a) Introduction.
(1) Science, as defined by the
National Academy of
Sciences, is the "use of
evidence to construct
testable explanations and
predictions of natural
phenomena, as well as the
knowledge generated
through this process."
(2) Recurring themes are
pervasive in sciences,
mathematics, and
technology. These ideas
transcend disciplinary
boundaries and include
patterns, cycles, systems,
models, and change and
constancy.
(6) Force, motion, and
energy. The student knows
that energy occurs in many
forms and can be observed in
cycles, patterns, and
systems. The student is
expected to:
(A) explore the uses of
energy, including mechanical,
light, thermal, electrical, and
sound energy;

Before beginning the
lesson, the teacher
should pose following
question to students:
"Think of one activity you
completed today or
watched someone
complete today that
required energy. What
type of energy do you
think you used to
complete the activity?"

to the students, have
students work on their
answers in class and

they wrote on their
worksheet and why. As
students are writing and
communicating with each
other, the teacher should
circulate the room to
check for the amount of
prior knowledge the
students possess on the
different forms of energy.

Using the holistic rating process, teacher will keep their eye on students overall ability to understand and use English to engage meaningfully
in grade-appropriate academic instruction and everyday interactions.
74.4. English Language Proficiency Standards. (a) Introduction. (4)
Effective instruction in second language acquisition involves giving ELLs opportunities to listen, speak, read, and write at
their current levels of English development while gradually increasing the linguistic complexity of the English they read and
hear, and are expected to speak and write.
