1. Kentucky Core Academic Standards for Science (KCAS-Science)

2. Three Dimensions Intertwined  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

3. Execute a recipe for Caramel Apple Fantans

4. Ingredients Dough 1 (1/4-oz.) envelope active dry yeast 1 cup warm water (105° to 115°) 1 teaspoon granulated sugar 1 large egg 1/4 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup butter, melted 1 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 to 2 cups bread flour 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour Filling 9 tablespoons butter, softened and divided 3 cups peeled and diced Braeburn apples (about 3 large) 1/2 cup golden raisins 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 3/4 cup granulated sugar 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 3/4 cup chopped toasted pecans Glaze 1/3 cup butter 1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar Preparation 1. Prepare Dough: Combine first 3 ingredients in bowl of a heavy-duty electric stand mixer; let stand 5 minutes. Stir in egg, next 3 ingredients, and 1 1/2 cups bread flour. Beat at medium speed, using paddle attachment, 1 minute or until smooth. Gradually beat in whole wheat flour and enough remaining bread flour to make a soft dough. 2. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface, and knead until smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes), sprinkling surface with bread flour as needed. Place dough in a lightly greased large bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place (85º), free from drafts, 45 to 55 minutes or until doubled in bulk…. Tips 1. Use any firm cooking apple, such as 'Jonagold' or 'Honeycrisp,' or a combo for extra flavor and texture….

8. Was the Apple Caramel Fantan the best analogy for stressing the importance of intertwining the 3 Dimensions of the NGSS? At your table, take a few minutes to critique this analogy for strengths and weaknesses. Now, as a group, come up with a working analogy that you can use back in your district to help teachers understand. Put on chart paper and hang on the wall when completed.

9. Homework Assignment!!! Go back to your district and use this activity with a group of teachers; have them make an analogy. Be prepared to share at the November meeting.
