Discussion and Supporting Materials

Thought starters

1. How does Deeper Learning happen in science with students who are new to English?

2. In what ways do students and teachers both leverage students' native languages as an asset for learning?

3. How does project-based learning lead to deep and integrated learning of language and content?

Jordan Wolf, a science teacher at Flushing International High School, describes how he designs projects to meet the content and language needs of his students. Jordan talks about how he simultaneously develops content and language skills through small group work, hands-on activities, and heterogeneous group work.

Thanks for visiting! Right now you're on PHYSICS4KIDS.COM. If you are looking for basic physics information, stay on this site. It's not just physics for kids, it's for everyone. We have information onmotion, heat and thermodynamics, electricity & magnetism, light, and modern physics topics. If you're still not sure what to click, try our site map that lists all of the topics on the site. If you surf and get lost in all of the information, use the search function on the side of the pages.

OKAY! Let's start here...

So you're asking, what isphysics? Everything in the universe has an effect on every other thing. Physicists study those effects. Physics is a science that relates to all other sciences: Chemistry, Biology, Geology, Astronomy, Meteorology, Engineering, etc. If you can name it, chances are physics is involved.

Everything on Earth, everything in our solar system, everything in our galaxy, and everything in the Universe moves and interacts, and forces play a big part in that. Physics studies thoseforces and interactions. Let's get started and look inside the physics of motion called classical mechanics. Go take a look!

That's it for the introduction. Now it is up to you to click and have fun! PHYSICS4KIDS is one of many free science sites developed by the team at the Kapili Islands. You may have also used Chem4Kids, Geography4Kids, Biology4Kids, or Cosmos4Kids. We also have a math activity site called NumberNut.com.

Description

Science educators in the United States are adapting to a new vision of how students learn science. Children are natural explorers and their observations and intuitions about the world around them are the foundation for science learning. Unfortunately, the way science has been taught in the United States has not always taken advantage of those attributes. Some students who successfully complete their K-12 science classes have not really had the chance to "do" science for themselves in ways that harness their natural curiosity and understanding of the world around them.

The introduction of the Next Generation Science Standards led many states, schools, and districts to change curricula, instruction, and professional development to align with the standards. Therefore existing assessments-whatever their purpose-cannot be used to measure the full range of activities and interactions happening in science classrooms that have adapted to these ideas because they were not designed to do so. Seeing Students Learn Science is meant to help educators improve their understanding of how students learn science and guide the adaptation of their instruction and approach to assessment. It includes examples of innovative assessment formats, ways to embed assessments in engaging classroom activities, and ideas for interpreting and using novel kinds of assessment information. It provides ideas and questions educators can use to reflect on what they can adapt right away and what they can work toward more gradually.

"Everyone tells us we need to teach this way, but no one has shown us how. This shows us how!"

~ teacher at NSTA conference in 2014

"For the first time in over 20 years of teaching, I'm confident that my students understand this. They don't need to memorize formulas or math jingles. They really understand the math."

~ a seventh grade Algebra teacher

"When I do my walk-arounds, I see 100% engagement in high-level math discussion. That's never happened before, and it's exciting."

~ principal in a participating school
