  2. Session Agenda • A Redefined Scope of Science • ESS Topics • Focus on MS-ESS1-4 • Activity! • Share-out • Challenges and Next Steps

  3. Science, Redefined

  4. Science Scope

  5. 1893 Science Sequence • Biology was descriptive until the early 20th century • Physics requires quantitative skills • But Chemistry requires Physics! • Physics preceded Chemistry in the Final Report • B-C-P sequence was set in 1920s • Geology wasn’t formally-accepted • Plate tectonic Theory: 1963 • Space exploration: mid 20th century

  6. 20th/21st Century Science: More than PCBs NRC Standards (1990s) included Earth Science in all grades, K-12 In the U.S., only 20.7% of high school students take an E.S. course, down from 24.4% in 1996 (NCES)

  7. 2013 Science Disciplines 1893 Scope & Sequence: • Biology, Chemistry Physics 2013 Scope (Sequence, TBD) • Earth & Space Science, Life Science, Physical Science

  8. ESS Topics

  9. Earth and Space Science • Space Systems • History of Earth • Earth’s Systems • Weather and Climate • Human Impacts/Sustainability 2/11 – 4/9/13 2010

  10. History of Earth: MS-ESS1-4

  11. History of Earth: MS-ESS1-4 MS-ESS1-4: Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth's 4.6-billion-year-old history.
