  4. The main goal of the Framework is to ensure that by the end of high school all students have some appreciation of science, the ability to discuss and think critically about science-related issues, and the skills to pursue careers in science or engineering. ~Brian Reiser (2011) Vision for NRC K-12 Science Education

  5. NRC Framework is designed to realize a vision of science education in which ALL students’ experiences over multiple years foster progressively deeper understanding of science. www.dailygalaxy.com Realizing the Vision

  6. Three Dimensions of the Framework for K-12 Science Education

  7. Asking questions (science) and defining problems (engineering) • Design and using models • Planning and carrying out investigations • Analyzing and interpreting data • Using mathematics and computational thinking • Developing explanations (science) and designing solutions (engineering) • Engaging in argument • Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information Eight Practices- Appendix F

  8. Note that in doing science or engineering, the practices are used iteratively and in combination; they are not linear steps to be taught in order Eight Practices

  9. Patterns • Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation • Scale, proportion, and quantity • Systems and system models • Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation • Structure and function • Stability and change nanobioart.com Seven Crosscutting Concepts-Appendix G

  10. Physical Sciences • Life Sciences • Earth and Space Sciences • Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science K-12 Core Ideas

  11. Core Idea PS1: Matter and Its Interactions • Core Idea PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions • Core Idea PS3: Energy • Core Idea PS4: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer Physical Science Core Ideas

  12. Core Idea LS1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes • Core Idea LS2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics • Core Idea LS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits • Core Idea LS4: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity Life Science Core Ideas

  13. Core Idea ESS1: Earth’s Place in the Universe • Core Idea ESS2: Earth’s Systems • Core Idea ESS3: Earth and Human Activity Earth and Space Science Cores Ideas

  14. Core Idea ETS1: Engineering Design • Core Idea ETS2: Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society Engineering, Technology, & Applications of Science

  15. Some Big Shifts in the Core and Sub-Core Ideas

  19. The intent of the Framework is to change how we teach science so that it is more like how scientists work. • How does this compare to your current teaching practice? • Will a big shift be necessary in your class or curriculum? • What questions do you have? Your Thoughts

  21. Engineering Design Process Ask • Imagine Goal: Design a rocket to land in the hula-hoop • Improve • Plan • Create

  22. Straw Rocket Materials and Tools Needed for One Rocket • Precision Straw • 3" x 5" index card • Small piece of clay • Several pieces of tape • Ruler • Scissors • Pencil Building the Rockets Design a rocket: For your rocket, determine the following • Fin shape • Number of fins • Rocket length, • Nose cone shape you want to use. •These are some suggested fin designs, but you are not limited to these suggestions.
