CLASS 3All the “Other” Standards
WALK AWAY
Comfortable with the steps of a science lab Seeing examples of good educational videos Knowing more about how culture, gender,
and the brain play into learning science Prepared to experiment on one another next
week
AGENDA Old business Parts of a Science Lab (PHEOC) (Standard C) How to teach:
P H E O C
Standards A and B techniques (including cool videos)
Standards G and H techniques (including cool videos)

PARTS OF A SCIENCE LAB ( OR THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD OR STANDARD C- SCIENCE INQUIRY) 5 Main Parts P- Problem (or question) H- Hypothesis E- Experiment (includes materials and
procedure) O- Observations (or data) C- Conclusion
Why is this a part of being scientifically literate?
TEACHING P Early Elementary: List questions about the world
Middle Elementary: List questions where YOU could find the answer.
Late- Middle School: List questions that fit the following format “How does changing __________ change ____________?” These are the independent and dependant variables respectively.
Great website- ScienceBuddies.com (check out wizard)
Important because: nature of science- provides a starting point and a focus.
TEACHING H Early Elementary: Anytime you work on
prediction.
Middle Elementary: Make an “educated guess” about the answer to your questions.
Late- Middle School: Practice predicting answers to your questions. I use the format “I think ______ because _____”
WHY IT MATTERS: Prediction skills are vital in life. It acknowledges your bias and focuses your
research
TEACHING E Peanut butter sandwich lab (do) Lessons.... How to adapt to different levels….
Important because Technical Writing Guides process Should be driven by student Gives a reference to the level of specifics you
need
TEACHING O Early Elementary: Draw pictures of what you
observe.
Middle Elementary: Describe what you observe/ take measurements and fill them into a table.
Late- Middle School: Create a table and collect measurements to test your question.
Important because: teaches organization of information, helps to create and interpret graphs
TEACHING C Early Elementary: What did you learn?
Middle Elementary: Summarize your learning. Was your hypothesis correct? Ask a new question that this makes you think of.
Late- Middle School: Answers the questions: Restate the purpose of the experiment Summarize what they did in the experiment Summarize of what the data showed Whether or not their hypothesis was correct? AND
WHY OR WHY NOT? A concluding sentence (or two) What they would change to repeat the research? Recommendations for future research?
Important because: teaches summarization, the nature of science, and technical writing.
TECHNIQUES FOR STANDARD A AND B
A- Science Connections
When is science useful in your life?
When is life useful in science?
B- Nature of ScienceBest story we have so far (see Eureka)Communal/ Collaborative (see stories/
biographies/ movies like And the Band Played On or anything about Nikola Tesla)
Based on guess test revise guess retest
A CHECK ON STANDARDS SO FAR
A- Science Connections (we just talked about) B- Nature of Science (we just talked about) C- Science Inquiry (all the lab stuff we did
today) D- Physical Science (last week) E- Earth and Space Science (next week) F- Life Science (week one) G- Science Applications (doing now) H- Science in Personal and Social
Perspectives (doing now)
STRATEGIES FOR STANDARDS G AND H
G- Science Applications Talk about science careers (Neil DeGrasse
Tyson video)Talk about technology (good, bad, ugly)Work on design (try this with paper airplanes)Look at local and global problems (connect to
technology)
H- Science in Personal and Social PerspectivesEvaluate media about these issuesPlan a problem to a world issue/ science
problemTalk about personal health and safety
GENDER DIFFERENCES TO CONSIDER
Sight
Sound
Problem Solving
Recommended Resources- Dr. Leonard Sax
CULTURE DIFFERENCES TO CONSIDER
Giving directions
Writing cause and effect
Values and Science topics
BRAIN RESEARCH RESOURCES
Teen brain
Developmental levels
Resources: Primal Teen
