concrete• Engage students• Open ended• Higher order
thinking skills• Directly connected
to: Content Problem Project
Guiding• Student or teacher
created• Focused research• Numerous• Somewhat open
ended• May be inferential• Basic content

Turn and Talk:
Think about the standards you are currently using, what overarching concepts and essential questions can you envision?
![Page 6: Putting the Passion in PBL: October 2013 Illinois Science Conference](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070312/55386a714a79599a678b472b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Second Grade: Structure and Properties of Matter
Concept: Change
Essential Question: How does matter change?
Based on these big ideas what would you use as driving and guiding questions in this unit?

• Explicit content knowledge
• Skills to be assessed
Building Background Knowledge-For example “Life Cycles”SIOP Strategy for Background Knowledge
Teaching

RESEARCH
• Web-based research. Use text and web resources responsibly
• Collaborative- teams of students with similar questions can work together to gather information and data
• Use community members and other experts-have a bank of experts on hand for the school or classroom that can be used throughout the year for different projects
Community Fair Clip• Surveys and interviews-students gain knowledge about
the topic by creating surveys and interview questions

First Graders learned about the life cycle of a plant by exploring and observing seeds, growing their own plants,
and studying the plant environment in Ben Franklin’s Courtyard.
