Assignment: Science learning has layers Assignment Overview Beyond teaching concepts and skills, effective science teaching/learning integrates various subjects seamlessly; providing opportunities for practical application of ELA and Mathematics skills. The NGSS science and engineering practices include language that clearly indicates the integration of Mathematics and ELA. See the list of the science and engineering practices where I have indicated language that connects to the CCSS for Mathematics and ELA. 1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering) 2. Developing and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering) 7. Engaging in argument from evidence 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Guidelines Part 1. Read Read the articles provided related to NGSS and the Common Core Part 2. Overview (1 paragraph) How are ELA and Mathematics Skills integrated into effective science teaching and learning? Provide examples from your paper airplane investigation or from the Module 4 reading materials. Part 3. Application (1 paragraph) What are some strategies for integrating ELA and Mathematics into science teaching and learning? How will the integration of different subjects within a lesson or unit help you and your students?
