Witten) No Meetings: 10/22- Parent/Teacher Conference 10/29- Fall Break 11/5 - Faculty Meeting 1. Looked at Science Frameworks from 2007-08 CSAP- which concepts did students have difficulty with that can be supported in Science Lab 2. Which standards/skills can be grouped together into an experiment that will support it. 3. As part of lab include vocabulary pertinent to science method (hypothesis, variable, observation, states of matter etc.) __ TASKS for next week __ : 1. Looking over CSAP Framework scores for Science, each member needs to select concepts that students scored poorly on. Then come to the meeting with a list of these concepts and some ideas about an experiment that would accommodate those standards. We will then develop labs from these concepts for the rest of the year. 2. (Members can also look over the handout from 10/8 titled, **__Vertical Team Science: Some Noticings__** for additional concepts that students had difficulty with on last year’s CSAP for upcoming labs.) Science Lab for November and December: November- Water Cycle in **__Science Experiments for Young Learners__** pg. 40. December-Electrical circuits “Light It Up” in **__Science Experiments for Young Learners__** page 86. Back to meeting notes page
