Question 38

In what way, if any, do you explicitly address the non-physics definition of inertia and other physics terms?

TEACHING STANDARD D:
Teachers of science design and manage learning environments that provide students with the time, space, and resources needed for learning science. In doing this, teachers

• Structure the time available so that students are able to engage in extended investigations.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARD A:
Professional development for teachers of science requires learning essential science content through the perspectives and methods of inquiry. Science learning experiences for teachers must

• Build on the teacher's current science understanding, ability, and attitudes.
• Encourage and support teachers in efforts to collaborate

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARD B:
Professional development for teachers of science requires integrating knowledge of science, learning, pedagogy, and students; it also requires applying that knowledge to science teaching. Learning experiences for teachers of science must

• Use inquiry, reflection, interpretation of research, modeling, and guided practice to build understanding and skill in science teaching.

ASSESSMENT STANDARD C:
The technical quality of the data collected is well matched to the decisions and actions taken on the basis of their interpretation.

• The feature that is claimed to be measured is actually measured.

CONTENT STANDARD B: As a result of their activities in grades 9-12, all students should develop an understanding of

• Motions and forces

PROGRAM STANDARD A:
All elements of the K-12 science program must be consistent with the other National Science Education Standards and with one another and developed within and across grade levels to meet a clearly stated set of goals.

• Assessment policies and practices should be aligned with the goals, student expectations, and curriculum frameworks.
