ORCHESTRA STUDENTS ARE MUSICIANS;

STUDENTS ON THE BASKETBALL TEAM ARE

ATHLETES;

WHAT OPPORTUNITIES DO OUR SCIENCE

STUDENTS HAVE TO BE SCIENTISTS?

Science Notebooks …… make student thinking

visible

… are formative

assessment tools

… strengthen literacy skills

… support diff erentiated

learning

… provide a vehicle for

teacher collaboration

PURPOSE OF A SCIENCE NOTEBOOK

Gilbert and Kotelman, “Five Good Reasons to Use Science Notebooks,” Science and Children, 2005

Page 16: February 11, 2014 KINDERGARTEN SCIENCE: DAY 2. Paul Drummond Jennifer Gottlieb Science Consultants, MISD WELCOME!

PURPOSE OF A SCIENCE NOTEBOOK

Everything comes together in a notebook:

Next Generation Science Standards

CCSS ELA Content

CCSS Math Content

Disciplinary Classroom Practices

…and all of these work together to help students develop an understanding of science content!

ENGAGE

Weather StoriesThink about a day

when weather was important to what you did.

Draw/write a weather story from a day you remember

Share stories with class.

I wonder how a scientist

would describe weather patterns?

Page 26: February 11, 2014 KINDERGARTEN SCIENCE: DAY 2. Paul Drummond Jennifer Gottlieb Science Consultants, MISD WELCOME!

How might we describe some of these like a scientist?

What could we measure? How could we measure it?

Look at weather data after a week…

What patterns do you notice?

Look at weather data after a month….after a season….

What patterns do you notice?

EXPLAIN

Once we recognize weather patterns, how can they help us?What to wear?Where to go?What to do?Should school be

cancelled?
