • 1 plastic spoon • 1 plastic fork • Masking tape

  25. Give Me a Hand • You have 40 minutes • 10 for defining your problem and developing a model • 20 for testing your model • 10 minutes to • analyze your data, • describe and draw how you would optimize

  26. TIME TO EAT LUNCH !

  27. Design Challenge and Crosscutting Concepts Use the light green post-its and Crosscutting Concepts labels Choose the Crosscutting Concepts that your team agrees were present in the Give Me a Hand lesson Make evidence notes on the green post-it about where in the lesson that Crosscutting Concept was present Place your Post-it on the Sticky Bars Chart

  28. PART THREE:ACTION PLANNING

  29. Final Notes… • Please complete your evaluation • Pick the method that best fits your level of responsibility • Next Meeting: • April 17th • 10:00 • Bring your Framework for K-12 Science Education Book • Bring your Action Plan Documents • Drive safely!
