Crosscutting Concepts • Patterns • Cause and Effect • Scale, Proportion, and Quantity • Systems and System Models • Energy and Matter: Flows, Cycles, and Conservation • Structure and Function • Stability and Change
Classroom Implications • What is the benefit to students of understanding the crosscutting concepts? • How can you connect classroom instruction to the crosscutting concepts?

Breakfast • You will be assigned a cross cutting concept • Use the questions to help think about how breakfast connects to the assigned crosscutting concept. • Choose the question(s) that best help you to connect to that crosscutting concept. • Construct an explanation about how the cross cutting concept relates to breakfast. Use a poster to share your explanation. Use the symbol for the cross cutting concept on your poster.
Gallery Walk • With your group visit the posters. • Where you see a connection to a crosscutting concept other than the one for that poster, draw the symbol for that crosscutting concept.
Reflect • How did the questions and the activity help you think about the science concepts and the crosscutting concepts?
Final Thoughts • What did you learn? • What questions do you have? • What other ideas do you have for connecting students to the NGSS Crosscutting Concepts?
