What is Science?
Department of Mathematics and Science
Science is the investigation of the world around us through observation, experimentation, and
theoretical explanation.
Science makes use of the scientific method, which includes careful observation of the natural
phenomena, the formulation of a hypothesis, the conducting of one or more experiments to test hypothesis, and the drawing of conclusion that
confirms or modifies the hypothesis.
Definition modified from American Heritage-Houghton Mifflin
Department of Mathematics and Science
1. Look at things closely with a purpose
2. Think ahead about what might happen
3. Use tools to make precise or specific information with numbers4. Put things into definite categories by common properties5. Use reasoning to draw conclusions
6. Describe and share information with others

Five Senses (K-5)
• Sight - Looks
• Touch - Feels
• Hearing – Sounds
when dropped
• Odor – Smells
• Tastes*
(*Safety first! Never taste anything or put anything in your mouth without permission from your teacher).
Qualitative Observations
Measurement Tools (2-5)
• Ruler
• Tape measure
• Measuring cup
• Graduated cylinder
• Balance
• Gram Mass pieces
Quantitative Observations

Compare and Contrast
Observation InferencesTo infer is to use observations to reach a conclusion based on evidence.
OpinionA personal belief that does not need proof.
To observe is to look closely at something using any of the five senses and/or measurement tools.
What Should a Science Classroom Look Like?
• Students engaged in inquiry• Students doing hands-on activities• Students thinking and writing critically• Infusion of literacy (LAFS) and math (LAFS)• Incorporation of Technology• Students’ science work displayed • Most importantly: Students doing science & communicating the
outcomes in all grades (K-5)! Office of Academics - Department of Science
Good Science Instruction
• Plan Effectively with end in mind – using the Pacing Guides - 5 E’s Model• Implement a routine of inquiry based, hands-on activities
relevant to the objectives of the topic . • Develop Higher-Order Questioning Strategies using Explicit-
Reflective instruction to enhance student thinking that includes:
- Asking questions about surroundings - Learning to make systematic observations in order to formulate answers to events that occur in our surrounding - Applying models to formulate solutions to questions• Encourage students to communicate verbally and in writing

Five ’s Instructional Strategy*
• The Five E Model is one way to prioritize student involvement in their own learning (both in terms of physical activity and active construction of understandings).
• This Five E’s learning model suggests the design and implementation of lessons to activate prior knowledge, shape the formation of new knowledge, and provide opportunities to use the new knowledge.
*Developed by Biological Science Curriculum Study (BSCS), a team led by Roger Bybee.

Organization of Individual PagesThese features allow students to organize their work and more efficiently access learning from prior activities or lessons. They also assist the teachers in assessing student understanding. Common organizational features include:• *Date each page• *Number on each page• *Headings • Focus questions• *Activity title• Pockets *Connects to the Table of Contents

Corrective FeedbackProvide feedback that guides students to think about the content of their work, and gives suggestions for how to improve. For example:
• Use the science vocabulary to support your work.• Can you tell me why you think that? (evidence)• Why do you think that happened? (reasoning)
Provide time for students to read the feedback and revise their responses.

IMPORTANCE OF DATA
• Facilitate a clear understanding of the gaps between where the school or class is and where it wants to be.
• Show if school or class goals and objectives are being accomplished.
• Predict and prevent failures.• Predict and ensure successes.• Establish foundation for Continuous School
Improvement/SIP.• Data drives instruction, and professional
development.
