The reproducible student pages in Argument-Driven Inquiry in Fifth-Grade Science have been extracted for your convenience and re-packaged as a classroom-ready tool for students-Student Workbook for Argument-Driven Inquiry in Fifth-Grade Science. Use it to help your elementary students learn the practices of science, including constructing explanations and engaging in argument from evidence. The workbook is divided into two basic parts: 1. An overview of how students will actively and safely engage in three-dimensional learning-including an introduction to the practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas; a list of safety rules; and a safety acknowledgment form. 2. A well-organized series of 16 field-tested investigations designed to be much more authentic for instruction than traditional activities. The focus is on making sense of how the world works. Investigations cover matter and its interactions; motion and stability; ecosystems and their interactions, energy, and dynamics; Earth's place in the universe; and Earth's systems. Students will investigate questions such as: What happens to a substance's weight when transforming from a solid to a liquid? Where does the matter that plants need to grow come from? Why do days change length in different locations on Earth? And why do people use hot water instead of cold when making tea? For instructional support, you can consult the teacher book (ADI in Fifth-Grade Science), which includes an introduction to ADI, detailed teacher notes for each investigation, peer-review guides, teacher scoring rubrics, and more! About the Teacher Book ADI in Fifth-Grade Science is part of NSTA's bestselling series about ADI in elementary, middle, 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 support the Next Generation Science Standards and the Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics. The book can also help emerging bilingual students meet the English Language Proficiency Standards with its tips for teaching English language learners.

Are you interested in helping your elementary students learn the practices of science, including constructing explanations and engaging in argument from evidence? Argument-Driven Inquiry in Fifth-Grade Science will provide you with both the information and instructional materials you need to get started right away. The book is a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations. It's designed to help your fifth graders work the way scientists do while integrating literacy and math at the same time. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Fifth-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 16 field-tested investigations designed to be much more authentic for instruction than traditional activities. The focus is on making sense of how the world works. Investigations cover matter and its interactions; motion and stability; ecosystems and their interactions, energy, and dynamics; Earth's place in the universe; and Earth's systems. Using the Student Workbook, your students will explore important content and discover scientific practices.

Many of today's elementary school teachers-like you-want new ways to engage students in scientific practices and help students learn more from classroom activities. Argument-Driven Inquiry in Fifth-Grade Science does all of this while giving students the chance to practice reading, writing, speaking, and using mathematics in the context of science.

Are you interested in a three-dimensional approach to helping your high school physics students learn the practices of science, including constructing explanations and engaging in argument from evidence? By using argument-driven inquiry (ADI) for high school physics lab instruction, you can do just that. Student Lab Manual for Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 2 provides the lab safety information and student materials you need to guide your students through the investigations in the teacher book, Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 2. The manual contains a well-organized series of 17 field-tested labs that are designed to be much more authentic for instruction than traditional laboratory activities. The labs cover a variety of topics, including electrostatics; electric current, capacitors, resistors, and circuits; and magnetic fields and electromagnetism. Introduction labs acquaint students with new content. Application labs encourage deeper exploration of the use of a theory, law, or unifying concept. ADI in Physics, Volume 2 is a follow-up to ADI in Physics, Volume 1: Mechanics Lab Investigations for Grades 9–12. Both are part of the NSTA Press series for ADI in biology, chemistry, Earth and space science, life science, and physical science. The labs also support three-dimensional instruction, helping students learn the science practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas found in the Next Generation Science Standards. The labs also support student learning of standards in both algebra- and calculus-based AP Physics courses. In addition, they offer ways for students to develop the disciplinary skills outlined in the Common Core State Standards. Many of today’s high school teachers—like you—are seeking new ways to engage students in science practices and help students learn more from lab activities. ADI in Physics, Volume 2 and its companion lab manual do all of this while also giving your students the chance to practice reading, writing, speaking, and using math in the context of science.

Are you interested in using argument-driven inquiry for high school lab instruction but just aren't sure how to do it? Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 1 is a one-stop source of expertise, advice, and investigations to help physics students work the way scientists do. The book includes a well-organized series of 23 field-tested labs that cover a variety of topics related to mechanics, including forces and interactions, energy, work, and power. You can use the introduction labs to acquaint students with new content or the application labs for deeper exploration of the use of a theory, law, or unifying concept. The labs will also help your students learn the science practices, crosscutting concepts, and core ideas found in the Next Generation Science Standards and develop the disciplinary skills outlined in the Common Core State Standards. Student Lab Manual for Argument-Driven Inquiry in Physics, Volume 1 provides the student materials you need to guide your students through these investigations. With lab details, safety information, and handouts, your students will be ready to start investigating.

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.
