What does effective science
instruction look like?
• Engage
– Question, discussion, activity, uncover ideas (Discovery and PBS
Learning)
• Explore
– Lab activities (Essential Lab/hands-on investigations, Gizmos)
• Explain
– Conclusion writing/lab report, C-E-R, discussion,
Notebooks/Journals
• Elaborate
– Discussion, real-world connections
• Evaluate: formative and summative by benchmark

• As a class make groups of the astronomical bodies.
• Write the characteristics that each member of the
group has in common.

Conclusion Writing
Claim-Evidence-Reasoning
• Students should support their own written claims with appropriate
justification.
• Science education should help prepare students for this complex inquiry
practice where students seek and provide evidence and reasons for ideas
or claims (Driver, Newton and Osborne, 2000).

Curriculum
LACC.68.RST.1.3:
Follow precisely a multistep procedure when carrying out experiments, taking
measurements, or performing technical tasks.
LACC.68.RST.2.4:
Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words
and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to
grades 6–8 texts and topics.
LACC.68.RST.3.7:
Integrate quantitative or technical information expressed in words in a text with a
version of that information expressed visually (e.g., in a flowchart, diagram, model,
graph, or table).

Vocabulary Instruction
•Direct students to locate words introduced in
the text by paragraph number.
•Model for students how to derive word
meaning(s) from word parts (prefix, root, suffix)
and/or context.
•Record meanings of word parts and words on
word wall, journal, etc.

Directed Note-Taking
Present a guiding question to direct student thinking while taking notes. Teacher models
note-taking with some examples from the text, and selects the category or categories that
the statement supports. Students complete note-taking collaboratively or independently.
Guiding Question: Using evidence from the text and video clip, how are
these newly discovered exoplanets similar and different to the planets in
our Solar system?
Paragraph #/
Source
Note
2
These planets are unusual because
they orbit, or move around their
stars, backward.

Scientists believe that all the
planets in the solar system were
formed from the same giant disk of
debris-mainly gas and dust

Astronomers found six planets
moving around their host star in
the opposite direction.

Final Response After Rereading and
Extended Text Discussion
• Purpose: To provide opportunities for students to interact
with the text and with their peers to:
– identify text information most significant to the final/essential
question.
– facilitate complex thinking and deep comprehension of text.
After the final discussion, answer the following question on your
handout:
According to the text and extended text discussion, which factors
affect the type of planets in the different solar systems and how
they behave?
How does scientific research impact society?
