My Goals for You
See how the Learning Cycle E model is woven into
FOSS lessons/investigations
Understand how literacy strategies support FOSS
investigations
Strategies for observing and evaluating science
lessons in the elementary classroom
Thought Swap
Why integrate science and literacy in
your classroom?
Why integrate science and literacy?
Reading and writing best reside in a content area
Reading and writing are authentic to inquiry
science
Congested curriculum: finding time in the day for
science
Evidence of mutual benefit
Proven benefits for English as A Second Language

Kit Inventory
Interactive Word Wall
Kit Inventory Basics
From Dr. Olga Amaral
Unpack the kit (literally), identify an object
Place a word card on the wall for the object
Add the kit object in a Ziploc baggie next to the word
card
Do this for each item in the kit
Take the object down when you need it
More How To’s
Predicting
Pull out one item at a time. Students
predict how the item might be used.
Classifying
Items are distributed.
Items are grouped by students into
categories.
Usage
Properties
Kit Inventory Process Questions
The teacher asks the following questions:
What is it?
Teacher or student look at an object from the
kit.
What is it used for?
Where have you seen this before?
Why is it in our science kit?
What does it feel, look, smell like?
Your Interactive Science Word Wall
Select words from each module that address the
big ideas.
Use the word bank to guide you.
Discuss the words with your students.
Write the words on tag board, strips of paper large
enough to see from the other side of the room.
Display on the word wall.
Add picture or object in baggie next to word.

Use labels or strips of paper for words.
Find pictures or draw pictures that show the
meaning of the term.
Explore
Provide hands-on, concrete
experiences to formally construct a
concept, process or skill
Formulate a hypothesis, make a
prediction
Test hypothesis and gather data

Content/Inquiry
•Magnets stick to iron
•Two magnets can
attract and repel.
•A force is a push or a
pull.
During a FOSS Investigation
What was the role of the student?
What was the role of the teacher?
How did the teacher interact with the
students?
What was the source of the
information the students were
learning?
What thought processes/scientific
problem solving skills were the
students using?
Essential Features of Inquiry:
Learning Cycle E’s
Engage - Pique students’ curiosity, determines students’ prior
knowledge, invites students to express what they think and ask
questions.
Explore - Student or teacher designed experiences that enable
student to test questions and ides related to BIG IDEAS,
encourages student-to-student interactions.
Explain – Direct teaching of concepts through discussion, and
vocabulary lessons. Students read for information. Students
use common experiences and data to develop explanations.
Students express their learning in a variety of ways.
Extend/Elaborate - Students establish connections between new
and former experiences. Further experiments to support
learning may be provided.
Evaluate- Students apply what they have learned in new situations,
Investigation 1, Part 1
Engagement: Describe the Object Game
Explore: Things That Stick
Explore: Test Objects

Investigating More Magnetic
Properties
How do magnets interact with other
objects?
Does an iron object have to touch a
magnet to become a temporary
magnet?
Does magnetic force go through all
materials?
Investigation 2: Making
Connections
• Students find ways to
make simple circuits
Investigation 3:
•Students build series and
parallel circuits
Investigation 4: Current
Attractions
Building an electromagnet
Investigation 5: Click It
Building the Telegraph
Break
•Register for prizes
•Look at books
•Ask Questions

Focus question: What kind of materials
do magnets stick to?
Formulate a Hypothesis: Example: If
all metal objects stick to a magnet, then we
can sort the objects into two groups,
metal/non-metal, and all objects in the
metal group should stick to the magnet.
Predict and gather data
