(Instructional Design Model recommended by the NSTA)
Examples/Suggestions for Research
Phase Description Classroom Instruction extract or draw attention to K of the KWL Chart (K= Know) Doing Good prior understandings and Think-Pair-Share Science in Middle knowledge Draw-What-You-Know School Elicit new knowledge is built on existing knowledge assists in transferring knowledge focus student thinking on Students ask open-ended Doing Good content questions* Science in Middle provide conversation Students develop and use models * School opportunities for all Think-Pair-Share to provide Research-Based students, not a select few conversation opportunities as Strategies (#5) response to question prompts Demonstration by teacher with * Next Generation: written observations by students Scientific and Lesson hook Engineering Foldables for creating visual Practices representations of content and/or Engage vocabulary Menu Choice Boards students select optional learning activities Student created skits to explain or represent knowledge One-to-one technologies (ie: graphing calculators, interactive white boards, interactive Websites) Graphic Organizers Inquiry-Based Learning Stations: discovery, student-centered observations, Students plan and carry out Expanding the 5E record data, isolate investigations * Model variables, Students analyze and interpret GaDOE design experiments, create data * Instructional graphs, Students make predictions from Framework for interpret results, organize demonstrations. SBC findings Question prompts by the teacher accompanied by teachers Data collection during lab activities * Next Generation: Explore check for students and in science experiments Scientific and understanding Cooperative group learning Engineering activities Practices Jigsaw groups where student become group experts and then travel to other groups to share their specific components Student created graphs written or verbal Students construct explanations CCGPS Literacy communications and design solutions * Standards summaries of results Engage in arguments from justifications evidence * * Next Generation: Obtain, evaluate and Scientific and communicate information * Engineering Expository Writing (ie: What Practices happened during the lab? Why did this happen? Will the results always Explain be the same? Peer-to-Peer verbal review and clarification Oral presentation of lab results Oral presentation of project Log Book Journal writings and reflections Science Projects with abstracts and summaries transfer of learning Assessments which include Expanding the 5E transfer one concept to questions related to labs and require Model another application of new knowledge Doing Good transfer subject to subject Science Olympiad Events Science in Middle application to a new context Students design a product which School applies findings to authentic Elaborate/ situations Extend Students create performance tasks Students design real-life solutions to existing problems based on new knowledge Book study on nonfiction books related to the specific content area Invent America formative Student converse during learning summative activities for student and teacher informal commentary/feedback.
