Teacher Blogs Explore State’s Science Standards
By Tiffany Neill, OSDE Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction
Learning from fellow science educators is one of the best ways to add to your own teaching practices. However, many educators don’t have opportunities to watch other teachers or participate in grade-level teams to discuss lessons they’ve taught.
Enter teacher blogs. These sites can be valuable resources for professional development. Two local blogs, OK Sci Teachers and Teaching Elements, focus on lessons incorporating the new Oklahoma Academic Standards for Science.
Explore six great posts from these two sites to get you started.
Melting Ice Investigation: Investigate how quickly ice will melt in bare hands versus a gloved hand.
Students Experiencing 3D Learning for the First Time: A teacher reflects on a first-time lesson introducing new concepts.
Using Phenomenon to Engage Students: Move the application to the beginning of the lesson to explain how molecule behavior, energy and condensation are related.
Generating Phenomena Ideas: Illustrate atmosphere, geosphere and hydrosphere using real-life examples.
Constructing Explanations in Science: Use writing to prompt students to explain their thoughts.
Developing and Using Models: Modeling is more than just labeling the parts of a cell or building DNA models out of candy.

The daVinci Project
July 10 – July 14, 2017
Engineering is a little-taught discipline in the secondary school system nationwide. Consequently, when compared to the existing opportunities, relatively few students select to pursue an engineering education in college. Yet engineering incorporates nearly all of the core science and math subjects taught at America’s high schools.
To help post-elementary schools integrate elemental engineering into the classroom, we developed the daVinci Project geared toward math, science and technology teachers of grades 5-12.
During the July 10 – July 14, 2017 program, participants will spend an exciting week at the Storrs campus learning engineering fundamentals and developing practical curricula and exercises that will help them expose students to engineering. Participants will help select their focused workshop from one of the six areas of engineering specialization. Participating teachers are very excited to go back to their classrooms and discuss how chemistry, physics, biology, and/or math knowledge and skills are integrated into solving challenging real-world problems… it’s called engineering!
Online registration for daVinci 2017 is now open. The application deadline is June 16, 2017.
Jenks FERST – Educator Fire Workshop
Jenks Public Schools would like to invite you to a free workshop about the role that fire plays in Oklahoma’s ecosystems. Part of the workshop will be presentations/discussions covering topics such as fire history/culture, fire ecology, the use of fire to manage land, prescribed fire, and the incorporation of these topics into classroom activities/discussions. Fire ecology allows for dramatic connections with such topics as population ecology, community ecology, biogeochemical cycles, and many other principles of ecology. The other part of the workshop will be spent at Jenks FERST (a long-term, study site). At FERST participants will gainexperience in field ecology techniques and in plant and animal identification. This field work should give participants the knowledge and confidence to use such sampling techniques with their own classes.
