ACCESSING THE MPS SCIENCE DEPARTMENT WEBSITE: MPS WEBSITE – DEPARTMENTS –
CURRICULUM – SCIENCE
• THERE ARE 3 WAYS TO ACCESS YOUR CORE LABS
• MPS SCIENCE WEBSITE: CORE LABS – ENVIRONMENTAL
• MPS SCIENCE WEBSITE: CURRICULUM PACING GUIDES – ENVIRONMENTAL
• GOOGLE DRIVE: ENVIRONMENTAL – CORE LABS
CORE LAB: PURPOSE
THE CORE LAB PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE ALL STUDENTS WITH
SIMILAR GRADE LEVEL LABORATORY EXPERIENCES.
CORE LABS IN NO WAY REPRESENT A COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF LABS, BUT RATHER THE MINIMUM
REQUIRED LABORATORY ACTIVITIES SPECIFIC TO EACH GRADE LEVEL.
THESE LABS WERE DEVELOPED OR SUGGESTED BY COMMITTEES COMPRISING OF DISTRICT
SCIENCE TEACHERS AND FOLLOW BOTH STATE STANDARDS AND DISTRICT CURRICULUM.
ARE WE SPEAKING THE SAME LANGUAGE?
• CORE LAB PURCHASES:
• CONSUMABLES ARE TO ONLY BE USED FOR CORE LABS
• AVERAGING WILL BE USED AT THE END OF EACH YEAR TO DECIDE IF THE ITEM WAS MISUSED
• DISTRICTS IDEA OF CONSUMABLE VS. NON-CONSUMABLE:
• WASHABLES: PIPETTES, CUPS, SPOONS, KNIVES
•
SOME SITES HAVE CONSIDERED THESE DISPOSABLE IN THE PAST
•
THEY ARE ONLY DISPOSABLE IF THEY WERE USED WITH A HARMFUL OR CORROSIVE CHEMICAL
•
EXAMPLES OF HARMFUL OR CORROSIVE: IODINE, AMMONIA, PHENOLPHTHALEIN, ETC.…
•
EXAMPLES OF NON-HARMFUL OR NON-CORROSIVE: COOKING OIL, VINEGAR, FOOD COLORING, ETC.…
• BUDGET VS. WAREHOUSE:
• MANY OF THE ITEMS IN THE CORE LAB WERE OBTAINED THROUGH FREE ITEMS FROM THE K-5 ELEMENTARY SCIENCE ADOPTION
KITS.
• MONEY USED TO PURCHASE ALL THE START UP WILL NOT EXIST IN FUTURE YEARS (I.E. BUDGET CRISIS)
• START LOOKING AT GRANTS, ETC.… TO OBTAIN EQUIPMENT PURCHASES. THE DISTRICT CAN’T PAY FOR THESE CURRENTLY.
INVENTORY?
YOU ACTUALLY EXPECT ME TO LOOK AT THAT!
• MASTER LIST: DISTRICT ONLY CHANGES
• SITE PAGE: DISTRICT, SITE SPECIFIC DEPARTMENT CHAIR & TEACHERS ONLY CHANGES
• LOCKED COLUMNS: FOR YOUR PROTECTION AND MY SANITY
• COLUMNS: A-H, K-T
• HIDDEN ROWS: LABS WITH VERSIONS – I HAVE HIDDEN THE CELLS FOR THE LABS NOT CHOSEN BY YOUR SITE
• NEEDED PER SITE VS. # OF SECTIONS: SOME ITEMS WERE TO EXPENSIVE TO OBTAIN THE LARGE QUANTITY
REQUIRED FOR INDIVIDUAL TEACHERS. THIS REQUIRES SHARING WITHIN THE BUILDING
• SITE ITEMS: SOME ITEMS THAT ARE SITE ITEMS WILL NEED TO BE ADDED TO YOUR SCHOOL SUPPLY LIST FOR
STUDENTS TO PURCHASE (COLORED PENCILS)
MISSING OR REPLACEMENT ITEMS
• REPLACEMENT ITEMS (BEAKER VS. CUP)
• SOME ITEMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH COMPARABLE ITEMS.
• FOR EXAMPLE: A LAB REQUIRING A 500ML BEAKER. THE BEAKER IS ONLY BEING USED TO FILTER
WATER SO THE STUDENT CAN SEE WHAT THE FILTER CATCHES. 16OZ CLEAR PLASTIC CUPS
ACCOMPLISH THE SAME THING.
• MISSING ITEMS WILL BE BROUGHT TO THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR MEETING ON MAY 18TH
• ENVIRONMENTAL MISSING ITEMS: PH PAPER, SHS-BEAKERS/CYLINDERS
