  1. Strategic Science TeachingKindergarten – Physical Science Connecting Literature with the California Science Standards SST K/Physical Science

  2. A model lesson for each grade level: • Literature selection • Science Standards • Literacy Strategy • Science Investigation SST K/Physical Science

  3. http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/sc/ll/ SST K/Physical Science

  4. Browse The Elements of SST Lessons • Standards Alignment • Lesson at a Glance • Teacher Background and Resources • Materials, Vocabulary, and Advanced Preparation • Teacher Tips • Common Misconceptions • Explicit script for delivering the lesson through the 5E instructional model • Teacher Reflection • Teacher and Student pages SST K/Physical Science

  5. The 5E Model of Instruction SST K/Physical Science

  6. My Five Sensesby AlikiWhat Does Matter Look Like? • Essential Question: What can we observe about matter? • Student Outcomes: • Students learn how to use their five senses to observe and describe matter. • Students observe, compare, and describe objects. • Students gain an understanding of vocabulary associated with the five senses from My Five Senses and generate words for a “Concept Wheel”. (Concept Wheel) SST K/Physical Science

  7. Learning Strategy: Guided Reading • Students group words according to the sense that they use to describe objects about which they read in My Five Senses. They then use the words to describe other nearby objects. • They brainstorm, use prior knowledge, and use visual displays to connect the printed word, pictures and concepts. SST K/Physical Science

  8. Modeling the Literacy Strategy “Now that we have read My Five Senses, who can name one of the senses for us to chart on our wheel?” SST K/Physical Science

  9. Modeling the Literacy Strategy What pictures in the book go with the word See? Hear? Please explain your answer. How do our five senses help us describe the properties of matter? SST K/Physical Science

  10. Concept Wheel (it takes practice!) • The Concept Wheel builds on students’ background knowledge and visually displays the connection between prior conceptual knowledge and new vocabulary. • Whole class generation of the Concept Wheel leads to individual record-keeping of new vocabulary by writing or illustrating. SST K/Physical Science

  11. The 5E Learning Cycle Engage Look at an object (a ball for example) and take turns modeling how to describe the “matter” using complete sentences. SST K/Physical Science

  12. Explore • Look around the room and collect objects – samples of samples. • With a partner at your table, share an observation about your matter. • Observing Matter: • My matter looks round and has no edges. • My matter smells like plastic. • My rubber feels soft and squishy. SST K/Physical Science

  13. Explain • On the 5-coulumn Senses Chart record the properties of the matter. • Require that the description be in a full sentence and that the sense used be named. • Encourage the sentence frame “My matter looks ____”, “My matter feels _____”, to produce one word per sample and eventually written observations. SST K/Physical Science

  14. Evaluate • Introduce the My Matter Book project that students will complete. Show a sample book and how each sense will have one page about their an object they select from a collection of objects. • Ask students which senses they can use to describe a selected object. SST K/Physical Science

  15. Elaborate • Play the “What’s My Matter?” game. • Provide “black boxes” with unknown objects inside that students use their sense of touch to describe, then compare with seeing the object. SST K/Physical Science

  16. Teacher Reflection • How does the student work provide evidence of student understanding that matter has properties that can be described using the five senses? • What instructional strategies were used in this lesson promote student understanding? How do you know? • How does the literature selection support student understanding of the science concepts? • How would you modify instruction to ensure understanding of outcomes by all students?
