My favorite CCC is Structure & Function. Accessible to young learners, like my 2nd graders who created seed dispersal animal & seed models.

A1 I'm thinking I have two faves systems and systems models and structure and function #elngsschat

Hello! I'm Meg from Kansas #elngsschat

cdepatie1 Apr 20 @ 8:13 PM EDT

my favorite CC is cause and effect - it has so many connections to other subjects as well as life in general #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:13 PM EDT

Welcome Christine we are sharing our favorite crosscutting concept #elngsschat

Systems & System Models is another favorite of mine. I love how CCCs give us a common language across LS, ESS, PS, &engineering. #elngsschat

A1: I'm a fan of structure & function as ccc - I like for Ss to see how everything builds together ❤ in science 🔬 #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

I agree I think structure & function is easily accessible,structure function of plants,trees, skeleton,different types buildings #elngsschat

cdepatie1 Apr 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

A1 my second favorite is patterns. As I like to say to my Ss - patterns are everywhere, just keep looking #elngsschat

ArnePlum Apr 20 @ 8:16 PM EDT

Hey Beth, just wanted to let you know that I successfully updated the chat schedule to include tonight's chat. Happy chatting! #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:18 PM EDT

Have you done pattern hunts w/your students? We take pictures inside & out, then share discoveries. Nice tie-in w/math. #elngsschat

https://t.co/W8M3vUDyaV just added tonight's chat. Easy way to follow the conversation. Can pause using slider on right. #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:20 PM EDT

Q2 How do you introduce your students to the crosscutting concepts? #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A2 I begin using the terms with my youngest students in the fall. CCCs are written in language applicable at all grade levels. #elngsschat

ArnePlum Apr 20 @ 8:21 PM EDT

We actually added a new auto-pause function.When you go through the chat history, new messages will be buffered at the bottom :) #elngsschat

frizzlerichard Apr 20 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2: I thought no it's important to teach the ccc early and then use the language often #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 I'm really curious about this one. Do you intro as part of a performance expectation or as a separate concept?#elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A2 Structure & function using examples like chairs, sports balls, boots (ice climbing, firefighter, snow, rain) #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:23 PM EDT

Thank you and we happen every other week #elngsschat

A2 initially we look at them all together and discuss connections Ss might be able to make to each #elngsschat

cdepatie1 Apr 20 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2 - as the year goes on we decide which CCC we are using as we explore and learn #elngsschat

frizzlerichard Apr 20 @ 8:24 PM EDT

A2: define practice of ccc, and then use them and the language often. Model how to find patterns, etc. the language is important #elngsschat

frizzlerichard Apr 20 @ 8:25 PM EDT

Both! #elngsschat

In reply to @KRScienceLady

cdepatie1 Apr 20 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2 - I also like to find ways to link the CCC to other subject areas to make deeper connections and understanding #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A2 I talk about S&F during seed dispersal lessons early in 2nd grade. Video- burrs sticking on a running dog, then show velcro. #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Using the language often is important. You know it's working when Ss begin using the terms during lab group conversations. #elngsschat

frizzlerichard Apr 20 @ 8:24 PM EDT

frizzlerichard Apr 20 @ 8:26 PM EDT

Good point & it gives more opportunities for practice! #elngsschat

I agree the language is important #elngsschat

In reply to @frizzlerichard

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:29 PM EDT

Connections 2 other disciplines is also important.Ss can begin 2 see science is part of world not just something we do N the lab #elngsschat

Q3 How do you explicitly teach the corosscutting concepts in your classroom? #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:30 PM EDT

I like this example. Makes perfect sense for students. #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:32 PM EDT

A3 Stations, each w/different desert plant. Ss recorded observations in sci NB. Discussed common structures & likely functions. #elngsschat

cdepatie1 Apr 20 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 focus on a CCC and provide opportunities to practice them, ie. determining cause and effect using real- world examples #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:33 PM EDT

A3 have U explicitly taught crosscuting concepts part of performance expectations? I wondered abt adding CCC as part driving ? #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:34 PM EDT

A3 Engineering structure & function via PBS interactive https://t.co/X6YYetIpbC followed by paper bridge challenge. #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A3 Some CCCs are easier for Ss to articulate than others. Mine still struggle to explain systems in a logical sequence. #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:35 PM EDT

For example, how does making the device light up and make sound demonstrate transfer of energy? #elngsschat

richbacolor Apr 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Anybody start doing assessment around / including CCCs yet? Just curious. #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT

My 4th graders did a hydroelectric system last year, engineering turbine blades & discussing transfer of energy from Mech->Elec #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:35 PM EDT

For example, how does making the device light up and make sound demonstrate transfer of energy? #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A3 my struggle with the example is I feel like I'm telling the answer .Wonder if careful wording might help #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:38 PM EDT

I use CCC wording in engineering project assessments. Expect Ss to defend design choices based on structure & function. #elngsschat

richbacolor Apr 20 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Anybody start doing assessment around / including CCCs yet? Just curious. #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:39 PM EDT

I would do a performance assessment - challenge lab teams to act out energy transfer. #elngsschat

Q4 What resources have you used to help you and your students better understand crosscutting concepts? #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:42 PM EDT

A4 This year I've used experts more than ever. Ss have Skyped & emailed scientists who naturally bring up CCCs in conversation. #elngsschat

Q5 How can crosscutting concepts make learning more relevant to students? #elngsschat

A5 CCCs help Ss understand why science is life itself - it connects what is around them to the rest of the world #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A5 CCCs carry over into pretty much all learning. I see so many Social Studies connections & of course Math. #elngsschat

BTopink Apr 20 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A5 CCCs provide a common language/scaffold/schema as students grow year to year as scientists. #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Crosscutting concepts helps students connect the the science they are learning to their everyday lives #elngsschat

KRScienceLady - Moderator Apr 20 @ 9:00 PM EDT
