Session Outcomes
Participants will be able to:
• Incorporate M-DCPS instructional resources to support
science teaching and learning (including Engineering
practices)
• Effectively plan for science instruction by unwrapping
benchmarks
• Identify how M-DCPS integrates Mathematics and Language
Arts Florida Standards for effective science teaching and
learning
• Plan for Inquiry in science
Department of Science
Introductions
o Introduce yourself
o School
o How many years teaching
o share something you want to accomplish in the upcoming
school year

2015 Physics
Back to the Future Protocol:
1. Where is your Physics program right now?
2. How do you envision your ideal future Physics
program?
3. How are you going to get your current program to
your ideal future vision?

The Engineering Design Process:
EDP Card Game
– Using the package of cards given to you, have one team
member shuffle and deal the cards.
– One designated player will begin by placing one of the
cards on the table. Look at your cards and choose the one
that comes first.
– Each of the next players will do the same, but will begin to
organize the cards in the order that the team decides the
design process should follow.
– Discuss with your team and defend your Claim with
Evidence for the card’s EDP position on the table.
– Be creative and do not think only of a linear process.

Unwrapping a Benchmark for
Forces Lab
SC.912.P.10.1 – Differentiate among the various forms
of energy and recognize that they can be transformed
from one form to others.
Let’s Complete the Unwrapping a Benchmark sheet for
this benchmark.
Department of Science
Forces Lab
• Objective:
– Determining the spring constant
• How are the various springs different.
• How could you scientifically differentiate between
them.
• Which spring might be harder to pull? Why?
• Argument Driven Inquiry Round Robin and
Presentation Format
Department of Science
Forces Lab – Debrief
• Review CER’s
• Did the Lab address everything in the benchmark
description?
• Where other benchmark descriptions addressed in
this activity?
• If everything from the benchmark description was
not addressed, how can we modify the activity to
address all (or more) of the content or include other
benchmark/standards (LAFS/MAFS)?

Department of Science
Hooke’s Law Lab
• Objective:
– Observe and explore conservation of energy
• How could you use the apparatus to demonstrate the
principle of conservation of energy?
• What type of data would you have to collect?
