3D Investigation in Earth Science Session #3 by Mr.Lawrence https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs Describe your success level for you and your students with implementing and engaging with data driven investigations. en-us 2017-12-02 14:43:31 UTC 2017-12-04 22:42:26 UTC hello@padlet.com Climographs https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213102851 If you'd like to see your students' heads explode, introduce a graph with left AND right axes. 

We're (my students and I) are still working out the kinks of this one together. ]]> 2017-12-04 22:36:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213102851 I have used the data table/figure analysis handout only twice, but I have seen an increase in student justification using data directly after we did those exercises. Still struggling with timing! https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213102882 2017-12-04 22:36:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213102882 Using Evidence mr_lawrence334 https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213102933 My students struggle with using evidence in their responses. However using the graph, chart, image scaffolds helped them decipher meaning. ]]> 2017-12-04 22:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213102933 https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103045 I feel more successful in scaffolding questions to help my students look at the information in front of them. I also feel that we (my students and I) have a long way to go in terms of truly understanding what's behind the data - what does it all really mean for us, in this class, as teenagers?]]> 2017-12-04 22:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103045 Implementing and Interpreting Data Investigations: https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103064
I feel that my students and I have had success at the most basic level of finding relationships between two variables on a graph, but I rarely have found opportunities to push their thinking to develop a claim, finding evidence and using reasoning in order to make a scientific explanation. ]]> 2017-12-04 22:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103064 Evidence https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103096 My students are doing relatively well making connections between data they're given or data they collect and describing relationships or creating explanations; however, they are reluctant to include numerical data in their explanations to better support the relationships they are trying to describe.   ]]> 2017-12-04 22:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103096 https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103161 I think my students have felt by incorporating the real world data a more general sense of context and importance for the course.

I have been finding success with using the checklist questions regarding the diagrams/graphs etc. However, I haven't been able to make it entirely generic but instead need to modify it based on different diagrams.]]> 2017-12-04 22:38:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103161 Reasoning https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103216 I have been surprisingly successful at having my students learn from data. However, they resist making the reasoning based on scientific principals on their own. They would rather it come from me. Example, "so the moon's % of illumination increases with angles so.... like yeah!]]> 2017-12-04 22:38:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103216 Introducing CER https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103246 I am still in the process of implementing the protocol where students know to follow a checklist when students come across any diagrams or graphs on the Earth Science Regents. I am interested in implementing CER(Claim, Evidence, Reasoning) activities as a department for each of the labs, so students are encouraged to authentically reflect and think about each labs in more depth.]]> 2017-12-04 22:38:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103246 I find the most success when I see them struggle and then model exactly how to use the data to solve the problem. The repetition of them seeing different data, using the same process, has really helped them make much better arguments/claims about data sets given to them tarafayeware https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103396 2017-12-04 22:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103396 Students do well with arriving at basic conclusions but fail to delve deep into the material and determine slight trends. https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103643 2017-12-04 22:41:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_lawrence334/56140acwsobs/wish/213103643
