  1. Developing the Next Generation Science Standards

  2. Instruction Curricula Assessments Teacher development Lots of work completed, underway, and left to do

  3. Digging Deeper into the Framework for K – 12 Science Education

  4. Next Generation?

  5. Principles of the Framework • Children are born investigators • Understanding builds over time • Science and Engineering require both knowledge and practice • Connecting to students’ interests and experiences is essential • Focusing on core ideas and practices • Promoting equity

  6. Dimensions of the Framework • Science and Engineering Practice • Crosscutting Concepts • Disciplinary Core Ideas

  7. Science and Engineering Practices

  8. Science Practices • Asking questions and defining problems • Developing and using models • Planning and carrying out investigations • Analyzing and interpreting data • Using mathematics, information and computer technology, and computational thinking • Constructing explanations and designing solutions • Engaging in argument from evidence • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Framework 3-28 to 31

  9. Crosscutting Concepts

  10. Crosscutting Concepts • Patterns • Cause and effect • Scale, proportion, and quantity • Systems and system models • Energy and matter • Structure and function • Stability and change Framework 4-1

  11. Disciplinary Core Ideas

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

  13. Disciplinary Core Ideas: Physical Sciences • PS1 Matter and its interactions • PS2 Motion and stability: Forces and interactions • PS3 Energy • PS4 Waves and their applications in technologies for information transfer

  14. Disciplinary Core Ideas: Life 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

  15. Disciplinary Core Ideas: Earth and Space Sciences • ESS1 Earth’s place in the universe • ESS2 Earth’s systems • ESS3 Earth and human activity

  16. Disciplinary Core Ideas: Engineering, Technology and Applications of Science • ETS1 Engineering design • ETS2 Links among engineering, technology, science and society
