6th Grade Science Teacher
Gateway Environmental K-8
Department of Mathematics and Science
General information• Language Arts Florida Standards (LAFS) and Mathematics
Florida Standards (MAFS) aligned in District Pacing Guides• Achievement Level Descriptors for FCAT 2.0 Science and
Biology EOC• Next Generation Science Standards – Final version released
(adoption process has not started yet)• NAEP 2012 – students have problems with providing
evidence and reasoning for claims• Insights: Benchmark instruction with fidelity and rigor +
Students exposed to application of concepts (inquiry, assessments) = Success
Department of Mathematics and Science
Session OutcomesParticipants will be able to:
– Identify how the Florida Standards are correlated to the Middle School Science Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) and can be used to increase rigor of instruction.
– Incorporate M-DCPS earth science instructional resources to increase the depth of science teaching and learning.
– Plan for rigorous instruction using 5E Model

Norms
• Be present • Share wisdom• Trust the process• Keep an open mind• Refrain from judging• Try something new, then reflect
Department of Mathematics and Science
Introduce the FL Standards- “What should FL Standards look like in a
Science Classroom?”
7Department of Mathematics and Science
Today’s Benchmarks• SC.6.E.7.1: Differentiate among radiation, conduction, and convection, the
three mechanisms by which heat is transferred through Earth's system.• SC.6.E.7.2: Investigate and apply how the cycling of water between the
atmosphere and hydrosphere has an effect on weather patterns and climate.
• SC.6.E.7.3: Describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather in measurable terms such as temperature, air pressure, wind direction and speed, and humidity and precipitation.
• SC.6.E.7.4: Differentiate and show interactions among the geosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere.
• SC.6.E.7.5: Explain how energy provided by the sun influences global patterns of atmospheric movement and the temperature differences between air, water, and land.
• SC.6.E.7.6: Differentiate between weather and climate.
Department of Mathematics and Science
Conclusion Writing: Claim-Evidence-Reasoning
• Students should support their own written claims with appropriate justification.
Department of Mathematics and Science
How is heat transferred through the Earth’s surface and the atmosphere?
Weather and Climate
15Department of Mathematics and Science
ABC’s of teaching - Activity Before Content•Explore content through essential lab (Heating Earth’s Surface)
•Then use text (“Current Patterns” from Discovery Education) to clarify understanding from the lab.
Weather and ClimateImplementing MAFS while using NGSSS
16Department of Mathematics and Science
MAFS.6.SP.2.4: Display numerical data in plots on a number line, including dot plots, histograms, and box plots.
Use your group’s data to generate a graph of your results.

•The Video and Essential lab take a different approach to the same topics (SC.6.E.7.4)•Develop a diagram to Compare and contrast the information gained from these 2 sources (The LAFS).

Rounds using FL standards document: (1 minute per question, per person)
•What are Florida Standards and how are they infused into science instruction?•What types of science activities lend themselves to Florida standards infusion?•What kind of student product(s) is evidence of Florida standards through science?
Florida Standards Review: 1. From the discussion in your micro-labs, brainstorm what activities you see in science classrooms that fulfill the specific Florida standards posted.-Write these activities on yellow sticky notes in your group (one per note)2. Now brainstorm activities that are not currently seen in science classrooms but that can be done to fulfill the specific Florida standards posted.-Write these activities on pink sticky notes in your group (one per note)
Whole Group Reflection:“Which FL standards are addressed more in science instruction than others?”
Department of Mathematics and Science
Assignment
• 5E lesson plan turned in to edmodo utilizing content and strategies presented in today’s session.
• Teachers may work in groups of 3-4.• Each teacher must submit an individual
assignment.

Session OutcomesParticipants will be able to:
– Identify how the Florida Standards are correlated to the Middle School Science Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) and can be used to increase rigor of instruction.
– Incorporate M-DCPS earth science instructional resources to increase the depth of science teaching and learning.
– Plan for rigorous instruction using 5E Model
Department of Mathematics and Science
One Word Summary
• Provide one word as feedback to describe what good science with FL standards should look like.
• Write on an index card and post up before you leave.
