Scientific INQUIRY SKILLS
Inquiry (Experiments) Numeracy (Math connection)
Literacy: includes Science, Technology, Society
![Page 9: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
EXPERIMENTS What makes a good experiment?
What are the parts to a good experiment?
![Page 10: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
SCIENTIFIC METHOD: finding out something to investigate
(the "problem"), coming up with a theory or hypothesis
based on observations: how one property affects another.
designing a good experiment to test the idea, and making a prediction.
conducting the experiment. organizing and analyzing the results. drawing a conclusion and stating the
validity.
![Page 11: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
HYPOTHESIS:CAUSE and EFFECT
One property affectsanother
property both can be
observed/measured.
![Page 12: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
HYPOTHESIS:CAUSE and EFFECT
Independent andDependent
Variable Variable
![Page 13: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What makes a good experiment?CAUSE AFFECTS EFFECT All other properties remain the
same, they are "controlled". A "VALID" experiment is one
that assures that the result (dependent variable) is due to the cause (independent variable), not to any other factor.
It also has a starting point to compare to, the "control” group
![Page 14: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
PARTS OF AN EXPERIMENT
Amount of light (IV) affects how high plant grows (DV)
![Page 15: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LIGHT AFFECTS GROWTH Prediction: more light, more growth Independent: amount of light Dependent: amount of growth
Control Group: Room setup with NO light Experimental Group: Others
Constants: everything else (food, air, etc.. All CONTROLLED)
![Page 16: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
move from CLOSED TO OPENTest how three different lengths of string affect the period of a pendulum using these materials and this procedure.
Design an experiment to test how the length of a string affects the period of a pendulum using these materials.
Design an experiment to test how either length, mass, or angle of a string affects the period of a pendulum using these materials or others you ask for.
Design an experiment to test how length, mass, and angle of a string affect the period and the slowing down of a pendulum using any materials.
Design an experiment to see what things change how a pendulum swings.
![Page 17: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Math/Science Connection
Independent Variable
Dependent Variable
Both can be a measured property (number)
![Page 18: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
In Algebra terms:
Independent Variable is the cause, the X Dependent Variable is the effect, the Y.

OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS (see attached rubric)
Questions based on someone ELSE’S Lab Requires student to apply and explain a
science concept. Has more than one aspect to a correct
answer, or more than one correct answer. Requires higher order thinking, and
relevant prior knowledge to answer completely.
![Page 20: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CAPT 07 (for ALL.. See attached)
Based on 5 major content strands: Plastics (Chemical Structures), Global Interdependence (Cycles), Energy Transformations, Cell Chemistry/Bio Tech, Genetics&Evolution
10 tasks ( 5 lab, 5 sts) 40 MC content, 20 mc skills, 5 writing open
ended skills
![Page 21: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?:
Classroom activities and lessons need to include the USE of science and the discussion of its impact:
ASSESSMENT of students on these skills.
![Page 22: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
apply science process skills read and write science-related texts search scientific databases use mathematics to make sense out of data pose and evaluate arguments based on evidence apply logical conclusions from such arguments
![Page 23: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
PD Day Goals (Sep 18, Nov 7): Using science embedded tasks, teachers
will -examine learning goals for experiments,
STS tasks. -review common vocabulary and methods -conduct instruction in hands-on embedded
task experiments -design embedded task follow-up assessments
(questions for quarterly assessments) -be able to use holistic rubrics to score
student work on embedded task follow ups.
![Page 24: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
C.I.A. Day Goals
-science misconceptions, as detailed in CT Frameworks
Constructing good selected response (mc) science assessments
Instructional methods for inquiry Good scientific questioning
![Page 25: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
SCIENCE QUARTERLY ASSESSMENTS (see attached results)
Designed in part by teachers Short and CAPT like ( 10 mc, 3 open
ended) 22 pts, (13/22 prof, 17/22 goal)
Grades 9-11, based on required tasks
Given at end of quarter (and with exams)
![Page 26: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Example Questions (open ended)
Read about a group’s lab… then: Is their conclusion valid? Why or why not? How could they have improved? Design a
better experiment Read and interpret their graph, make a
graph Identify their independent, dependent
variables, explain why.
![Page 27: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Example Questions (open ended)
Read some data/results from a graph or web site… then:
Interpret the graph Judge the validity of the source Use the results to form an opinion/make a
science/society decision
![Page 28: New Haven Public Schools Principal Meeting To Think about as we get started:](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062518/56649f135503460f94c27e43/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Make sure teachers are Doing open ended labs, including, but not limited
to the embedded tasks. Having students work in groups, talking AND
writing about their results, as well as opinions. Emphasizing inquiry, numeracy, literacy skills as
objectives. Assessing students using detailed mc, and open
ended questions. (not just on quarterly assessments).
