6. Next Generation Science Standards

7. Building on the Past; Preparing for the Future 7/2011 – March 2013 1/2010 - 7/2011 1990s 1990s-2009 Phase IIPhase I

8. What’s Different about the Next Generation Science Standards?

9. Conceptual Shifts in the NGSS 1.K-12 Science Education Should Reflect the Interconnected Nature of Science as it is Practiced and Experienced in the Real World. 2.The Next Generation Science Standards are student performance expectations – NOT curriculum. 3.The science concepts build coherently from K-12. 4.The NGSS Focus on Deeper Understanding of Content as well as Application of Content. 5.Science and Engineering are Integrated in the NGSS from K–12. 6.The NGSS are designed to prepare students for college, career, and citizenship. 7.The NGSS and Common Core State Standards (English Language Arts and Mathematics) are Aligned.

10.  The NGSS are written as Performance Expectations  NGSS will require contextual application of the three dimensions by students  Focus is on how and why as well as what Three Dimensions Intertwined

11. Weaving Practices with Content – Not Just the NGSS  K-12 Science Education Framework  New Advanced Placement Coursework and Assessment  PISA 2015  Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology  A New Biology for the 21 st Century  Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians

12. 6 strands – incorporates affective domain 4 strands Motivation and Engagement How do we know this approach works?

13.  Mastery of subject matter.  Developing scientific reasoning.  Understanding the complexity and ambiguity of empirical work.  Developing practical skills.  Interest in science and science learning. Currently, research indicates significant numbers of students do not have quality opportunities to engage in science and engineering practices. Goals of Laboratory Experiences based on ALR Findings

14. Findings from ALR Typical Lab Practice  Content Mastery  No better or worse than other modes of instruction  Scientific Reasoning  Aids development of some aspects  Interest in Science  Some evidence of increased interest Integrated Dimensions  Content Mastery  Increased mastery of subject matter compared to other modes of instruction  Scientific Reasoning  Aids development of more sophisticated aspects  Interest in Science  Strong evidence of increased interest

15. Science and Engineering Practices, not just teaching strategies  Science and Engineering Practices are how scientific knowledge is acquired  While Practices should be used in instruction, all students need to demonstrate achievement in their use and application

24. What Should the NGSS Do? What Will the NGSS Not Do?

25. Describe Achievement, Not Instruction  Standards articulate a clear vision of the learning goals for students.  Standards articulate the student performance at the conclusion of instruction.  Standards are NOT a description of curriculum.  Standards do NOT dictate instruction.

26. Develop Understanding of Core Ideas, Not Lessons  Successful classroom implementation of the NGSS will require students to understand and apply the Disciplinary Core Ideas, Science and Engineering Practice, and Crosscutting Concepts through the development of ideas across time.  Successful implementation of the NGSS will require viewing instruction and assessment as the “bundling” of performance expectations into coherent lessons and assessments.  Unsuccessful classroom implementation of the NGSS will continue the use of the three dimensions as separate entities and lessons.  Unsuccessful implementation will reflect individual practices and performance expectations as standalone lessons or units.

27. Quality Instruction in the NGSS  Pairing Practice with Disciplinary Core Idea are necessary to define a discrete set of blended standards, but should not be viewed as the only combinations that appear in instructional materials  Quality instructional materials and instruction must be able to flexibly apply the science practices students need to experience their use, separately and in combination, in multiple disciplinary contexts.  The Practices are inextricably interlinked:  While the NGSS couples single practice with content, this is intended to be clear about the Practice sampled within that context.  Quality materials and instruction cannot isolate a single practice with a single piece of content.

28. Moving from Standards to Instruction

29. Instruction Builds Toward PEs Performance Expectation

30. Progressing to Understanding K-23-56-89-12 PS1.A Structure of matter Objects can be built up from smaller parts. Matter exists as different substances that have observable different properties. Different properties are suited to different purposes. Because matter exists as particles that are too small to see, matter is always conserved even if it seems to disappear. Measurements of a variety of observable properties can be used to identify particular substances. The fact that matter is composed of atoms and molecules can be used to explain the properties of substances, diversity of materials, states of matter, phase changes, and conservation of matter. The sub-atomic structural model and interactions between electric charges at the atomic scale can be used to explain the structure and interactions of matter, including chemical reactions. Repeating patterns of the periodic table reflect patterns of outer electrons. A stable molecule has less energy than the same set of atoms separated; one must provide at least this energy in order to take the molecule apart.

