1 Practice Makes Perfect Classroom Activities to Highlight the Eight Essential Practices of Science & Engineering IMSA Professional Development Day Aurora, Illinois March 1, 2013 Mary Lou Lipscomb & Liz Martinez IMSA FUSION www3.imsa.edu/programs/fusion

2 What is IMSA FUSION? After school math/science enrichment program for talented, motivated students in 4 8 th grade Schools apply to partner with IMSA Curriculum for 2 units of study per year with lab materials/equipment provided to schools 5.5 days of teacher professional development and 64 hours of student contact per year Data driven program; research and evaluation shows that both students and teachers are impacted by FUSION Copyright 2013 Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy

3 IMSA FUSION Goals Increase student interest, involvement, literacy in science and math Enhance knowledge and skills of teachers Promote excellence in school math and science programs Help increase access to programs for students historically underrepresented in math and science and in all areas of the state Copyright 2013 Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy

4 Rescuing Fibonacci the FUSION Mascot Based on Save Fred from Science and Life Issues (2001), Lab-Aids, Inc.

5 Meet Fibonacci FUSION Mascot and Avid Sailor Fibonacci s Boat: S.S. FUSION Safety First: Fib s Life Vest Life Saver approved!

6 Tough Times at Lake IMSA! Rough Water! Boat Capsized! Fibonacci is NOT Wearing Life Vest! Fibonacci and Life Vest Are Trapped Under S.S. FUSION!

7 Your Job: Rescue Fibonacci! Flip Boat Right Side Up Put Life Vest on Fibonacci Put Fibonacci in the Boat

8 Rescue Tools 4 Paper Clips

9 Rescue Rules Work with a partner Only Paper Clips May Touch Boat, Vest & Fibonacci If Fibonacci, Boat, or Vest Fall into Lake IMSA (the table), START OVER You May Not Poke, Rip, Tear, Harm Fibonacci or Vest

10 Life Saver Approved Correct Position of Life Vest Fibonacci Halfway Through Life Vest

11 Harmful to Fibonacci! Floaties NOT Allowed Ripped Vest Help

12 Make Sure Fibonacci is Safe and Sound and on his way Sailing Home

13 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Three Dimensions Dimension 1: Practices engaging in scientific investigation requires not only skill but also knowledge that is specific to each practice explains and extends what is meant by inquiry in science and the range of cogitative, social and physical practices that it requires the eight practices will be the focus of this workshop Source:

14 Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Three Dimensions Dimension 2: Crosscutting Concepts Applications across all domains of science: Patterns, Similarity, & Diversity Cause & Effect Scale, Proportion, & Quantity Systems & System Models Energy & Matter Structure & Function Stability & Change Source:
