Daily Do sensemaking tasks are designed to engage
students in authentic, relevant science learning whether at home or in the
classroom. Join us to explore how these phenomenon-driven tasks motivate
students to engage in science and engineering practices to make sense of science
ideas (disciplinary core ideas) they need to explain how or why the phenomenon
occurs. No matter the grade level or science subject you teach, we have Daily Do
sensemaking tasks for you!
TAKEAWAYS:
Understand what sensemaking is and how to create opportunities for sensemaking (recognize sensemaking tasks).
Strategies for ensuring students are part of a rich learning community (science is social)—remote or classroom—and how being part of that community supports sensemaking.
Opportunities for family engagement in sensemaking tasks to build a family-school connection/community that supports all students learning science.
