What Gap?

This Gap!

Science Teachers’ frustration: The Students Should Know This Math Already!

WHAT Do YOU Think? Name a math / algebraic concept your kids appear to be lacking fluency in

application in science.

… Student made resource available to help Bridge these Ideas for YOU!! Kids’ Creativity

Both Science & Math Teachers MUST take responsibility for filling the Gap Together!

S.T.E………..…M Scientific Notation

& Dimensional Analysis

Balancing Equations

Density = mass/ volumeslope as a decimal

Velocity & Acceleration

Hydronium & Hydroxide concentrations;

Carbon dating & Radioactive Decay

Simplifying Rational Expressions

Simplifying / solving Algebraic Equations

Equations of lines and slope as a fraction

LOW Tech, Big Effect:

Why use a Video camera?

Steps to effective 21st Cent. Publishing

1. Make a video of your STEM Problem

2. Put the video onto your computer, using Flip software.

3. Upload video to Youtube under your own account. – YES - Youtube!

4. Use the Youtube URL or Embed code to add to your Final Prezi or Powerpoint.

2121stst Century Classroom STEMAction Century Classroom STEMActionHow do we do it? (TIME???)How do we do it? (TIME???)

1. Set up Edmodo – use it for assignments, documents test announcements, encourage usage daily with token rewards.

2. One day in the computer lab to get kids started on edmodo and introduce prezi and how video can be uploaded.

3. Kids commit & design individual 21st century STEM project.

4. Give a rubric and determine assessment impact realtive to expectations. Be sure to have administrative support.

5. Students must show progress at different benchmark dates through the process.

I had Your concerns too… How am I going to fit this into what I am already doing?

Your kids will do and learn more – you will be their guide – not much work for you

Some of my kids do not have internet access at home – what will they do?

All you need is a flip camera and paper / markers

Kids can’t access youtube… in school!well… maybe they can!

How am I gong to grade all these? Actually – the kids will grade them …

But Why? Well – the kids’ work can be featured on your school website, shared out to Siemens STEM site or Discovery Education .. When kids Publish they ….

1. MetacognitionThe process of thinking about thinking. Flavell

(1976)

"Metacognition refers to one's knowledge concerning one's own cognitive processes”

The learning-relevant properties of information or data. For Example: I am engaging in metacognition if I notice that I am

having more trouble learning A than B; if it strikes me that I should double check C before

accepting it as the final answer Flavell (1976) (p 232).

Notes for slide 8 :Seating for discussion

Any pairing will work rows to pairs easily with one slide!

Metacognition : thinking about what you are thinking…

Metcgntn: essential to problemsolving and scientific method

Investigations: what do we know … progress to “what do we want to find out?”

Notes slide 8 : Peer Coaching:Formal vs. Informal

Formal Peer Support to encourage metacognition “Warm-up” Activities Peer Homework Check Paired coaching directed by teacher throughout

discussions and example problems.

Light pants/ Dark pants.

Informal Peer Support: During formal lectures & discussions. During class discussion on homework issues. Throughout classroom time allowed for homework.

IN Marshfield………….Where is the Gap?

Successful implementation of Professional Learning Communities within Subject

Major Learning Targets Defined within courses, developing common assessments within common course.

Learning Targets are aligned and paced relative to vertical alignment within subject.

CRC : resource to ensure every student is learning staffed by math & Science teachers reveal the next issue…

…. We are about to address the GAP!
