SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB) March 06, 2014
School Improvement Network, the leader in educator effectiveness resources, today announced a new video segment showing a science lesson aligned to Common Core ELA Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards for teaching Thermodynamics. The video segment is available to all educators as part of the weekly publication, “Strategy of the Week.”
“The Common Core ELA and Math Standards and the Next Generation Science Standards represent efforts to raise the quality and rigor of the education system and help students master the skills they need to be successful in college or a career when they graduate from high school,” said Chet D. Linton, CEO and president of School Improvement Network. “Lessons like these show educators how these standards can be effectively implemented into any local school or districts’ curriculum to impact every student and raise educational quality across the board.”
In this video, educators will see a Common Core ELA and Next Generation Science Standards lesson that includes:
- Students working in pairs, moving from station to station
- Engaging in think-pair-share strategy, writing results in their notebooks
- Precisely following a complex multi-step procedure while carrying out experiments
- Conducting an investigation to provide evidence about the transfer of thermal energy within a closed system
- Synthesizing information from a range of sources into a coherent understanding of a concept
The Common Core ELA and Next Generation Science Standards lesson aligns to the following standards:
- Common Core State Standards: ELA Standards RST.11-12.3 & 9
- Next Generation Science Standards: Physical Science Standards HS-PS3-4
