  • To get students to develop a deep, conceptual understanding of science ideas that can be used in different situations.  
  • To give students the opportunity to use new knowledge to explain phenomena and make connections to science ideas

    Use new ideas to:
    • explain a new situation or phenomenon
    • make predictions
    • make sense of new observations/experimental data 
    • create synthesis diagrams or concept maps 
    • design a solution to a practical problem
    • think, reason, explain
    • practice/wrestle with new ideas
    When is it used:  
    • After students have encountered new science ideas 
    • Often
    • Before your final assessments 
    • Throughout the unit, not just at the end

  • Providing students opportunities to summarize and synthesize new science ideas helps them internalize new ways of thinking and “make it their own.” 
  • Students make sense of new science concepts by summarizing what they know about them  or synthesizing the new information  in order to make connections between ideas

  • Makes students’ understandings and confusions visible
  • Is not just a summary that students can memorize
  • Can be used after students have encountered new ideas (at the end of a lesson or series of lessons based on one idea) or any time students are organizing science ideas
  • Sometimes the entire lesson is focused on a synthesis activity
  • Might include sentence starters or a list of concepts to terms to include

  • Used at the end of a lesson to “wrap up” the lesson
  • Clarifies the intended learning goals of the lesson
  • Can be a statement of where they got in the lesson and what they still need to learn if it is a multiday lesson
  • Should focus on conceptual understanding not just a list of facts
  • Should match the main learning goal
  • Should be scientifically accurate
  • Can be stated by the teacher or the students

  • returning students’ attention to the focus question and for clarifying the intended learning goals of the lesson.
  • To make connections between the science ideas or between the science ideas and the activities in the lesson to highlight how they support the main learning goal of the lesson.
  • To tie the storyline together
