Workshop GoalsTo use astronomy as a means of engaging students in learning physical science and mathematical concepts.To help students derive and understand mathematical relationships, when possibleTo help students understand the power of prediction from mathematical modelsTo help students understand fundamental physical science principles

StrategyUse active engagement techniques (5 Es)Incorporate Cross Cutting Concepts and Standard Mathematical Practices in lesson development

Crosscutting Concepts(poster)1. Patterns2. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation3. Scale, proportion, and quantity4. Systems and system models5. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation6. Structure and function7. Stability and change

Standards for Mathematical Practice(poster)Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.Reason abstractly and quantitatively.Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.Model with mathematics.Use appropriate tools strategically.Attend to precision.Look for and make use of structure.Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.http://www.corestandards.org/

AssessmentsGroup lesson plan development based on the 5Es, Cross-Cutting Concepts and Standards of Mathematical Practicewill discuss further this afternoonmake sure to have watched the video on the 5Es.
