ELEMENTARY SCIENCE...
FOSS OVERVIEW
INSTRUCTOR(S): Melody Orban,
Kenosha Unified School District
GRADE LEVEL: K-5
Intended for those new to FOSS and FOSS users: we will
examine FOSS science kits and guided inquiry.
"Making sense out of experiences and incorporating that
sense into an ever-deepening knowledge of the natural
world is the highest order of achievement FOSS expects
to provide for students." What teacher behaviors
lead to instruction that ensures students record data
clearly and accurately, can interpret data, and relate
findings to the key concepts?
Topics Include:
-
Recognize the state science standards addressed in
various science kits.
-
Use a variety of assessment tools such as teacher
observation/anecdotal notes and rubrics for scoring
science work.
-
Discuss questioning techniques that lead to
higher-order thinking.
Learning Activities:
 |
Participate in set up, activity, and assessment
of investigations in kit-based science. |
|
|
Examine pacing guides for instruction for one
kit during a quarter. |
|
|
Review professional technology resources for
science. |
|
|
Discuss current journal articles
on science instructional topics. |
