Science Department Resources for Mastery of Curriculum and State Assessments

This session aims to recap visions of scientists and scholars in our schools, provide information on state, district, and teacher-created exams, review available resources for achieving curriculum mastery, and explore real-world applications of science investigations. Students will also receive literacy supports and sample questions for the Nature of Science.

  2. Science Department Session Goals • Recap visions of scientists and scholars in our schools • Provide information on EOCs (state, district and teacher-created) and FCAT 2.0 • Review resources available to achieve mastery of curriculum Division of Academics – Department of Science

  3. Student work samples:

  4. Real-World Applications:Science investigations must go beyond the classroom

  5. Literacy Supports Content Area State Assessment reasoning • Sample FCAT 2.0 Science Nature of Science Question • Students in Ms. Alvarez’s eighth grade science class are investigating how temperature, in degrees Celsius affects the solubility of a compound in 100 milliliters (mL) of water. Ms. Alvarez provides the students with a graph that shows the solubility of a certain compound, as shown below. (˚C), She then tells the students that she will demonstrate how many grams (g) of the compound will dissolve in 100 mL of water at Based on the information in the graph, which of the following is the best prediction of how many grams of the compound will dissolve at 40˚C. 40˚C? F. 40 g. G. 65 g. H. 85 g. I. 100 g. evidence claim

  11. The Power of Science • Science isn’t just memorizing facts. • Science standards will help students understand the world around them. • The scientific skills and attitudes students learn will provide them with powerful problem-solving skills. • Every student deserves to benefit from scientific thinking.
