SUMMARY:Deeper Dive into New NYSED Earth and Space Sciences Investigations Session 1 - Unearthing Mars - A Historical Perspective **IN PERSON** Presented by Brian Vorwald - 8:30-2:30pm
DESCRIPTION:Audience: Regents Earth Science teachers and science leaders Session 1 will provide participants the opportunity to explore and complete all facets of the regents ESS investigation Unearthing Mars – A Historical Perspective.” Participants will discover that this investigation is both an assessment and an opportunity for students to learn how in the early 1600’s Johannes Kepler devised a method to determine the location of Mars in its orbit around the Sun using data collected by Tycho Brahe in the late 1500s. They will see that the present day missions to Mars utilize the same principles of gravity and relative motion that were investigated by Brahe and Kepler. Participants will learn how this performance task is a component of a broad NYSED’s System of Assessment.” This and the other two ESS investigations provide authentic\, hands-on scientific and engineering experiences that allow students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills from the Learning Standards. Science teachers and administrators will deepen their knowledge of the New York State Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) with their expectations for three-dimensional student learning and how the investigations will prepare students for the 3-D scientific reasoning they will need to perform on the Earth and Spaces Sciences regents examination. ***Participants must bring paper copies of each ESS Investigation’s documents. These cannot be provided.*** **B.Y.O.D. (Bring Your Own Device) – Participants should bring a fully charged laptop\, iPad\, or tablet to download resources and access websites throughout the workshop. Eligible for 6 hours CTLE credit. Can use 1 Consortium seat. If district pays\, district approval must be confirmed prior to start of session.\nFor full description please view flyer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1m7ujDgjzYppNF-JGK0duvsSr31B54sec/view?usp=sharing\nRegistration: https://www.mylearningplan.com/WebReg/ActivityProfile.asp?D=13208&I=4960727
