Using models can begin in the early grades with students using pictures, and then advancing to more abstract representations.  makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132867865 2016-10-24 22:40:03 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132867865 One way you could use models in a lesson would be to model the rain cycle, using pictures and diagrams.  makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868056 2016-10-24 22:42:20 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868056 Planning and Carrying Out Investigations makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868131 2016-10-24 22:43:09 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868131 Investigations should be staged by the teacher, be engaging, and expose an issue students wouldn't explore by themselves. makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868275 2016-10-24 22:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868275 You could use an investigation in a lesson by giving the students a problem, having them plan out a way to figure out the answer, and then have them keep testing their ideas and modifying until they have figured out the solution.  makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868384 2016-10-24 22:45:47 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868384 Analyzing and Interpreting Data makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868620 2016-10-24 22:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868620 It is important to organize data in graphs, tables, etc., to make it easier to analyze and see patterns in results, and understand what the results of the data represent.  makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868708 2016-10-24 22:49:17 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868708 After collecting data for an experiment or investigation, you could have students organize their results in a table. You could then ask them to look for patterns to see what the results of their experiment show. makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868944 2016-10-24 22:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132868944 Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132869059 2016-10-24 22:52:52 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132869059 Allows complex questions to be answered using complex models to investigate and analyze. makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132869353 2016-10-24 22:56:18 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132869353 In a classroom, you could use a computer program to graph more complex data in order to better analyze and understand the results.  makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132869706 2016-10-24 22:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132869706 Constructing Explinations and Designing Solutions makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132869811 2016-10-24 23:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132869811 Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132870469 2016-10-24 23:08:27 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132870469 Students need to be able to read, write, and interpret scientific text in order to correctly communicate their findings makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132870685 2016-10-24 23:11:05 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132870685 One way you could use this in your classroom is first teach different scientific language, then have students write about what they observed using that scientific language. This would give them the chance to practice using this kind of writing.  makenzie_rae1 https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132870777 2016-10-24 23:12:24 UTC https://padlet.com/makenzie_rae1/jm2w288tjh56/wish/132870777
