Science and Engineering Practices by Rebekah Boekweg https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1 en-us 2017-03-03 14:32:27 UTC 2025-11-02 20:36:58 UTC hello@padlet.com Asking Questions and Defining Problems boekwegr https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157620040 students should ask questions about what they read, see, discuss, etc. This should happen in every lesson. Students should explore the content and by doing so have questions. They should want to know why something works. 
We can do this in a lesson by asking questions about what would happen if we changed a key part in an investigation. ]]> 2017-03-03 14:34:47 UTC https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157620040 Developing and Using Models boekwegr https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157621254 Students should use models in the classroom and this can vary. In a lesson they can do anything from diagrams, formulas, pictures,  to full scale models. We use this in a lesson to show how something works. ]]> 2017-03-03 14:38:22 UTC https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157621254 Planning and Carrying Out Investigations boekwegr https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157624297 Students should explore. For a lesson the exploring should be structured by the teacher and it should be something the students are not likely to do on their own. 
We can do this in a lesson by having students explore the reliability of some methods in collecting data. ]]> 2017-03-03 14:46:02 UTC https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157624297 Analyzing and Interpreting Data boekwegr https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157628434 Students in a class would do this by organizing data so they can find patterns in their observations and make connections through that. 
We can do this in a lesson by having students compare predictions to what occurred.]]> 2017-03-03 14:57:15 UTC https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157628434 Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking boekwegr https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157629568 Students use mathematics and computational thinking in lessons to show different variables and their relationships. They then use this to make predictions.
We can do this in our classrooms by have our students who two solutions to a problem using quantitative data. ]]> 2017-03-03 15:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157629568 Practice 6 Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions boekwegr https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157631051 Students do this in their lessons when they try to demonstrate why they think something works and because of this explanation they can arrive at a solution to to the problem. 
We can do this in a less by having students can look at and come up with different solutions to a problem. ]]> 2017-03-03 15:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157631051 Engaging in Argument from Evidence boekwegr https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157633444 When students learn something they should be able to argue  for or against  the concept.
We can do this in a lesson by have students determine if some evidence is relative to a scientific question or not. ]]> 2017-03-03 15:11:54 UTC https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157633444 Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information boekwegr https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157634818 Students should be able to demonstrate the information they have found in their exploring process. We can do this in a lesson by have studentshttps://i.vimeocdn.com/portrait/2370260_300x300 explain why something works through modeling . ]]> 2017-03-03 15:15:24 UTC https://padlet.com/boekwegr/9345sbu1q1/wish/157634818
