Enderle, Patrick J

If you re looking for labs that cover Earth and space science, appeal to middle and high school students, and use Argument-Driven Inquiry (ADI), your search is over. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Earth and Space Science provides 23 field-tested labs that cover the universe, Earth, and weather. It also helps you make the instructional shift to ADI. This innovative approach to inquiry prompts students to use argument to construct, support, and evaluate scientific claims. The book starts with guidance on how to use ADI. Then it provides labs that cover five disciplinary core ideas in Earth and space science: Earth s place in the universe, the history of Earth, Earth s systems, weather and climate, and Earth and human activity. Your students will explore important content and discover scientific practices. They can investigate everything from how the seasons work to what causes geological formations and even consider where NASA should send a space probe next to look for signs of life. This volume is the latest in NSTA s teacher-friendly ADI series. The authors are veteran teachers who know the importance of connecting all investigations to today s standards and of providing the information and instructional materials you need in one useful resource that combines literacy, math, and science. Use these new investigations to help students develop science proficiency by figuring out how and why things work, not just learning theories and laws.

Argument-Driven Inquiry in Earth and Space Science: Lab Investigations for Grades 6–10

"This book is divided into 5 sections. Section 1 includes two chapters: the first chapter describes the ADI instructional model, and the second chapter describes the development of the ADI lab investigations and provides an overview of what is included with each investigation. Sections 2-4 contain the 17 lab investigations. Each investigation includes three components: Teacher Notes, a Lab Handout, and Checkout Questions. Section 5 consists of five appendixes that include standards alignment matrixes, an overview of the CCs and the NOSK and NOSI concepts that are a focus of the lab investigations, options (in tabular format) for implementing an ADI investigation over multiple 50-minute class periods, options for investigation proposals, which students can use as graphic organizers to plan an investigation, and two versions of a peer-review guide and teacher scoring rubric (one for high school and one for AP)"--

Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 2: Electricity and Magnetism Lab Investigations for Grades 9–12

Hutner, Todd Lewis

Physics teachers great news! Now there s a guide to argument-driven inquiry (ADI) especially for you. Like the NSTA Press best-sellers for high school biology and chemistry, this book helps you build your students science proficiency. It makes labs more authentic by teaching physics students to work the way scientists do by identifying questions, developing models, collecting and analyzing data, generating arguments, and critiquing and revising reports. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 1 focuses on mechanics and has two parts. The first part describes the ADI instructional model and the components of ADI lab investigations. The second part provides 23 field-tested labs covering a wide variety of topics related to forces and interactions, energy, work, and power. Some investigations are introductory labs that expose students to new content; others are application labs to help students try out a theory, law, or unifying concept. All are easy to use, thanks to teacher notes, student handouts, and checkout questions, and all align with the Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core State Standards. You ll find this book to be a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations that will take the intimidation out of using ADI in physics instruction.

Are you interested in using argument-driven inquiry (ADI) for elementary instruction but just aren t sure how to do it? You aren t alone. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Third-Grade Science will provide you with both the information and instructional materials you need to start using this method right away. The book is a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations. It s designed to help your third graders work the way scientists do while integrating literacy and math at the same time. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Third-Grade Science is divided into two basic parts: 1. An introduction to the stages of ADI from question identification, data analysis, and argument development to evaluating and revising ideas. 2. A well-organized series of 14 field-tested investigations designed to be much more authentic for instruction than traditional activities. The investigations cover five disciplinary core ideas: motion and stability, molecules and organisms, heredity, biological evolution, and Earth s systems. Using the Student Workbook, your class will explore important content and discover scientific practices. They can investigate questions such as these: What types of objects are attracted to a magnet? Why do wolves live in groups? And what was the ecosystem like 49 million years ago in Darmstadt, Germany? This book is part of NSTA s best-selling series about ADI in middle school and high school science. Like its predecessors, this collection is designed to be easy to use, with teacher notes, investigation handouts, and checkout questions. The lessons also support the Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics.
