ABCUSD California Mathematics and Science Partnership (CaMSP) STEM Professional Learning Initiative

Primary Goal

Prepare teachers in ABCUSD to deliver high quality instruction aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), with full integration of the engineering standards at all levels.

Give a specific example for one of the above. K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

Give a specific example for one of the above. Fore the circled one: Could be as simple as teacher lectures a gives list of facts vs students develop their own knowledge through experimentation and open ended questions. Try to explain phenomena.

You may bend the pipe cleaner as needed but may not touch the pencil with your hands when you are moving the pencil across desks

Share out the process you did to solve the problemHow would you decide which design is best?

Do we want to add something like this? Maybe for the elementary teachers to talk about constraints.

Another Way to Understand the Engineering Design ProcessNGSS Engineering at JPL: Introduction

-Have some appreciation of the beauty and wonder of science; -Possess sufficient knowledge of science and engineering to engage in public discussions on related issues; be careful consumers of scientific and technological information related to their everyday lives; be able to continue to learn about science outside school; have the skills to enter careers of their choice, including (but not limited to) careers in science, engineering, and technology -adapted from A Framework for K-12 Science Education (2012)K-12 Alliance/WestEd 2014

Why did Rosie go into the trash?

What did Rosie do with the machines that she made?What are some inventions Rosie made when she was young?

What invention did she make for her Uncle Fred the Zookeeper?

How did Uncle Fred react to Rosies invention?What did Aunt Rose build when she was younger?What did Aunt Rose still want to do in her life?

What did Rosie want to build for her Aunt Rose?

What was the name of Rosies new invention?

What happened when Rosie tested her new invention?

What was Aunt Roses reaction to Rosies flight test?How did Aunt Rose;s laughing make Rosie feel?

What did Aunt Rose say to Rosie about her invention?Why should Rosie keep trying to make the cheese-copter?

Why should Rosie keep trying to make the cheese-copter?

What gift did Rosie receive from her aunt?

What changed Rosies attitude about being an engineer?

Pretend you are Rosie Revere, Engineer. Here is your task:

20 spaghetti noodles 1 meter tape 1 meter string 1 marshmallowI liked the way the lesson plan I shared introduced the activity: Structures are an important part of our lives. We live in buildings, cross bridges, and climb jungle gyms. All of these structures have to be strong and hold up heavy things. Today, well use everyday materials to design our own structures. Our structures will need to hold up a marshmallow at the top. Whichever team builds the tallest stable structure wins a prize! (Hint: it may be a marshmallow.) I dont know if we want to actually give a prize at the end - it may make it more competitive than we want it to be - but I liked the first few sentences in particularThe RulesUsing only the items in this bag, build the TALLEST structure you can! Some rules: You have 18 minutes, then its hands off! You can break the spaghetti, tape, string however you want. You dont have to use all the materialsYour goal is to construct the tallest free-standing structure measured from table to marshmallow. So the marshmallow goes on top!No eating the marshmallow! After 18 minutes well measure each teams tower height.Change the winner is the team with to your goal is to construct theSome questions to think about: How did your team do?

What decisions did you make to build your tower?

Split slide so that questions 1 and 2 are on this slide, question 3 is on the next slide with the Engineering Design Process (copy and paste from Aileens). Put questions 4 and 5 on the third questions slide

Which steps of the engineering design process did your team do?

What would you do differently if you had another chance?

If you could have one more item in your bag, what would you choose?

Now, using the same materials, build an animal with a marshmallow headNot sure if we want to include this or not, or if we want to rephrase it to say something elseInclude pictures here? Or on the next slide (for teachers only)
