 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">ENGAGE **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Students complete the formative assessment probe entitled “Doing Science” by Page Keeley. Use the “Four Corners Strategy” by Page Keeley.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. Complete the [|Science Exemplar: Getting Started with Science Portfolios What is Science?] Ask and discuss: · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">What do scientists do? · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">What does science look like?

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">3. Brainstorm as a group before independent work.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">4. On a sheet of paper, create a foldable page addressing the questions. Fold a blank sheet of paper in half. Then cut the top flap in half vertically. Write one question on each flap. Underneath the flaps the students will write and draw responses.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">5. When complete, students do a gallery walk to share out. Add to science notebooks.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">1. Discuss how and where scientists record the results of their investigations and their reflections. Begin setting up science notebooks for students to record their own findings and reflections. Refer to the recommendations in the [|Getting Started Guide].
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">After gallery walk, teacher creates RAN, KLEW, or KWHL chart using student observations. ||
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">EXPLORE **

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">2. Students share the scientists they know. Answer questions and clarify misconceptions during an introduction of various scientists.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;">4. After viewing the video, click the “More to Explore” images to learn more about Marie Curie. || · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Have our ideas changed about science and scientists? · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">What surprised you about Marie Curie? · <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">What do we need to move on our charts?
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">EXPLAIN **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Discuss the scientist and revisit the chart (RAN, KWEL, KWHL) created earlier. Ask and discuss:

1. Students create a trading card picturing the scientist from the video. This will be an on-going activity. Throughout the year create trading cards for various scientists who have contributed to grade level content. One card may be posted in the room on a graphic organizer and added to as the year progresses.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Discuss in pairs, share out as group. Complete chart with teacher. ||
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">ELABORATE **

2. Individual trading cards should be saved and added to science notebooks. ||
 * **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">EVALUATE **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Teacher Observation

A cute story about Sponge Bob and Patrick doing an experiemtn in the lab. I have students read the story and underline the good choices in green and the times they did not follow safety rules in red.

These are great to have students act out what is happening and what to do about it.

This is a longer list of safety rules but I feel it is more comprehensive than the short list they put in their journals.

The font may be messed up but I used this last year when we discussed the scientific process. You may want to even shrink it and let each student glue on in their journals.

This powerpoint matches the lab safety rules above.
