CHAPTER 2: Getting Ready for Inquiry Instruction

Using resources to develop storylines

Make sure to involve all three areas of the NGSS guidelines

Through the use of a unit plan storyline framework, lesson searching and planning will get easier

Use resources that are available for you to decide what to teach

Develop relationships between a lesson in the unit, activities and learning goals

Start by deciding what to teach, and then think about how to teach

Aspects of doing science & engineering

The students will also acquire the abilities to do scientific inquiry

Students will engage in various types of investigations

The students will develop science process skills and know how to involve themselves in the lesson

This should capture their interest and involve hands on activity

This area should specify more about what the students should be able to do when problem solving

Abilities necessary to do scientific inquiry

Communicating about investigations

Developing data-based, evidence-based explanations

Gathering and analyzing data

Planning and conducting investigations

Asking questions

Engineering design connects to scientific inquiry

Communicating about the problem, design, and solution

Evaluating the solution

Implementing a solution

Designing an approach

Stating a problem

Getting prepared for instructional planning

Use a lesson planning framework to plant lessons for science topics

Use 'SWBAT' statements in preparation. "Students will be able to"

Take concepts and break them down into smaller learning targets

Make sure that there are clear learning goals

Use appropriate instructional learning strategies, methods, and concepts

Identifying learning goals aligned with standards

Develop unit-level learning progressions

Use the districts science curriculum

Following the National Science Education Standards

Involving the three aspects of NGSS

Making sure that the goals are aligned with state standards
