Eliciting Students’ Ideas; Academic Language Science talk, Science Vocabulary
NGSS: MS-PS2-1 & MS-PS2-2
Eliciting students’ everyday and academic language to understand how they are initially understanding a science phenomenon. Students use particular vocabulary to communicate their ideas. Teacher chooses to respond by using students’ words, instead of introducing science words, at this point in the unit. Interview with teacher debriefing her decisions included.
