This resource offers definitions & parts of speech for individual words and some phrases. It has most common languages but not all. 

Students use Google Translator, but the teacher should monitor how it's used. Sometimes students use it as a crutch and sometimes it's inaccurate.

- Developing common vocabulary around what the toys do (bounce, pop), anchor chart with visuals to go with this
- Generating questions/hypotheses; checking in with students and making sure their questions are "testable"; using sentence stems
- Group kids according to questions they want to investigate OR group kids according to another criteria (language needs)
- Give kids choices in graphic organizers to plan their investigation (offer pre-made graphic organizers or kids can make their own)
- Vet students' plan

- go over materials list before the investigation
- give students time to explore
- have students develop an experimental question
- students identify variables
- students create hypotheses 
- students create/follow a procedure
- students record data
- students create graphical representations of data
- students share data with other groups
- students interpret what the data is telling them
- students communicate their results with others, develop questions around discrepant results 

2. What supports would be necessary for students of different levels?
- sentence frames for experimental question and hypothesis
- word bank for descriptive words (bounce, drop)
- word bank for content words 
- structure/routine in classroom
- Question stems/discussion stems
- calculators for averages
- diagramming/drawing for procedure instead of listed steps
- cut up procedure steps, students put in correct order ]]> 2017-06-14 17:45:49 UTC https://padlet.com/tmdassler/sciencema/wish/176440963 Table 9-12 https://padlet.com/tmdassler/sciencema/wish/176441068 If we were talking about the amount of kinetic energy, I would ask them what they want to know. What do the toys all have in common? Write or talk about what you want to do. Discuss how they will record the data. Do the experiment. Analyze the data with observation and math computations. Discuss possible explanations in group, present evidence to support your argument.

  • Pictures or illustrations or models with directions
  • Have students develop their own questions for the investigations. Scaffolding how to write a good scientific question (be specific!)
  • Assign roles beforehand (recorder, timer, getter)
  • Sentence stems; CLOZE paragraph (skeleton of a paragraph for students to fill in the blanks as a conclusion)
  • Create a graph of data. Full class share so groups with similar question can compare and interpret.

    - change experiments so that they are more related

    Adapt to include 8 practices:
    - create graphs to represent data
    - compare graphs
    - create inquiry-based question to investigate / test
    - provide extra tools that are not need to conduct experiment
    - what other factors would influence the results (size of ball; surface type)?

    Adapt for ELLs:
    - Provide sentence frames for argumentative / explanatory discussion. Ex: "When I drop the ball from ____ (cm), the ball bounces ______ (cm)." 
    -     Visual check & identify objects 
    - Simple language directions 
    - Manipulatives to demonstrate concepts 
    - Conversation cards ]]>     2017-06-14 17:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/tmdassler/sciencema/wish/176441190
