6 NGSS Analyze and interpret Describe process, changes, differences Gather and make sense of information Predict Design and project to test Ask questions

7 CCSS Science teachers also are shifting to the Common Core Literacy Standards.

8 NGSS & CCSS Many of the NGSS skills are honed during labs resulting in lab reports or scientific writing. The time between class lab work and writing labs at home can have challenges such as: Insufficient notes or recorded data Confusion of the significance of results Accuracy in describing lab results Effective analyzation of results Poor conclusions

9 Technology Solution Technology offers solutions such as: Document work done in the lab to revisited as they write Images Videos Audio recording Teacher can easily share Lab report templates Original Source materials Multimedia information

10 Why Digital Science Notebooks Access Collaboration Shared Data Intuitive Interface Media Enabled Learner Centered Enhanced Assessment

11 Traditional Science Notebooks

12 Digital Tools for Science Notebooks

13 Table of Contents in Science Notebook

14 Table of Contents Google Drive can be the Table of Contents for the student s Digital Science Notebook.

15 Making prediction in a notebook

16 Collaborative KWL A shared Google Doc can allow all students to predict together.

17 Class Discussion Drawing & Notes A shared Google Drawing can allow all students to discuss together and take notes.

18

19 Student Create Drawings & Notes Google Drawing can allow all students to create digital drawings and add notes.

20 Teacher Provided Materials and Information

21 Digital Images from Teacher Teachers can easily share digital images and resources with students (no more sissors and glue).

22 Add Images to label

23 Insert Student Drawings Take a picture of a student drqwing to add to their notebook

24 Lab Reports

25 Template for Lab Reports Teachers can easily share lab report templates with a shared Google doc.

26 Template for Lab Reports-Catlin Tucker

27 Class Note Taker Rotating the role of class notetaker using a Google Doc that is shared with all students.

28 Class Discussion BUT not in class Assign an article for students to read outside of class, share a Google doc with a question, have students pick a font color and they add their responses to the doc.

29 Collaborative Writing Working on the same document, using the commenting tool student can create lab write ups together.

30 Collaborative Writing-Commenting Tool

31 Managing Online Collaborative Work Use the See History tool to manage what each student did on a collaborative document.

32 Managing Online Collaborative Work When you click on a student s name their work is highlighted on the document.

33 Support from the Teacher Using the commenting tool a teacher can provide feedback to student writing.

34 Making Arguments Student can develop their arguments using Google Docs and Google Draw.

35 Collecting Data Student can insert photos taken during data collection.

36 Google Documents and Draw Replaces MS Word Revision history Autosave Collaboration Comment Feature No more attachments Accessible from anywhere, anytime Synchronous Use

37 Collecting Data for Experiments How does the angle of a ramp affect the distance travelled?

38 Collecting Data for Experiments-Google Sheets Sharing a Google Sheet with student so they can enter their individual data on an experiment provides moments for discussion.

39 Collecting Data for Experiments-Google Sheets Using Graphs Creating graphs from the different student groups helps for deeper discussions.

40 Collecting Data for Experiments-Google Sheets Analysis Data "If you look at the graph they are all the most in the middle, like around 45 degrees. That makes it go farther." "If you look at 80 degrees it is a lot more all over the place. The numbers are high and low. At 20 degrees the numbers are closer together." "We all got zero centimeters for an angle of zero."

41 Collecting Data for Experiments-Google Sheets Using Graphs Adding a graph: highlight the data (no units) and insert chart, select the appropriate chart for the data collected.

42 Managing Students Collecting Data for Experiments-Google Sheets Before any online collaboration with students make sure they understand you can see what each of them are doing with the Revision History tool. This will also help for correcting errors.

43 Google Sheets Replaces Excel Organizes Data Efficiently Ease of Analysis (use Formulas) Share Data Make Graphs Data is more robust because there is only one copy

44 Google Map Using the measuring tool on Google maps or a pedometer student can make a visual log of their walking

45 Student Collaboration & Experiment Design Students can provide feedback to other students on their experimental plan.

46 Data Collection Using a shared Google Sheet for student to enter their data. Student self regulate seeing missing data.

47 Analyze Data Creating a graph from the shared class data provides is a powerful tool for discussion.

48 Using Blogger students can put the parts of their lab as individual posts in the Blog.

49 Students can add pictures and videos of experiments and test.

50 Students can add typed or pictures of handwritten lab data. View live Blog
