NEXT GENERATION SUNSHINE STATE STANDARDS

EARTH AND SPACE SCIENCE BODY OF KNOWLEDGE
Standard 7: Earth Systems and Patterns
The scientific theory of the evolution of Earth states that changes in our planet are driven by the flow of energy and the cycling of matter through dynamic interactions among the atmosphere, hydrosphere, cryosphere, geosphere, and biosphere, and the resources used to sustain human civilization on Earth.

TOPIC XI
INSTRUCTIONAL TOOLS

Strategies:
CRISS
Incorporate strategies which are most appropriate for your students and learning environment, such as: Concept Mapping, Venn Diagrams, KWL, Think Pair Share, Jigsawing, Word Walls, Two-column Notes, Sticky Notes, Think-Tac-Toe, Cooperative Learning, Exit Cards.

Differentiated Instruction
Implement strategies which are most appropriate for your students and learning environment, such as: Inquiry Based Learning, Performance Based Assessments, Foldable Booklets, Student Portfolios, Concept Bingo

Lab Strategies
Create mixed lab groups based on student performance and other student indicators such as FCAT levels, ELL and SPED.
Assign lab roles to student: Project Director, Materials Manager, Technical Manager, Safety Director.
Follow the district’s guideline for Power Writing in Science.
Assessment:
Authentic (ongoing throughout the year); Students will demonstrate an understanding of climate.
