Seeing Science Structures
Seeing Science Structures includes: Vocabulary Cards and Pocket Chart, Topic Cards with Pocket, Activity Key Poster, Core Vocabulary Poster, Table of Contents Guide, and CD ( 36 Printable Think Sheets, 36 Printable Concept Builders (to guide note taking), Core Vocabulary Recording Sheets, Visual Program Overview (Tutorial Video), Printable Manual, Answer Keys, and Correlations to the TEKS and NSES)Often with a great hands-on science program, vocabulary takes a back seat to general concept-building. When this happens, your students understand the various science concepts but don’t test well. We have found that students may “get” the concepts, but don’t have a solid grasp of the specific vocabulary needed to communicate understanding of these concepts. We created Seeing Science Structures™ as a supplement to bridge this gap from hands-on to testing. Seeing Science Structures™ was intentionally arranged into specific topics which are tightly-focused in scope but flexible in sequence. Units are not rigidly organized into “days” or “weeks,” and they don’t follow a prescribed order. Use them in the order that makes sense for your curriculum, and spend as much, or little, time as you need! Each unit has a carefully selected and structured vocabulary and note-taking sheet. Even hesitant or new science teachers can feel confident as they easily guide their students through the complexities of their science content. After guided note-taking, students then move to an independent (or group) Think Sheet where they apply their newly-attained knowledge. Students use this combination of vocabulary and activities to complete their Concept Builder (teacher -guided concept understanding) and Think Sheets (student application). Seeing Science Structures™ is based on the goals and standards of the National Academy of Sciences and is aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), so it offers a rigorous, inquiry-based approach to science review for any classroom.
