APPLICATION IS ENGINEERING ON THE SCIENCE MSP
Wendy WhitmerREGIONAL SCIENCE COORDINATORNEWESD 101
Workshop One: Application and Engineering Design
Supporting student success on the MSP and beyond
Why are we here?
Overview of the Series
Application and Engineering Design
Adjusting Instruction Based on Student Data
Implications for Instruction
Learning Intentions: Understand the technological design process as
described in the WA Standards and the NGSS
Understand the student expectations for the technological design process in Washington State Standards
Understand application item types as assessed on the Measurement of Student Progress
Learning Intentions: Use student data to adjust instruction
Apply understanding of the applications/engineering in the classroom in individual own context
Identify Academic Vocabulary unique to the Science MSP and the strategies to support ELL students
What does Engineering Design look like for students?

What NGSS Says About What Students Should Know and Be Able
to Do…Examine the description of Engineering Design at your grade level in the following documents:
Appendix I from the NGSS
Engineering, Technology and Application of Science (ETS) standards from the NGSS

How do the Washington expectations compare?
Examine the application (APP) test and item specifications from the 2009 standards. Match these expectations with the NGSS Engineering Design Process steps.
Debrief
What similarities do you recognize between the
current assessed expectations and the
NGSS engineering design process?

Pre-Assessment Give it a try…
Engineering Design Challenge!
Engineering Design Challenge!Zip Line Carrier
Design and build a ping pong ball carrier that will travel down a zip line
Criteria Constraints ping pong ball
must stay in carrier
carrier must move continuously
carrier must take 4-8 seconds to reach the bottom
zip line angle materials carrier must be
removable from zip line
Criteria versus Constraints????Zip Line Carrier

Reflect
What is your initial reaction to the information about assessment?
What potential areas of growth do you see for you and your students?
First Step
Narrow focus to Redesign in order to examine student work and to plan for instructional shifts.
Your Tasks Administer the MSP style assessment item to your students
PRIOR to any additional instruction on engineering design. Collect and sort those student responses into High, Medium,
Low categories based on your own thinking. Bring those assessments to the next session for scoring Bring a student roster for recording student scores Engage students through the “Zip-Line” design challenge
activity. Note successes and challenges and be prepared to debrief the
experience at Session 2.
