Enables teachers to scaffold their students in framing
questions, grappling with data, creating explanations, and
critiquing explanations all important components of inquiry Select
instructional materials that promote inquiry Assess students
abilities in multiple ways Deep not Broad
Slide 7
5 E Learning Model The 5 E's is an instructional model based on
the constructivist approach to learning, which says that learners
build or construct new ideas on top of their old ideas.
Constructivism is a learning strategy that draws on students'
existing knowledge, beliefs, and skills. With a constructivist
approach, students synthesize new understanding from prior learning
and new information.
Slide 8
Integrating technology is a critical part of instruction and in
preparing students for success.
Slide 9
Key Science Concepts Grade 3 Technology can be used to analyze
and compare test results, connect to other classrooms to compare
data or share samples, and document the findings.
Slide 10
Technology Integration What? a. What is the instructional goal?
b. What technologies are available? c. What technologies would the
educator like to use?
Slide 11
Who is being targeted for the infusion of technology? a.Whole
group? b.Flexible group? c.Students with differentiated needs?
Technology Integration
Slide 12
Where will the technology be delivered? a. In the classroom
using a teacher presentation system? b. In the classroom computer
center? c. In the computer lab? d. With resource/peer support?
Technology Integration
Slide 13
When will the technology infusion take place? a. As a warm-up
or wrap up activity? b. After a particular lesson? c. What is the
timeline? Technology Integration
Slide 14
Engage MOTIVATION initiates and sustain students engagement in
inquiry. Multiple entry points
Slide 15
Explore Ask questions that can be tested Manipulate materials
Student Centered Investigations Design Process
Slide 16
Explain Guided Questions the How and the Why? Learn from
mistakes and failures build upon knowledge and develop new
conclusions based on testing and evidence. The jar is made of
translucent glass, however, and all surviving pots of Dr. Berrys
concoction are opaque or opalescent glass.
Slide 17
Expand Deepen Understanding Often inquiry leads to more
questions then answers expanding knowledge of content
addressing
Slide 18
Expand Focused on Scientific Ways of Knowing and Science and
Technology.
Text in an inquiry learning cycle Engage Generate interest
Build or activate prior knowledge Spark questions Narrative

Slide 21
Text in an inquiry learning cycle Explain Develop
understandings gained in inquiry Mentor texts for representing data
and communicating results Reference Explanation Expand Generate new
questions Apply knowledge to real world situations Connect
knowledge All genres
Slide 22
Science Content Based on Real World Evidence Connect text to
hands-on experiences Use academic vocabulary Integrating Science
and Balanced Literacy
Slide 23

Question TypesAmelia Earhart Examples Attention-focusing Could
the Freckle Cream Jar really belong to Amelia? Measuring and
counting What distance did her plane fly before disappearing?
ComparisonHow are the jars alike how are they different? Action
What happens when the meal worm is moved into the light?
Problem-posingCan you find evidence to support or refute that this
jar belonged to Amelia? Reasoning The jar found is milk glass
something not made at the time Amelia disappeared. How do you think
it got to the island? Testable Questions
