Science Department Evaluate Task 3.4.19 by Chekema Hector-Browne https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik Please put your first and last name before your respond. List two reasons why it is important for students in science to learn how to develop and refine models. en-us 2019-03-01 18:29:18 UTC 2026-01-13 20:52:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Hope Hood https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337449593 1. It is important for students to develop models to communicate information that cannot be observed in traditional ways.
2.It is important for students to refine models to show how their understanding changes as they are learning the content]]> 2019-03-04 13:38:57 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337449593 William Sligh https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337451958 1. There are many things discussed in science classes that can not be brought into the classroom so models are important to understand the concept.
2. Refining the models allows students to see their own growth and how they learn. ]]> 2019-03-04 13:44:58 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337451958 Ashley Carey SummerourCarey https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452138 1. Allows  teacher to have thorough formative data by looking at the iterations of models.
2. Re-inforces scientific skills that are necessary for success not only on county tests but also in upper level science classes]]> 2019-03-04 13:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452138 Brittany Crook https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452288 1. It is important for students to develop direct or abstract models to provide a deeper connection and understanding of the content. 
2. Another reason is for students to be able to revise and improve on their work in order to increase their level of mastery. ]]> 2019-03-04 13:45:52 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452288 Sunya Merchant 1. It is important for students in science to develop models to demonstrate understand abstract topics and connecting them to 21st century skills. 2. It is important for students in science to refine models to show how their thinking may change when new ideas are brought forward. sunya_merchant https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452565 2019-03-04 13:46:34 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452565 Have a deeper understanding of the material as well as be able to see misconceptions students have before teaching using their background information. https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452730 2019-03-04 13:47:00 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452730 Katie Howard katherine_howard2 https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452759 1. Models can help ESOL and SWD visual concepts. Many times these students are reading or hearing about new ideas but they struggle to visual the concept. A model can help students see the concepts.
2. Models also allow teachers to differentiate for different students. You can push a student by asking them to refine an incorrect model or help a struggling student by providing them a template to build off of. ]]> 2019-03-04 13:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337452759 Meg Schultz https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453107 1. It helps them visualize the material. 
2. It helps them evaluate information. ]]> 2019-03-04 13:47:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453107 Erica Pope erica_pope https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453282 Models give a clearer picture to students- especially if they are visual learners, and struggle to fully grasp concepts if they simple hear them. Developing and constructing models can also science more engaging, and well as giving students a deeper connection to the material they are learning.]]> 2019-03-04 13:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453282 Jennifer Stolz https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453355 1. Students do not have enough practice communication why they chose the answers they do. They need to develop the skill of finding and citing evidence to gain a deeper understanding as to why they make the choices that they do.]]> 2019-03-04 13:48:35 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453355 Megan Barnes 1. Students being able to develop and revise a model is an indicator that they have interacted with and understand the material 2. The students need practice in communicating knowledge megan_granger https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453552 2019-03-04 13:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453552 Robin Osborn It is important for students to learn how to develop and refine models so that students can see other representations of what they are learning about. This allows them to see the concept from other sides. It is also important to be able to revise models so that they can troubleshoot potential problems with a model, and correct them from the outside. This thinking allows them to see the big picture, and not just the individual pieces. https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453656 2019-03-04 13:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337453656 Mona Swearingen https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337469605 1.  Students need to learn to develop and refine models because it is a Next Generation Science Standard.  Developing and refining models is a process that scientists use to explain their thinking.  Students need to be able to engage in scientific thinking and models are a good way of illustrating their thinking.
2. Students need to be able to use models to make sense of an unfamiliar, complex, or abstract idea.]]> 2019-03-04 14:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/chekema_hector_browne/r6g4pgljgeik/wish/337469605
