  1. Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS)

  2. Where did they come from? • Illinois is among the 26 lead states that have worked collaboratively to update science standards, called Next Generation Science Standards. • Eight states have adopted NGSS: Rhode Island, Kentucky, Vermont, Maryland, Kansas, Delaware, California and Washington.

  3. Who is involved? • The Illinois Building Capacity for State Science Education (IL BCSSE). • This is a diverse group of K-12 educators, higher education, informal educators and representatives from business and industry

  4. When? • NGSS was adopted by the Illinois State Board of Education on February 19, 2014. The NGSS will go into effect beginning in the 2016-17 School Year.

  5. Why? • Common Science Curriculum throughout the United States • Prepare students for future Careers and College • Have an organized set of standards for all to follow • Start Earlier and Get Farther • 60% of careers require post-secondary education

  6. How it Breaks Down • Science is broken down by topic • Each topic has: • Specific Objective(s) • 3 basic concentrations • Engineering and Science • Disciplinary Core Ideas • Crosscut Concepts • All topics have a Common Core Literacy and Mathematics component

  7. Engineering and Science • Developing and Using Models • Analyzing and Interpreting Data • Constructing and Designing Solutions • Obtaining, evaluating and communicating Information • Science laws and theories

  8. Disciplinary Core Ideas • Definitions • Properties • Main ideas • Instruments and tools

  9. Crosscut Concepts • Patterns • Structures and functions • Influences on Engineering, Science, Technology, Environment and the World

  10. Sample

  11. Kindergarten • K-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions • K-PS3 Energy • K-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes • K-ESS2 Earth’s Systems • K-ESS3 Earth and Human Activity
