Workshop Goals

• To use astronomy as a means of engaging students in learning physical science and mathematical concepts.– To help students derive and understand

mathematical relationships, when possible– To help students understand the power of prediction

from mathematical models– To help students understand fundamental physical

science principles

Strategy

• Use active engagement techniques (5 E’s)

• Incorporate Cross Cutting Concepts and Standard Mathematical Practices in lesson development

Table 9-2 page 9-16 of FrameworkThe Three Dimensions of the Framework

Table 9-2 page 9-16 of Framework

1. Scientific and Engineering Practices

2. Crosscutting Concepts

Crosscutting Concepts(poster)

1. Patterns

2. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation

3. Scale, proportion, and quantity

4. Systems and system models

5. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation

6. Structure and function

7. Stability and change

Standards for Mathematical Practice(poster)

1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.

4. Model with mathematics.

5. Use appropriate tools strategically.

6. Attend to precision.

7. Look for and make use of structure.

8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
