  • Promote students in thinking about the connections among science ideas in each lesson
  • to link science concepts to each other
  • Visibly linking science ideas from the current lesson to other science ideas from other lessons helps students to develop a deeper understanding of the learning goal.

    • The content storyline is easier to follow if the main learning goal, supporting science ideas, and the flow of events are highlighted at crucial points during the lesson.
    • Highlighting the key science ideas helps students focus on what’s important.
    • to tie in the concept to the question

  • referring to the FQ during the lesson, constantly.
  • telling students “this is a key science idea”
  • writing the important ideas on the board
  • asking students to write science ideas in their notebook.
  • revisit essential science ideas repeatedly

  • What is the importance of the Focus Question? And when/how should we use it?
  • Can we use multiple strategies at once?
  • How do we plan to connect the questions, the concepts and the ideas?
  • When do we link science ideas to other science ideas? (Strategy G)
  • Can strategy G also be when the teacher is connecting one activity to another within the same lesson rather than from one lesson to another lesson?
  • Who highlights key ideas?
