15 4 Strands of Science Proficiency Understanding Scientific Explanations understand central concepts and use them to build and critique explanations. Generating Scientific Evidence generating and evaluating evidence as part of building and refining models and explanations of the natural world. Reflecting on Scientific Knowledge understand that doing science entails searching for core explanations and the connections between them. Participating Productively in Science understand the norms for presenting scientific arguments and evidence and practice productive social interactions with peers around classroom science investigations. NRC, 2008 Ready, Set, Science! 23
16 Science & Engineering Practices Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Planning and Carrying Out Investigations Scientists and engineers plan and carry out investigations in the field or laboratory, working collaboratively as well as individually. Their investigations are systematic and require clarifying what counts as data and identifying variables or parameters. Engineering investigations identify the effectiveness, efficiency, and durability of designs under different conditions. Planning and carrying out investigations may include elements of all of the other practices.
17 Webinar Outline Generating Evidence Designing Experiments Evaluating Evidence Two Broad Themes: The role of prior knowledge in scientific thinking at all ages The importance of experience and instruction 25
18 Generating and Evaluating Chapter 5 Evidence and Explanations TSTS Major Findings in the Chapter: Children are far more competent in their scientific reasoning than first suspected and adults are less so. Furthermore, there is great variation in the sophistication of reasoning strategies across individuals of the same age. In general, children are less sophisticated than adults in their scientific reasoning. However, experience plays a critical role in facilitating the development of many aspects of reasoning, often trumping age. Scientific reasoning is intimately intertwined with conceptual knowledge of the natural phenomena under investigation. This conceptual knowledge sometimes acts as an obstacle to reasoning, but often facilitates it. Many aspects of scientific reasoning require experience and instruction to develop. For example, distinguishing between theory and evidence and many aspects of modeling do not emerge without explicit instruction and opportunities for practice. 26
19 Poll 1 Familiarity with the NRC Reports Taking Science to School and Ready, Set, Science! A. I have read both reports and understand the main messages and recommendations. B. I have only read Ready, Set, Science! and understand the main messages and recommendations. C. I have read Ready, Set, Science! and I am familiar with the main messages. D. I have heard about Ready, Set, Science! but have not examined the report. E. I have not heard about Ready, Set, Science! 27
20 Generating and Evaluating Chapter 5 Evidence and Explanations TSTS Two Major Shifts from Current Curriculum/Instruction: Shifting of science from lone scientist in an isolated laboratory to an image of science as both an individual and deeply social enterprise. (Talk & Argument) (Critique & Communication) (Models and Representations) Shift in scientific reasoning as a highly developed form of logical thinking that cuts across scientific domains to the study of scientific thinking as the interplay of general reasoning strategies, knowledge of the natural phenomena being studied, and a sense of how scientific evidence and explanations are generated. (Building & Refining Models, Mechanisms, and Theories) (Problematize the Evidence) 28
21 Poll 2 Generating Evidence The evidence-gathering phase of inquiry includes planning and designing the investigation as well as carrying out the steps required to collect the data. Which of the statements below do you think is NOT a part of Generating Evidence? A. asking questions B. deciding what to measure C. developing measures D. collecting data from the measures E. structuring the data 29
22 Generating Evidence Generating evidence entails all of the following: asking questions, deciding what to measure, developing measures, collecting data from the measures, structuring the data, systematically documenting outcomes of the investigations, interpreting and evaluating the data, and using the empirical results to develop and refine arguments, models, and theories. 30
23 Asking Questions and Formulating Hypotheses An iterative cycle not a one-time event Begin with exploratory study of natural world with structured observations that lead to specific questions and hypotheses Collection of data could lead to new questions and revision of hypotheses and perhaps another round of data collection Asking questions is also about formulating the goals of the activity and generating predictions 31

