Recent reports have begun to lay the foundation for a re-visioned K-8 science curriculum which includes four strands that could be used define and assess proficiency all students. Using these as an analytic lens, this pre-post multiple-case case study explores elementary school teachers’ practices their students’ actions. This work focuses on naturally occurring ordinary events builds description of how proficiencies are being developed. The results cross-case analyses suggest while...
Incorporating active learning strategies into introductory STEM courses has been shown to improve student outcomes, however, these activities take class time execute. The question of how implement effective without sacrificing a significant volume content coverage led the development “flipped” model instruction. This flipped requires students responsibility for some basic concepts prior attending so instructor can use newly freed incorporate activities. study investigated impact implementing...

Abstract Modeling in elementary STEM curriculum Elementary science affords many opportunities for students to engage ininquiry science, technological problem solving and meaning making through scientific andengineering models modeling. An ongoing practice is the emphasis on student observationsand sense across sciences (e.g., states of matter, soils, food chemistry landforms).The pedagogical challenge instruction that exploits learning around processes andmechanisms underlie visible...
Abstract Exchange -- Emerging teacher professional development based on evidence-based research For the past two years Graphically Enhanced Elementary Science (GEES), an NSF-funded initiative, has pursued in student and scientific representational practicesduring inquiry-based elementary science. Through multiple modes of data collection—includingclassroom observations, photographing science notebook pages, studentinterviews—various aspects emerged. At numerous stages ofthe project, was...
