TLDR
This article identified key features of the language of the science classroom as students engage in these language-intensive science and engineering practices and highlighted implications for Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics.Abstract:
The National Research Council (2011) released “A Framework for K–12 Science Education” that is guiding the development of the Next Generation Science Standards, which are expected to be finalized in early 2013. This article addresses language demands and opportunities that are embedded in the science and engineering practices delineated in the Framework. By examining intersections between learning of science and learning of language, the article identifies key features of the language of the science classroom as students engage in these language-intensive science and engineering practices. We propose that when students, especially English language learners, are adequately supported to “do” specific things with language, both science learning and language learning are promoted. We highlight implications for Common Core State Standards for English language arts and mathematics.read more

Mediating hybrid spaces in the bilingual science class by learning to cultivate children's metaphors
TL;DR: This paper analyzed how bilingual children's metaphor initiations were followed up by teacher candidates to create hybrid spaces for learning alongside zones of proximal development, and highlighted the significance of cultivating opportunities for metaphorical associations initiated by bilingual children as opportunities for science teaching and learning.
Elementary Student Engagement with Digital Engineering Notebook Cards (Fundamental)
TL;DR: Wendell as discussed by the authors was a recipient of the U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) in 2016, and her research efforts at the Center for Engineering Education and Outreach focus on supporting discourse and design practices during K-12, teacher education, and college-level engineering learning experiences, and increasing access to engineering in the elementary school experience, especially in under-resourced schools.
