Overview of NGSS
NGSS Performance Expectations and Ca Framework
Science Pacing (When Physically at School)
Examples of Distance Learning Lessons (could take more than one day):
(These are exemplars from UCLA science project. Each of these lessons offers voice, choice, and encourage public display of thinking. These are written for asynchronous but easily you can bring students together for breakout room discussions.)
Elementary:
Secondary:
8th: What is Sound?
Bio: Nutrition and Energy
Teacher Note: that the above lessons were created in spring when certain resources may have been free. As we proceed through the school year Erica Young will modify based on what materials/videos are available. Each week Erica Young will provide lessons for elementary, if you want to go a different order than what she has created feel free to pull from what we used last year.
Ex: Provide a slide show, assign a breakout rooms:
one slide with directions, another slide a task (answer a question, complete a model)
Resources for Planning (Phenomena, Planning Templates, 5 E learning Cycle)
Science and Engineering Practices: How students "discover" the content resources/supports
Cross Cutting Concepts: How students "think" or the "lens" they use to understand science
