Description of Activity:   Student Collaboration Employing Strategic and Analytic Reasoning  
Facilitating as the Guide-On-the-Side is essential for STEAM student learning.  Encourage the students to do all the thinking, but we lead the way. The crucial component of student-based learning this way is how to support partner and team collaboration with strategic and analytic prompting or questioning by the teacher.  Use and develop sets of prompts and questions surrounding students’ mastering the concepts of the cause and effects that create the seasons on Earth. More sets of prompts and questions, that can be used with any science concepts or engineering challenges will be shared.  

Defending & Arguing Science/Engineering Concepts from Evidence 
Using student collaboration and Claim-Evidence-Reasoning by metacognating with graphic organizers to support students’ explanations and ideas about what they are learning in science and engineering.  Using Claim-Evidence-Reasoning (C-E-R) concepts and graphic organizers to support students’ explanations and developing ideas is a clear technique to provide student success in meeting this practice.  C-E-R can also be used as lesson summative assessments. 

Audience: K-12 educators, library media specialists, special education educators
