ESSENTIAL QUESTION DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION Scaffold Create groups of four students that are comprised of varying levels of English proficiency. Students with higher levels of English proficiency can serve as a linguistic model when going through the steps of learning about the box. Ensure that they speak slowly and clarify what they mean by pointing to pictures or objects and use physical gestures to communicate. They should point to the illustration for each step in order to ensure that their peers know where they are in the process. Amplify Focus on the investigate step. Write words or phrases for how students could investigate. (Look at the holes closely. Pick the box up. Shake it. Smell it. Listen to it.) Write the information gathered. (We see . We hear .) Then discuss what each group member thinks could be inside. Have students explain their answers orally. Instructional Routine: Vocabulary p. Txxv Instructional Routine: Reading p. Txxi • Read, speak, and write about science This content section focuses on introducing students to science subjects and topics, along with vocabulary needed to access scientific concepts. • Culture note Inquire about your students’ prior experiences with science (studied in school? in the natural world?). Essential question: When do you see and use science? Ask students to answer the essential question. Offer prompts as needed (when you observe nature; use your five senses; ask questions; etc.). Introduction to science • Say: Science is the study of the natural world. We ask questions and make observations. We also use technology. Engineers build and design things, too. • Say: Look at the picture of the box. What do you notice? What questions can you ask? Preview the steps students could use to investigate the box. Academic vocabulary • Use the vocabulary routine to teach the terms science, process, observe, investigate, gather, discuss, and explain. Write the terms on the academic word wall. • Place students in groups of four to answer the question about the box. Lead them through the steps and offer prompts for each. Say: I observe that there are circles on the box. I think they are holes. What needs holes in a box? Talk about why they are there. Discuss. (maybe something that breathes or needs air) EXPLORE AND LEARN UNIT 1 / CONNECT TO SCIENCE Arts Science Social Studies Electives Writing D- Gathering Information E- Discuss you ideas F- Explain your idea A- Work with a team B- Observe the box C- Investigate together Page 30 D- Gathering Information E- Discuss you ideas F- Explain your idea A- Work with a team B- Observe the box C- Investigate together Page 30 D- Gathering Information E- Discuss you ideas F- Explain your idea A- Work with a team B- Observe the box C- Investigate together Page 30 D- Gathering Information E- Discuss you ideas F- Explain your idea A- Work with a team B- Observe the box C- Investigate together Page 30 D- Gathering Information E- Discuss you ideas F- Explain your idea A- Work with a team B- Observe the box C- Investigate together Page 30 D- Gathering Information E- Discuss you ideas F- Explain your idea A- Work with a team B- Observe the box C- Investigate together Page 30 | 56
