IMSS Focus Areas to Strengthen Science
Teaching and Learning
• Science pedagogy and content knowledge
• Integrating science inquiry practices and core
content knowledge
• Integrating the Common Core and Next
Generation Science Standards
Three Key Elements
1. IMSS Teacher Leadership
Leadership opportunities and support

Guiding Assumption of Framework:
Both Content Knowledge and
Scientific Practices
“Science is not just a body of knowledge
that reflects current understanding of the
world; it is also a set of practices used to
establish,
extend
and
refine
that
knowledge. Both elements– knowledge and
practice--- are essential.”

Definition of Inquiry
By National Science Education Standards
Scientific inquiry refers to the diverse
ways in which scientists study the
natural world and propose explanations
based on the evidence derived from
their work.

2) Salad Dressing Assessment
A teacher is holding a bottle of salad dressing in front of the students. The students
can clearly see two layers in the salad dressing, with the oil floating on top of the
vinegar. The teacher gently inverts the bottle 2 1/2 times, ending with the top of
the bottle pointing down. What will happen to the layers?
A-the oil will always be on the top.
B- the oil will be on the bottom because the container is upside down
C- it is random, sometimes the oil will be on the top and sometimes it will be on the
bottom.
Which of the above explanations are true?
Explain your reasoning... Why did you chose the one you did?

10) Double Alcohol Assessment
A teacher holds a container with 4 liquids layered (like our lab).
The liquid on the top layer is red. If you doubled the amount
of the red layer, how will this affect the layers?
Anne says, “The red layer will sink to the bottom.”
Bill says, “The red layer will sink under the yellow layer.”
Cathy says, “The red layer will sink under the Blue layer.”
Daniel says, “The layers will not change.”
Who do you agree with with?______________
Why?
10) Double Alcohol Answers:
1. Anne because there to much pressure to it’ll take the red to the bottom
(sink)
2. The red layer will sink and mix with blue because the gravity is pulling
the heavier weight down. Which is called density of matter. So I believe
what Bill says.
3. I agree with Cathy. I feel like the red will sink in
with the blue and they will mix and make purple
just like it did in our lab. The double
of the red density will make it have a heavier volume
and that’s why the red will go to the blue.
4. I think if you double the amount of the red liquid
then it wouldn’t change it would just stay at
the top.

Where does this fit in to the Next Generation Science
Standards?
MS.PS-SPM.b. Structure and Properties of Matter
Students who demonstrate understanding can:
Plan an investigation to generate evidence supporting the claim that
one pure substance can be distinguished from another based on
characteristic properties.
The performance expectation above was developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices
Disciplinary Core Ideas
Crosscutting Concepts
Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter
Structure and Function
Planning and carrying out investigations to
answer questions or test solutions to problems
in 6–8 builds on K–5 experiences and progresses
to include investigations that use multiple
variables and provide evidence to support
explanations or design solutions.
Plan and carry out investigations
individually and collaboratively,
identifying independent and dependent
variables, and controls. (b)
Collect data and generate evidence to
answer scientific questions or test design
solutions under a range of conditions.

•
Pure substances are made from a single
type of atom or molecule; each pure
substance has characteristic physical and
chemical properties (for any bulk
quantity under given conditions) that can
be used to identify it.
Complex and microscopic structures and
systems can be visualized, modeled, and used to
describe how their function depends on the
shapes, composition, and relationships among
its parts, therefore complex natural and
designed structures/systems can be analyzed to
determine how they function. Structures can be
designed to serve particular functions by taking
into account properties of different materials,
and how materials can be shaped and used.