31. Building Understanding in Middle School – Concept Bundling Within this DCI, 4 of the 8 Practices are highlighted. For instruction, additional practices would be used to build toward these understandings. The fact that matter is composed of atoms and molecules can be used to explain the properties of substances, diversity of materials, states of matter, phase changes, and conservation of matter. Matter and Its Interactions Reacting substances rearrange to form different molecules, but the number of atoms is conserved. Some reactions release energy and others absorb energy. MS-PS1-1. Develop molecular-level models to describe the atomic composition of, and differences between, simple molecules and extended structures. MS-PS1-2. Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after they interact to determine if a chemical reaction has occurred. MS-PS1-3. Gather and make sense of information to describe that synthetic materials come from natural resources and impact society. MS-PS1-4. Develop a model that predicts and describes the changes in atomic motion caused by adding or removing thermal energy from a pure substance and that result in either a temperature change or change of state. MS-PS1-5. Develop and use a model to describe a mechanism of atoms rearranging during a chemical reaction to show that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved. MS-PS1-6. Undertake a design project to construct, test, and modify a device that either releases or absorbs thermal energy by chemical processes.*

32. Bundling, its what’s for understanding  Teaching, or attempting to teach, individual performance expectations led to a disjointed and stunted view of science.  Developing instructional materials and instruction should be viewed as leading to understanding the larger core idea.  Coherent instructional materials and instruction should focus on a Disciplinary Core Idea (or set of them) rather than discrete pieces that are never tied together.

33. Instructional Unit: Conservation and Interactions of Matter Instructional Bundling – HS Physical Sciences Instructional Units should be developed with these performances as the end point or target. Instruction should also connect these performances with the Disciplinary Core Idea. PS1: Matter HS-PS1-3. Develop and use models to illustrate that the different forms of energy, both at the microscopic and macroscopic scale, can be accounted for as either motions of particles or energy stored in fields. PS3: Energy HS-PS2-6. Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials. PS2: Forces HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. HS-PS1-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties. HS-PS1-4. Develop and use a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical system depends upon the changes in total bond energy. HS-PS1-5. Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs. MS-PS1-7. Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.

34. Instructional Unit: Conservation and Interactions of Matter Instructional Bundling – HS Physical Sciences Within this instructional unit, four of the eight practices are highlighted in the standards. Classroom instruction should use additional practices to allow students to fully engage in the learning. The classroom instruction should have students ask questions, use investigations and analyze data to develop the explanations. PS1: Matter HS-PS1-3. Develop and use models to illustrate that the different forms of energy, both at the microscopic and macroscopic scale, can be accounted for as either motions of particles or energy stored in fields. PS3: Energy HS-PS2-6. Communicate scientific and technical information about why the molecular-level structure is important in the functioning of designed materials. PS2: Forces HS-PS1-1. Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy level of atoms. HS-PS1-2. Construct and revise an explanation for the outcome of a simple chemical reaction based on the outermost electron states of atoms, trends in the periodic table, and knowledge of the patterns of chemical properties. HS-PS1-4. Develop and use a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical system depends upon the changes in total bond energy. HS-PS1-5. Apply scientific principles and evidence to provide an explanation about the effects of changing the temperature or concentration of the reacting particles on the rate at which a reaction occurs. HS-PS1-7. Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are conserved during a chemical reaction.

35. More Bundling LS1: Ecosystems Instructional/Assessment Task: Ecosystem Balance HS-LS1-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to produce mathematical comparisons of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales. HS-LS1-2. Use mathematical representations to support explanations about population changes in ecosystems of different scales including the role of new evidence in revising explanations. HS-LS2-4. Use a mathematical representation to describe the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem. HS-LS1-6. Construct arguments from evidence for the interactions leading to either a more stable local ecosystem or less stable local ecosystem following modest biological or physical changes or extreme changes and the natural capacity to reestablish an ecosystem. HS-LS1-7. Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing negative impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.
