A recorded version will be available after Monday. Check out the newest page on our website: Solar Eclipse 2017!!! Here you can find lesson ideas per grade band as well as safety information. Parents can get more information about the eclipse at www.cobbk12.org/eclipse
Our first Science and Engineering Practices (SEP) webinar (via Skype) is scheduled for Wednesday, August 9th at 4:30 pm. As you're now aware, the new standards have three "dimensions"- the core content, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts. The SEPs are not only embedded into the new CT&LS standards, but they are also a major component of our Balanced Instructional document. How can we shift our instruction to provide students with opportunities to use these practices? Join us during this 30-minute webinar investigation of the first practice, "Asking Questions and Defining Problems," by clicking this link: www.tinyurl.com/SEPwebinar1
The webinars occur on the second Wednesday of every month: September 13th- Developing and Using Models October 11th- Planning and Carrying Out Investigations November 8th- Analyzing and Interpreting Data January 10th- Using Mathematical and Computational Thinking February 13th*- Constructing Explanations, Arguing From Evidence (will occur on Tues.) March 14th- Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information Open to any 8th Grade Physical Science teacher, this district PLC will meet face-to-face every other month and online during interim months. Deepen your physical science content knowledge, practice implementing lessons aligned to the new standards, and collaborate with other teachers from around the district. Participants are expected to attend at least five of the seven sessions.
