I can study a sample progression within the KCAS Science (NGSS) and recognize implications for curriculum development. Target kedcnextgenscience.org
Vision of the framework and standards. kedcnextgenscience.org
Learning as a developmental progression. kedcnextgenscience.org
Focuses on a limited number of core ideas in science and engineering and allows students to explore ideas in greater depth. kedcnextgenscience.org
Learning about science and engineering involves integration of the knowledge of scientific explanations and the practices to engage in scientific inquiry and engineering design. kedcnextgenscience.org
Three Dimensions Intertwined • Practices-Skills necessary for inquiry • Core Ideas-Science Content • Cross-Cutting Concepts-Connections across disciplines.
ESS1.A The Universe and its Stars. Lets look at one topic in NGSS kedcnextgenscience.org
Use one color to highlight what students are doing. (construct an argument, build a mathematical model) • Use a second color to highlight the content. • Use a third color to highlight the crosscutting connection.

The framework defines curriculum as: “the knowledge and practices in subject matter areas that teachers teach and that students are supposed to learn. A curriculum generally consists of a scope, or breadth of content, in a given subject area and of a sequence of concepts and activities for learning.” (p. 246) • What does that mean for curriculum development? todaysmeet.com/kedcnextgenscience

1. Asking Questions and Defining ProblemsQuestions engage! How do the gears on my bike work? What is the smallest piece of matter? Can I see in a room if it is truly dark? 21
3. Planning and Carrying Out Investigations How does the speed at which sugar dissolves depend on temperature? 23
5. Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking 1. Who is the tallest 2. Who is the smallest 3. What is the average? 25
6. Constructing ExplanationsThe upside down tumbler There are no air inside There is no glue on the card There are lots of air outside. Some of the air is hitting the card A force is needed to support the water
7. Engaging in Argument from EvidenceThe Significance of Argument? Construction [Recall and Explanation] Critique [Juxtaposition & Evaluation vs 27

2-ESS1-1 Use information from several sources to provide evidence that Earth events can occur quickly or slowly. • Some events happen very quickly; others occur very slowly, over time period much longer than one can observe. 2nd Grade kedcnextgenscience.org
4-ESS1-1 Identify evidence from patterns in rock formations and fossils in rock layers to support an explanation for changes in a landscape over time. • Local, regional, and global patterns of rock formations reveal changes over time due to earth forces, such as earthquakes. The presence and location of certain fossil types indicate the order in which rock layers where formed. 4th Grade kedcnextgenscience.org
06-ESS2-3 (secondary) Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions. • Tectonic processes continually generate new ocean sea floor at ridges and destroy old sea floor at trenches. 6th Grade kedcnextgenscience.org
08-ESS1-4 Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how geologic time scale is used to organize Earth’s 4.6-billion-year-old-history. • The geologic time scale interpreted from rock strata provides a way to organize Earth’s history. Analyses of rock strata and the fossil record provide only relative dates, not an absolute scale. 8th Grade kedcnextgenscience.org
HS-ESS1-5 Evaluate evidence of the past and current movements of continental and oceanic crust and the theory of plate tectonics to explain the ages of crustal rocks. • Continental rocks, which can be older than 4 billion years, are generally much older than the rocks of the ocean floor, which are less than 200 million years old. High School kedcnextgenscience.org
HS-ESS1-6 Apply scientific reasoning and evidence from ancient Earth materials, meteorites, and other planetary surfaces to construct an account of Earth’s formation and early history. • Although active geologic processes, such as plate tectonics and erosion, have destroyed or altered most oh the very early rock record on Earth, other objects in the solar system, such as lunar rocks, asteroids, and meteorites, have changed little over billions of years. Studying these objects can provide information about Earth’s formation and early history. High School kedcnextgenscience.org
Performance Expectation: 08-ESS1-4 Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how geologic time scale is used to organize Earth’s 4.6-billion-year-old-history. Horizontal Connections kedcnextgenscience.org
