WHO ARE WE?WHAT IS SCIENCE?
FALL 2010
Youngjin SongUniversity of Northern

Let’s Think About…
What did you notice about the people on the video?
What are the similarities and differences that you noticed?
Create Your Own Facial Glyphs Use the key to determine the features
of your facial glyph Create your own facial glyph using
the materials provided…let your inner Picasso take over!
We will use the facial glyph as an introduction to the group.
Identify 3 adjectives to describe yourself.
Let’s make a quilt…
One by one introduce yourself to the group. Share your name; Identify yourself by the features; Share the 3 adjectives that represent you.
With each facial glyph we will create a group quilt that represents the members present.
What similarities and differences do you see on the quilt?
Collaboratively create a graph representing the data for one of the features.
Connections
Facial glyphs integrates multiple disciplines: Literacy Social studies Mathematics Science
And the activity addresses: Affect Psychomotor Diversity
Check out the connections….
Connected to Literacy
Standards for the English Language Arts“Language is the most powerful, most readily available tool we have for representing the world….Language is not only a means of communication, it is a primary instrument of thought…. Encouraging and enabling students to use language effectively is certainly one of society’s most important tasks” (International Reading Association, 1996, p. 12)
Language acquisition: reading, writing, speaking, and listening
Vocabulary and grammar
Connected to Social Studies Science: how the natural world works Social studies: the multiple roles of
humans as they adapt to their surroundings and reorganize ways they relate to each other.
National Social Studies StandardsSocial studies is the integrated study of the social science and humanities to promote civic competence. Within the school program, social studies provides coordinated, systematic study drawing upon such disciplines as anthropology, …, mathematics, and natural science.

Connected to Students’ Affective and Diversity
Students’ positive attitude Teaching and learning is about the whole
child. This activity addresses cognitive, psychomotor and affective development.
Similarities and differences
Connected to Mathematics
Mathematics: the language of science Students can develop the view of mathematics
: a practical subject that can be applied to real-word situations and to problems arising in other disciplines (NCTM, 2000)
Ways of applying mathematics in scientific inquiry (Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, NCTM, 2000)
I. Quantifying the real dataII. Organizing and interpreting dataIII. Using patterns and relationshipsIV. Operating on numerical data
Connected to Science
Goals of science education
Learn ScienceConceptual
knowledge and understanding in
science
Learn about Science
Understandings about the nature of
science
Learn to do Science
Abilities to carry out scientific
inquiry
Final Thoughts
Establish learning environment Integration
“Student achievement in science and in other school subjects such as social studies, language arts, and technology is enhanced by coordination between and among the science program and other programs” (NRC, 1996, P. 214).
