1 Introduction In 2014, the Shelby County Schools Board of Education adopted a set of ambitious, yet attainable goals for school and student performance. The District is committed to these goals, as further described in our strategic plan, Destination2025. By 2025, 80% of our students will graduate from high school college or career ready 90% of students will graduate on time 100% of our students who graduate college or career ready will enroll in a post-secondary opportunity In order to achieve these ambitious goals, we must collectively work to provide our students with high-quality, College and Career Ready standards-aligned instruction. Acknowledging the need to develop competence in literacy and language as the foundation for all learning, Shelby County Schools developed the Comprehensive Literacy Improvement Plan (CLIP). The CLIP ensures a quality balanced literacy approach to instruction that results in high levels of literacy learning for all students across content areas. Destination 2025 and the CLIP establish common goals and expectations for student learning across schools. CLIP connections are evident throughout the science curriculum maps. The Tennessee State Standards provide a common set of expectations for what students will know and be able to do at the end of a grade. College and Career Ready Standards are rooted in the knowledge and skills students need to succeed in postsecondary study or careers. While the academic standards establish desired learning outcomes, the curriculum provides instructional planning designed to help students reach these outcomes. Educators will use this guide and the standards as a roadmap for curriculum and instruction. The sequence of learning is strategically positioned so that necessary foundational skills are spiraled in order to facilitate student mastery of the standards. Our collective goal is to ensure our students graduate ready for college and career. The standards for science practice describe varieties of expertise that science educators at all levels should seek to develop in their students. These practices rest on important processes and proficiencies with longstanding importance in science education. The Science Framework emphasizes process standards of which include planning investigations, using models, asking questions and communicating information. Page 1 of 13
2 Construct explanations and design solution Ask questions and de;ine problems Develop and use models Patterns Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information Practices in Science Plan and carry out investigations Stability and change Cross Cutting Concepts Cause and Effect Engage in argument Use math, technology, and computational thinking Analyze and interpret data Energy and matter Systems and system models Crosscutting concepts have value because they provide students with connections and intellectual tools that are related across the differing areas of disciplinary content and can enrich their application of practices and their understanding of core ideas. Throughout the year, students should continue to develop proficiency with the eight science practices. Crosscutting concepts can help students better understand core ideas in science and engineering. When students encounter new phenomena, whether in a science lab, field trip, or on their own, they need mental tools to help engage in and come to understand the phenomena from a scientific point of view. Familiarity with crosscutting concepts can provide that perspective. A next step might be to simplify the phenomenon by thinking of it as a system and modeling its components and how they interact. In some cases it would be useful to study how energy and matter flow through the system, or to study how structure affects function (or malfunction). These preliminary studies may suggest explanations for the phenomena, which could be checked by predicting patterns that might emerge if the explanation is correct, and matching those predictions with those observed in the real world.

3 Science Curriculum Maps This curriculum map is designed to help teachers make effective decisions about what science content to teach so that, our students will reach Destination To reach our collective student achievement goals, we know that teachers must change their instructional practice in alignment with the three College and Career Ready shifts in instruction for science. To ensure that all student will be taught science content and processes in a comprehensive, consistent, and coherent manner, Science Curriculum Maps are provided. Foundation texts for the maps include Shelby County Schools Framework for Standards Based Curriculum, Science Curriculum Frameworks-K-12 (State of Tennessee Board of Education, and National Science Education Standards). Teachers function most effectively and students learn best within an aligned curriculum delivery system. An aligned system begins with a concerted effort to implement the state curriculum frameworks. Many districts have developed curriculum guides built around these frameworks to ensure that what is taught in particular grades and courses is closely linked with student Learning Expectations found in the state standards. Classroom teachers use these locally-generated curriculum guides to plan and implement their individual grade or course Pacing Guides. Expectations for student performance are clear and carefully tied to daily instructional events and classroom assessment practices. In theory, a fully aligned system closes the loop between state standards and student learning. Additionally, a coherent instructional/assessment system offers the potential for heightening student learning as reflected by their performance on state-mandated standardized tests. Our collective goal is to ensure our students graduate ready for college and career. Most of the elements found in the state Curriculum Frameworks were incorporated into the curriculum mapping materials prepared by Shelby County Schools. Additional features were included to add clarity and to offer avenues that could assist teacher in developing grade level lessons. A district-wide, K-12, standards-based curriculum is implemented in science. This curriculum is articulated in the form of individual SCS curriculum maps for each grade and subject. These SCS curriculum maps enable the district to implement a single curriculum that emphasizes specific standards. Since Shelby County has a high rate of mobility among the student population, the SCS curriculum maps ensure that all students receive the same program of high-level instructional content and academic expectations, regardless of which school they attend. The utilization of a district-wide standards-based curricular program ensures that students in SCS are engaged in hands-on inquiry based activities as teachers implement the curriculum maps.

Great website to extend academic language, discussion, and written argumentation skills. This supplement is fully aligned with science specific literacy standards. The scientific method can be stated several ways, but basically it involves looking at the world around you, coming up with an explanation for what you observe, testing your explanation to see if it could be valid, and then either accepting your explanation (for the time being... after all, something better might come along!) or rejecting the explanation and trying to come up with a better one. Students use a game to learn the scientific method and to start identifying sources of error in the activity at the following website: Students will be able to use the scientific method to solve problems and collect data-based observations. This quiz assesses students knowledge of the scientific method, controlled experiments and associated variables, how to analyze data and graphs, forming a conclusion, scientific equipment and procedures, what are models, and to identify and eliminate experimental errors. A website that tries to convince people that there are tree octopi. A great website to teach a lesson on how to evaluate what students read, research multiple sources when gathering data, and that when an observation does not agree with an accepted scientific theory, the observation is sometimes fraudulent. Use of the computer lab or classroom computers with Internet access is needed for students to read all about the tree octopus.
