Question 46

What classroom activities do you provide your students in order to facilitate the integration of their qualitative knowledge and quantitative knowledge in inertia

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

• Focus and support inquiries while interacting with students.
• 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 multiple methods and systematically gather data about student understanding and ability.
• Guide students in self-assessment.
• Use student data, observations of teaching, and interactions with colleagues to reflect on and improve teaching practice.

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.
• Incorporate ongoing reflection on the process and outcomes of understanding science through inquiry.

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

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT STANDARD C:
Professional development for teachers of science requires building understanding and ability for lifelong learning. Professional development activities must

• Provide opportunities for teachers to receive feedback about their teaching and to understand, analyze, and apply that feedback to improve their practice.
• Provide opportunities for teachers to learn and use various tools and techniques for self-reflection.

ASSESSMENT STANDARD A:
Assessments must be consistent with the decisions they are designed to inform.

• Assessments are deliberately designed.

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.

• In an effective science program, a set of clear goals and expectations for students must be used to guide the design, implementation, and assessment of all elements of the science program.

Curriculum frameworks should be used to guide the selection and development of units and courses of study.