25 Collecting and Structuring Data Exercise for Healthy Heart 1. Intro Unit and Lab 1 (Day 1) Conduct prelab including demonstration of STEP test and taking a pulse. Students collect data Lab 1- Resting Heart Rate at at 6,10,15,& 60 seconds. 2. Data Collection Labs 2&3 (Days 2&3) Lab 2 - Activity Level (slow/fast stepping) and Heart Rate Lab 3 - Weight (with/without hand weights) and Heart Rate 3. Data Analysis for Labs 2&3(Days 4&5) Knowledge Forum Activity What Matters in Getting Good Data Determining Trends and Patterns of Data Developing and Evaluating Explanations for the Patterns of Data 33
26 Poll 3 - Exercise for a Healthy Heart Agree/Disagree with the following statements. = Agree, = Disagree 1. It matters where you take a pulse Wrist, neck, thigh 2. It matters how long you take a resting pulse seconds 3. It matters how long you take an exercising pulse seconds 4. It matters who takes a pulse 34
27 Resting Heart Rates 6, 10, 60 sec Heartrate/min 60 s student heartrate
28 Designing Experiments Experimentation can be designed to: Generate observations/measurements that induce a hypothesis to account for a pattern (Discovery Context) Test an existing hypotheses under consideration (Confirmation/Verification Context) Isolating variables control of variables is a basic strategy that allows for valid inferences and constrains the number of possible experiments to consider. 36
29 Prior Knowledge At all ages, prior knowledge of the domain under investigation plays an important role in the formulation of questions and hypotheses. Time engaging with the phenomena is very important; in some domains students have this experience, in others it must be built into the classroom events. 37
30 Prior Knowledge & Benchmark Activities Tasks that are given to students at the beginning of a unit prior to any instruction Students can choose how to respond Drawing, Labeled Drawing, Story Board, Symbols, Writing Used by teachers to target instruction and identify learner s Commonsense understandings (misconceptions) Productive intuitions 38
31 What does the child seem to understand? What does the child appear to confuse? What is the student ready to learn? Drawing 1 Drawing 2 39
32 What differences did you see? Use of arrows S1 as lines of force; S2 as pointers Force concept S1 uses word force ; S2 does not Confusions S1 has weight of air acting as a downward force, a frequent commonsense idea; gravity arrows sideways S2 has buoyancy > gravity to explain sinking Guiding conception S1 uses density to explain floating/sinking S2 uses gravity=buoyancy to explain floating/sinking Productive intuitions S1 uses buoyancy arrows to show water pressure acting in all directions 40
33 Designing Experiments Domain-general minimize the role of prior knowledge (knowledge lean) Example Law of the Pendulum isolate the 3 variables (length of string, size of weight, height weight is released) to determine which variable influences the period/time of swing. One Lesson. Domain-specific infuses the role of prior knowledge (knowledge rich) Example Build a 1 second timer using the data set gathered from class investigations examining varying lengths of string; find out if the 1 second length works with wooden sticks and/or metal pipes; i.e., will it give the same results for a 1 second timer. A Sequence of Lessons. Sequence matters! Sustained engagement with the phenomena is essential! Get a grip on nature! 41

42 Evaluating Evidence that Contradicts Prior Beliefs 50 Chinn and Brewer propose that there are eight possible responses to anomalous data. Individuals can: (1) ignore the data, (2) reject the data (e.g., because of methodological error, measurement error, bias); (3) acknowledge uncertainty about the validity of the data; (4) exclude the data as being irrelevant to the current theory; (5) hold the data in abeyance (i.e., withhold a judgment about the relation of the data to the initial theory); (6) reinterpret the data as consistent with the initial theory; (7) accept the data and make peripheral change or minor modification to the theory; (8) accept the data and change the theory.

44 PRACCIS Promoting Reasoning and Conceptual Change in Science Clark A. Chinn Richard A. Duschl Ravit G. Ducan Principal Investigators 52
45 Learning Targets: The scientific strategies 1. Reasoning about methodological strengths and weaknesses of studies E.g., sample size; reliability and accuracy of measures; alternative interpretations of data; the adequacy of controls. 2. Interpreting data 3. Constructing models or explanations that fit complex patterns of data from multiple studies 4. Resolving conflicts among studies with seemingly incompatible results 5. Deciding the extent to which one can generalize 53
46 Lesson 2: Modeling Cellular Transport 54 Overview: In this lesson students develop several models for how materials cross cellular membranes. Each of these models will be explored in more detail over the week. Students view the results of the iodine experiment which proves the viability of the Squeeze model of cellular transport (i.e. simple diffusion into the cell). Students set up the egg experiment which will test the squeeze model in more detail in Lesson 3 it is essential that the egg experiment be set up on this day students must at the very least complete Row A and B (from which they can easily calculate C, time-permitting). Finally, time permitting; students discuss criteria for evaluating models (this can be moved to the next day if necessary). Driving Question: How could things get inside cells? Learning Objectives: Students will learn that the very basic Squeeze model (i.e. simple diffusion into the cell) is a viable model of cellular transport. Students will learn more about how models work and how to build and justify them. Materials: Handouts: Egg experiment directions, Egg experiment data sheet. Overheads: Students models (drawn by teacher from discussion); 3 Kinds of Models Egg Experiment: Per group 2 deshelled eggs, 4 cups, balance, 100ml syrup, 100 ml water, plastic wrap, soap, paper towel, 2 plastic spoons.

50 58 Medium/High
51 Medium I think the less the density of the substance the easier for smaller things to get into / through something small like the cell membrane. Something else is water goes from when there is more molecules to where theres less molecules 59
52 Low I know that lead can get into people s blood stream. I don t think it can do anything besides eat the cell so that is why I think that. Then I think it takes over the cell so that it is dead. 60

54 Setting up a model of the world to study the world does not come easy to children Leona Schauble, Vanderbilt University Prolonged experience with phenomena Posing and revising questions working over time to make explicit and refine criteria for good questions Parsing objects and events into attributes that bear on the question Considering/debating means of measuring attributes in ways that support an initial model of the phenomenon (considering the measure properties of those attributes Generating/creating data (observing its measure qualities, reliability, etc 62
55 Continued... Structuring data (patterns are made, not found) Interpreting data as evidence model construction Model testing against the original phenomenon & new cases Generation/entertainment of alternative models Evaluation of model fit Model selection/revision... which usually results in theoretically deeper questions Lehrer, R., Schauble, L., & Lucas, D.
