asis for NGSS

Next Generation Science Standard are based on A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Cross-Cutting Concepts, and Core Ideas

inciples of the Framework

Children are born investigators Understanding builds over time Science and Engineering require both knowledge an practice Connecting to students interests and experiences i essential Focusing on core ideas and practices Promoting equity

ience and Engineering Practices

1.! Asking questions and defining problems 2.! Developing and using models 3.! Planning and carrying out investigations 4.! Analyzing and interpreting data 5.! Using mathematics and computational thinking 6.! Constructing explanations and designing solution 7.! Engaging in argument from evidence 8.! Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating informa

Framework p.41

osscutting Concepts

1.! Patterns 2.! Cause and effect 3.! Scale, proportion, and quantity 4.! Systems and system models 5.! Energy and matter 6.! Structure and function 7.! Stability and change

Framework 4-1

sciplinary Core Ideas

A core idea for K-12 science instruction is a scientifi that: !Has broad importance across multiple science or engineering disciplines or is a key organizing concep single discipline !Provides a key tool for understanding or investigatin more complex ideas and solving problems !Relates to the interests and life experiences of stude can be connected to societal or personal concerns th require scientific or technical knowledge !Is teachable and learnable over multiple grades at increasing levels of depth and sophistication

sciplinary Core Ideas: hysical Sciences

PS1 Matter and its interactions

PS2 Motion and stability: Forces and interactions

PS3 Energy

PS4 Waves and their applications in technologies for nformation transfer

sciplinary Core Ideas: e Sciences

! LS1 From molecules to organisms: Structures and processes ! LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, energy, and dynamics ! LS3 Heredity: Inheritance and variation of traits ! LS4 Biological evolution: Unity and diversity

sciplinary Core Ideas: arth and Space Sciences

! ESS1 ! ESS2 ! ESS3
