This one-day session will take participants through an examination of what hands-on, minds-on science should look like, and sound like, and what this can do for students, Grade 4-8th, using standard based strategies to connect across all contents. Participants will develop an overall understanding of what you, as the expert, want your students to come away with at the end of the lesson. These inquiry based lessons will guide participants in determining what student to know and be able to do. This structure will guide student in investigation and question strategies to get the most out of every lesson. This session will feature performance expectations, graphics, and other metacognitive aids that can be used by teachers and students alike to guide and assess growth in the use of language through science activities. Through the Connection of literacy we will show how teachers can use practical classroom techniques for combining science and language literacy at different grade levels.
