2. Washington’s Reading (2005), Writing (2005), and Math (2008) Standards Common Core State Standards for English/Language Arts and Mathematics Adopted July, 2011 Fully Implemented 2014-15 Assessed 2014-15 Washington’s Content Standards 2 Washington’s Science Standards (2009) Next Generation Science Standards Standards final in Spring 2013 Consider Adoption in Spring 2014. Full Implementation could be 2016-17, more likely 2017-18. Assessment could be 2016-17, more likely 2017-18.

5. Box and T Chart What are the similarities in the work that scientists and engineers do? What are the differences? Similarities ScientistsEngineers Differences

6. Card Sort Activity Sort your cards on your placemat. Which cards might fall into the work of scientists? Which cards might be the work of engineers? Which practices do they go with? What do you notice?
