| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| each of these statements is a key characterisitic of science: | science focuses on explaining the natural world. science is based on the premise that things and events that happen in the natural world occur in consistent patterns that are comprehensible through careful systematic study. science is a process for produc |
| an explanation of a phenomenon observed in the natural world that has undergone considerable testing and refinement is a: | concept |
| your role as a teacher of science | to help learners develop progressively more sophisticated explanations of natural phenomena over time |
| The Framework committee and subsequent NGSS document recommended that K-12 science education in the United States should be organized around three unified dimensions. Those dimensions are: | scientific and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core idea |
| In the Next Generation Science Standards, the second dimension of the framework is composed of big ideas, known as "Crosscutting Concepts" that are relevant across all science disciplines and engineering fields. They are reminiscent of: | - the "unifying concepts and processes" presented in the National Science Education Standards - the "common themes" identified by Science for All Americans |
| NGSS | Next Generation Science Standards; student performnace expectations |
| Each of the following is a characteristic of Crosscutting Concepts, EXCEPT | are the primary focus of science lessons |
| The Science Framework for the 2009 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP, 2008) specifies content to be assessed by describing key facts, concepts, principles, laws, and theories in three broad scientific disciplines: | physical, life, and earth/space |
| In the NGSS, which of the following could be considered as broad learning goals? | disciplnary core ideas |
| In NGSS the "doing" of science is described by: | Science and Engineering practices |
| If you teach in a state that has adopted NGSS, the science-based content you teach should include: | all three dimensions |
| The central goal of NGSS is for students to be able to | learn phenomena related to science concepts by using science practices and applying those ideas to solve a problem |
| gather information using all appropriate senses and instruments that extend the senses | observing |
| quanity variables using appropriate instruments and units (standardized or non standardized) | measuring |
| group objects or organisms according to one or mroe ocmmon properties | classifying |
| draw a tentative conclusion about observations based on observations and prior knowledge | inferring |
| make a statement to guide an investigation of a question | hypothesizing |
| record observations, measurements, inferences, experiments, conclusions and present them to others | communicating |
| To make a forecast of possible outcome based on known patterns in data | predicting |
| investigate by deliberately manipulating one variable at a time and observing the effect on a responding variable while holding all other variables constant | experimenting |
| Evidence that a learner has conceptual understanding includes all the following, EXCEPT: | the learner remembers the definition of the concept |
| The use of previously learned knowledge in new situations is referred to as | transfer |
| To demonstrate understanding of a scientific idea, a student might: | apply new knowledge to new problems |
| Which statement best describes the process of constructing new knowledge? | learners use prior knowledge to organize incoming information in various ways to form new knowledge, and they integrate new knowledge with prior knowledge to expand their knowledge base |
| What is the current sequential order of the phases of the 5E instructional model? | engage, explore, explain, elaborate, evaluate |
| According to the National Science Education Standards, what should be the primary method of attaining the goal of understanding in science? | inquiry |
| According to the National Science Education Standards, what should be the primary method of attaining the goal of understanding in science | scientific inquiry refers to memorization of technical terms, facts, and theories |
| Which of these features of inquiry-based instruction are teachers supporting when they require students to report on their work, encourage multiple forms of communication, faciliate small and large group discussion? | learners communicate and justify their propsed explanations |
| which phase of the 5E instructional model is most like guided discovery? | explore |
| guided discovery | begins with an interesting question and cocnrete materials. Proceeds through exploration to find answers to questions |
| SCIS learning cycle | consists of three phases of instruction; explore, concept, invention, and application |
| 5E includes the following phases: | engage, explore, explain, eleborate, evaluate |
| hunter's lesson design | provides for direct instruction through the following steps: anticipatory set, objectives and purpose, instructional input, modeling, monitoring understanding and adjusting instruction, and guided independent practice |
