  • To provide students  opportunities and time to assimilate and understand ideas using a variety ways of activities until they really make sense of them 
  • To help students use ideas to explain new situations 
  • To provide students the opportunity to deeply learn the complex science ideas and develop comfort and success in the use and application of them

  • Takes place AFTER the students first encounter an idea (not at beginning of lesson)
  • Requires multiple contexts
  • Should happen BEFORE the assessment

  • Focused on making connections among ideas
  • Pushes students to go beyond thinking of ideas in isolation
  • To make connections with ideas and experiences. 
  •  Helps students think, reason, and make sense of science by internalizing this new thinking and making it their own

  • Stated or created by students
  • Might include a visual representation (concept map; Venn diagram; idea tracker)

  • The strategies are clear when you read about them, but confusing when you try to identify them in a lesson.
  •  It is difficult for me to differentiate them and to identify one for the other in the video.
  • What is the difference between strategy I and 9? 
  •  What do you do if you get to the very end of the lesson and you have a student that summarizes incorrectly? 
  • What graphic organizers besides the idea tracker can help me during instruction for using this strategy?
  • Are question stems for good for this activity?


    • Does Stella have any concern for potential introduction of concepts and vocabulary through digital learning website and game-based learning, such as with the science learning website Legends of Learning, prior to a unit or lessons on a topic? 

    •  Next, Does STeLLA have any suggestions for what you have seen work particularly well for science notebooks, as it relates to the size and construction?  

    • Lastly, I noticed that the mountain formation lesson was taught to 7th graders.  What is STeLLA’s stance on these lessons being taught outside of grades 4 and 5, such as with 6th graders?
