DLESE TEACHING BOXES: Earth System Science Resources and Strategies for the Classroom
Shelley E. Olds, DLESE Program Center
Judy Scotchmoor, UC Museum of Paleontology
Phase 1 – 2004
The Players:DLESE Program Center, UCARUniversity of California Museum of PaleontologyUniversity of ColoradoSan Francisco State UniversityUS Geological Survey, Menlo ParkSan Francisco Unified School DistrictNational Center for Atmospheric Research
The Products:Evidence for Plate TectonicsEssentials of Weather
What makes DLESE Teaching Boxes so cool?
1. How they are built… teachers working with scientists.
Development uses a team approach, therefore the product is sound in both science content and pedagogy – a quality guarantee.
Teamwork
What makes DLESE Teaching Boxes so cool?
1. How they are built…
2. A conceptual framework…
Each box is developed around a set of interconnected concepts that incorporates national and state science standards.

What makes DLESE Teaching Boxes so cool?
A Professional Development Opportunity
Teachers gain: increased understanding of science content experience with inquiry-based learning the opportunity to design, develop and share conceptual frameworks, lesson plans and other teaching resources university credit to satisfy NCLB requirements
Phase 2 – 2005
The Players:DLESE Program Center, UCARUniversity of California Museum of PaleontologyUniversity of ColoradoUS Geological Survey, Menlo ParkTeachers from the San Francisco Bay Area
The Products:Global Ups and Downs: Changing sea levelsLiving in Earthquake CountryA Feeding Frenzy: Seasonal upwellingMaking Mountains

What do DLESE Teaching Boxes look like?
A topic with an earth system focus: e.g. upwelling
Incorporate national and state science, math, and language arts standards within a conceptual framework
Provide flexibility with interconnected lessons for 3-6 weeks of inquiry-based instruction
A culminating activity to assess student learning
A quality guarantee
The current project is a collaborative effort of teachers, scientists, educators, and designers at the DLESE Program Center, the University of Colorado, Boulder, University of California Museum of Paleontology, U.S. Geological Survey, and several San Francisco Bay Area schools with funding from the National Science Foundation.
