Question 42

How do you relate inertia to real-life situations?

TEACHING STANDARD B:
Teachers of science guide and facilitate learning. In doing this, teachers

• Challenge students to accept and share responsibility for their own learning.
• Recognize and respond to student diversity and encourage all students to participate fully in science learning.

TEACHING STANDARD A:
Teachers of science plan an inquiry-based science program for their students. In doing this, teachers

• Select teaching and assessment strategies that support the development of student understanding and nurture a community of science learners.

TEACHING STANDARD C:
Teachers of science engage in ongoing assessment of their teaching and of student learning. In doing this, teachers

• Use student data, observations of teaching, and interactions with colleagues to reflect on and improve teaching practice.

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

• Create a setting for student work that is flexible and supportive of science inquiry.
• Identify and use resources outside
  the school.

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

• Address issues, events, problems, or topics significant in science and of interest to participants.

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

• Connect and integrate all pertinent aspects of science and science education.
• Address teachers' needs as learners and build on their current knowledge of science content, teaching, and learning.

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 B:
The program of study in science for all students should be developmentally appropriate, interesting, and relevant to students' lives; emphasize student understanding through inquiry; and be connected with other school subjects.

• Science content must be embedded in a variety of curriculum patterns that are developmentally appropriate, interesting, and relevant to students' lives.
