NGSS Dimension 2 component (Crosscutting Concepts) NGSS Dimension 3 ETS 1: Engineering design component ETS 2: Links among engineering, technology, science, and society (Disciplinary Core Ideas) Dimension 3 5 7 Days Duration: – Planning Stages Within the 5-E Inquiry Model Engage PURPOSE: To determine the density of glass for crime scene investigation to engage students in investigations that reveal their thinking to themselves and the teacher (Glass Density lab) to record the initial ideas of students (pretest KWL formative assessment) – to engage interest (CSI video) What is the teacher doing? Facilitating lab experience with safety precautions Modifying lab procedures and materials What are the students doing? Investigating the physical properties of glass for future crime scene investigation Explore PURPOSE: to test ideas and develop knowledge using explorations, investigations, experiments (Glass Density Lab, Measurement lab) to modify and record as they change due to activities (KWL) to develop new questions and testable hypotheses (KWL) Activities (list) Driving Question Measurement Lab (units & instruments & How can density be used to methods) identify evidence at a crime Density Rainbow scene? Density & Volume Glass Density Student Communication Product: (written report, oral presentation, poster, etc.) (consider showing of student products to help student identify characteristics of quality) “Models” Identify a series of different glass pieces determined by density, group presentations in front of class with data to back up claims (CER) class discourse/cross-examination – Explain PURPOSE: to answer the Key Question through student explanations to provide students with relevant vocabulary, formal definitions and explanations of concepts
