3D Instruction | Snack
This unit is part of Dig Into Science learning modules, part of the ACESSE project. Dig into Science is designed to introduce teachers, paraprofessionals, principals, or anyone else to current science education, often called “three dimensional” science education.
Snack (5-10 minute learning experience)
Goal: Understand the basics of the three dimensions and explore the shift to 3D science teaching and learning.
“The framework is designed to help realize a vision for education in sciences and engineering in which students, over multiple years of school, actively engage in scientific and engineering practices and apply crosscutting concepts to deepen their understanding of the core ideas in these fields. (Framework pg 10)
Use the interactive below to explore the 3 Dimensions:
Reflection:
What science and engineering practices and/or cross cutting concepts are you already using in your classroom? Where do you have room to grow or go deeper?
Read the following article: Dimensional Instruction: Using a new type of teaching in the science classroom (Krajcik)
This bookmark can be printed as a quick reminder of the 3 Dimensions: A bookmark of the SEPs, DCIs and CCCs
Reflection:
Explain in your own words, what is meant by 3D instruction?
