SEPUP Issues in science

SEPUP is unique among the research-based science programs as the
only one that centralizes each unit on a socio-science issue.
All of the curriculum materials put standard’s based science content
in the context of personal and societal issues. The issues create the storyline so that the Big
Ideas, the daily activities, and the science content are relevant and meaningful.

Unit Issue
the storyline
Phenomena
Big Idea

Related Science Benchmarks
Literacy & Math Benchmarks
Science Skills and Practices

Each unit follows this instructional design to integrate scientific inquiry
with a thematic approach for teaching science in the context of personal
and societaly issues.

Lab-Aids® 17 Colt Court, Ronkonkoma, NY 11779

In this investigation
students are gathering

data around erosion and
deposition in order to

decide where to put a new

housing development in the
fictional city of Boomtown.
Students create arguments
from evidence they collect

to guide their decisions.

issues and earth science second edition

How do Earth features influence where people live?
What policies should guide our use of Earth’s resources?
What kind of space exploration should we undertake in
the future? Students collect evidence, make
recommendations, and identify the trade-offs of
their decisions behind the issues and phenomena in
Issues and Earth Science.

Issues and Earth Science may be purchased as a full-
year, discipline-based program in one hard bound
book or as individual units to create a customized

issues and physical science second edition

All students need to develop an understanding of science
and technology to make informed personal and community
decisions. Using Issues and Physical Science, students
learn how to gather and interpret scientific evidence about
issues of interest to them and their community. As a
result, they begin to appreciate the power and also some
of the limitations of science. They also begin to recognize
that science is much more than a set of answers to be
learned, but rather, a way of asking questions.

Issues and Physical Science may be purchased as a full-

ASSESSMENTS

Student progress is measured through assessments
embedded in the students’ typical work. These tasks assess
students on one of nine assessment variables and pair
with more typical formative and summative
classroom assessment.
lab-aids.com/assessment

LITERACY

Students must be literate to study science. In order to gain
scientific knowledge, students must be able to understand
and evaluate scientific material. This requires them to
possess the literacy skills necessary to read, view, and
articulate scientific thoughts. Our embedded strategies
help teachers mindfully increase student literacy.
lab-aids.com/literacy

DIFFERENTIATION

Because the SEPUP middle school program is research-based
it is developed, at its core, to differentiate for multiple learning
styles. This intentionally flexible approach to all program
activity types helps accomplish our goal that all students
achieve scientific literacy.

Integrated technology

Added as it’s appropriate to enhance student learning, technology in the SEPUP
program never replaces what is more effectively taught through hands-on activities.

Implementing SEPUP

The SEPUP program has the ability to transform how our students learn science in Florida
- but that transformation will not happen overnight. Where is the best place to start? How
do we ensure that our teachers will be supported?

We consistently see that schools who thoughtfully incorporate Professional Development
into their adoption plan are able to significantly accelerate the implementation process.

Suggested PD Plan for Implementation

PD needs vary greatly so we tailor sessions to best meet each school’s needs


year one (over 2–4 sessions)

• S hift from teacher to student driven classroom
• Using overarching issues as content context
• Focus on engaging students in the Practices
• Notebooking & Student Ownership
• Using a spiraling curriculum
• Explore criteria setting with Evidence and Trade-Offs assessment variable


year TWO (over 2–3 sessions)
• D eeper focus on assessment and student work
• M ore robust differentiation and literacy supports
• M aking Crosscutting Concepts explicit
• A ddressing misconceptions
• G roup Interaction and Communication
• G uided dialog across grade level

Transition to Internal PD Support

• Select internal leadership
• Area based cohorts for collaboration
• SEPUP Summer Academy
• Train the Trainer

Professional Development

Our professional development trainings are like our programs — engaging, hands-on,
and personally relevant.
Workshops and implementation days are taught by current SEPUP teachers who are
uniquely qualified to support schools new to the SEPUP program.

Topic Menu

Customize your PD from this list of common topics or work with us to create one of your own.
Florida Sunshine State Science Standards
Unpacking Florida specific standards using our units as exemplary models for best-practice
science inquiry instruction.
Learning Cycle and Differentiated Instruction
Course design is based on a 5E supported learning cycle model. Courses use
socioscientific issues to guide each unit’s storyline, provide a relevant context, and to
motivate all students. Detailed support for working with diverse learners is included.
Classroom Management
Discussions and lesson modeling are highly customized based on school needs. Typically
covered topics are management of student lab activities and equipment, facilitating effective
group work and using the Teacher Edition to look at possible lesson accommodations.
Embedded Literacy
Students need frequent opportunities to develop their language skills and the science
classroom provides innumerable opportunities. Embedded literacy supports allow
teachers to make the most of those opportunities.
Assessment
Using the SEPUP formative assessment system, students produce work that can be scored
using rubrics developed for nine major areas of science education. Teachers will examine
support for assessment and will discuss and moderate samples of actual student work.

THE FUTURE OF SCIENCE EDUCATION IN FLORIDA

It’s not a textbook. It’s not a kit. It’s a program.

When students are fully engaged in an authentic inquiry task they are actively doing,
actively thinking, and actively discussing with their peers. While hands are engaged,
minds are too — questioning, sorting through input, and making connections to the
lesson’s essential questions.

Each middle school unit addresses a real-world issue facing our communities and
allows for students to develop evidence-based solutions. These issues range from
personal medical issues, such as whether to be tested for a genetic disease, to
societal issues such as the sustainable use of resources.
