Slide22
Welcome! … to the CESA #2 workshop on the Next Generation Science Standards. Take
2 minutes to introduce yourselves at your tables and discuss your goals for today’s meeting.
Slide33
Meeting normsOverview of the day
Brief NGSS backgroundGroup review lesson w/ NGSSAppendices discussionsReview by grade level
Vignettes/case studiesNext steps
Norms and Agenda
Slide44
Why new science standards?
National consistency
STEM integrationGlobal competitivenessLinks to CCSS
Better science
New research
Slide55
What are we building upon?
Slide66
Research on learning science has moved forward.
NGSS Link to Reports
Slide77
Research grew into a framework.
Slide88
The framework guides the NGSS.
“90% of what is in the Framework will be in the NGSS”
--Stephen Pruitt

Nature of science
Performance expectations
CCSS connections
Slide1111
Group review of lesson
DCI – what’s the big idea?
Earth and space sciences
Engineering, technology and applications of science
Life sciences
Physical sciences
Slide1212
Group review of lesson
Science and engineering practices
Ask questions and define
problems
Develop and use models
Plan and carry out investigations
Analyze
and
interpret data
Use
math and computational thinking
Construct
explanations and design
solutions
Engaging in argument from
evidence
Obtain, evaluate
and communicate
information
Slide1313
Group review of lesson
Science vs. engineering? What is the goal of the activity?
Is
it to answer a question?
If so,
they are
likely doing
science.
Is
the purpose to define and solve a problem?
If so,
they are
likely doing
engineering.
Slide1414
Group review of lesson
Crosscutting concepts (ccc) – connections across science disciplines
Patterns
Cause and effect
Scale, proportion and quantity
Systems and system models
Energy and matter in systems
Structure and function
Stability and change of systems
Slide1515
Group review of lesson
Nature of
science c
onnections
Use a variety of methods
Based on empirical evidence
Open to revision if evidence
Explain natural phenomena
Science = way of knowing
Assume order and consistency
Science is a human endeavor
Addresses specific
questions
(
see appendix H, p. 6-7
)
Slide1616
