Question 61

How do you use with other properties of matter, such as mass or weight to help students understand the concept of inertia?

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.

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.
• Make the available science tools, materials, media, and technological resources accessible to students.

TEACHING STANDARD F:
Teachers of science actively participate in the ongoing planning and development of the school science program. In doing this, teachers

• Plan and develop the school science program.

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.
• Occur in a variety of places where effective science teaching can be illustrated and modeled, permitting teachers to struggle with real situations and expand their knowledge and skills in appropriate contexts.
• Use inquiry, reflection, interpretation of research, modeling, and guided practice to build understanding and skill in science teaching.

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

• Involve teachers in actively investigating phenomena that can be studied scientifically, interpreting results, and making sense of findings consistent with currently accepted scientific understanding.
• Address issues, events, problems, or topics significant in science and of interest to participants.

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.

The program of study must emphasize student understanding through inquiry.
