Claim, Evidence, Reasoning is an analysis tool used to connect science and engineering practices through NGSS. We will share examples of how we are using CER in our classes as a lab report tool to complete the analysis and conclusion portions of our labs. We will also share examples of how we are using CER as a tool for working on topics related to scientific literacy, applications to phenomenon and showing how we guide students to finding the CER in presented data from a variety of sources.
Participants will play our freely available, educational digital games and discuss how and where they can effectively meet crucial science standards and engage students. The games can be found AtomTouch: https://www.brainpop.com/games/atomtouch/ Crystal Cave: https://www.brainpop.com/games/crystalcave/ Stranded at the Forever Mine: https://fielddaylab.wisc.edu/play/forevermine/
Participants will learn about the types of and easy ways to use phenomena as they experience instruction utilizing anchoring, investigative, and everyday phenomena.
Join our team and take away 12 engagement strategies that will have your students discussing and writing about scientific phenomena and developing the NGSS practices.
eCYBERMISSION (sponsored by the U.S. Army Educational Outreach Program (AEOP)) is a web-based STEM competition that encourages 6th-9th grade students to experience STEM by exploring issues in their community using the process of science or the engineering design process. eCYBERMISSION is free to participate in, students can earn monetary awards, and past participants have been featured in their local papers, on the Jimmy Fallon Show, hosted TED talks, and had doors opened to many other different authentic learning opportunities.
