What is scientific argumentation?

“The study of science and engineering should produce a sense of the process of argument necessary for advancing and defending a new idea or an explanation of a phenomenon and the norms for conducting such arguments. In that spirit, students should argue for the explanations they construct, defend their interpretations of the associated data, and advocate for the designs they propose.” (NRC Framework, 2012, p. 73)

How People Learn I (HPL I):

Three Key Findings

3 Key Findings

  • Prior Knowledge
  • Conceptual Framework
  • Metacognition

Introduction to HPL II:

Learners, Contexts and Cultures

Each learner develops a unique array of knowledge and cognitive resources in the course of life that are molded by the interplay of that learner’s cultural, social, cognitive, and biological contexts. Understanding the developmental, cultural, contextual, and historical diversity of learners is central to understanding how people learn.

How People Learn II, p.33

What have we learned

since HPL I? Four Key Findings

21

  • Culture plays an important and complex role in shaping how people Learn.
  • Learning is a dynamic process that continues throughout the lifespan.
  • Mental models are key to developing knowledge.
  • Motivation is essential to learning.

Jigsaw Breakout Room Activity

Number off in your Zoom Breakout Room 1-4 (repeat as necessary)

  • Everyone read first 3 paragraphs (page 1) and “Implications for Classroom” (page 3)

  • #1 read Culture plays an important role..
  • #2 read Learning is a dynamic process…
  • #3 read Mental models are key to…
  • #4 read Motivation is ...

Jigsaw Breakout Room Instructions

  • Determine a “golden line” that carries the message of your section.
  • Share this golden line with your group.
  • Discuss which of these highlights aligns with the key findings from HPL I.
  • Discuss implications for the classroom.
  • Select a highlight that you want to focus on as you go through the learning experiences

Paying Attention to Classroom Culture and Context: 4 Key Questions

  1. Who is engaged in classroom activity?
  2. Who is treated as a “knower” in the classroom?
  3. What ways of knowing are privileged in the classroom?
  4. What science is practiced in the classroom?

Promoting Classroom Culture (Lenses)

  • Collaboration Routines
  • Classroom Norms
  • Group and independent routines
  • Safe Space Practices
  • Discourse Routines
  • Scaffolding Tools
  • Consensus Routines

27

Consider these routines, norms and tools to support an equitable classroom culture when planning your lesson/unit.

Station Directions

Measuring CO2 Production (Video)

1. Watch Video

2. Make initial observations.

What factors do you think affected your data?

Measuring CO2 Production (Snail Simulation)

1. Watch Video of Simulation

2. Make initial observations.

What factors do you think affected your data?

Human Conductivity (Video)

Place one hand on each plate. You should notice a reading on the meter. If the meter shows a negative current, reverse your connections, switching the probe connected to the copper plate with the one connected to the aluminum and vice versa. If the meter shows no current, check the connections and the wiring.��Try pressing harder on the plates. ��Get your hands wet and try again. Switch the multimeter to measure voltage, and repeat the above experiments.
