 Representative of Oregon ◦ Geographically ◦ Grade levels ◦ Experience ◦ School and district size and demographics  Represent the views of Oregon Educators  Community College  University  Business and Industry

 The State Board of education shall regularly and periodically review and revise…rigorous academic content standards in mathematics, science, history, geography, economics, civics, English, and physical education.  The review shall involve teachers…and other citizens and shall provide for ample opportunity for public comment.  School districts…shall offer students instruction…that that meets the academic content standards adopted by the State Board of Education… (ORS )

“Academic content standards” means expectations of student knowledge and skills adopted by the State Board of Education under ORS

1. Interconnected Nature of Science as it is Practiced and Experienced in the Real World 2. Student Performance Expectations – NOT Curriculum. 3. Science Concepts Build Coherently from K–12 4. Focus on Deeper Understanding of Content as well as Application of Content 5. Science and Engineering are Integrated in the NGSS 6. Prepare students for College, Career, and Citizenship 7. The NGSS and CCSS are Aligned

Traditional vs. NGSS Instruction Historically, science instruction could be very disjointed

Instruction Builds Toward PEs Performance Expectation

NGSS Concept Bundling Matter and Its Interactions 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. 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 models to describe the atomic composition of simple molecules and extended structures. MS-PS1-2. Analyze and interpret data on the properties of substances before and after the substances 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 changes in particle motion, temperature, and state of a pure substance when thermal energy is added or removed. MS-PS1-5. Develop and use a model to describe how the total number of atoms does not change in a chemical reaction and thus mass is 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.* Within this DCI, 4 of the 8 Practices are highlighted. For instruction, additional practices would be used to build toward these understandings.

Grade 3 - Planning and Carrying Out Investigations and Analyzing and Interpreting Data 3-PS2-1. Plan and conduct an investigation to provide evidence of the effects of balanced and unbalanced forces on the motion of an object. 3-PS2-2. Make observations and/or measurements of an object’s motion to provide evidence that that a pattern can be used to predict future motion.

Middle School – Systems and System Models MS-PS2-4. Construct and present arguments using evidence to support the claim that gravitational interactions are attractive and depend on the masses of interacting objects. MS-PS3-2. Develop a model to describe that when the arrangement of objects interacting at a distance changes, different amounts of potential energy are stored in the system. MS-ESS1-2. Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.

For exponential models, express as a logarithm the solution to ab ct =d where a, c, and d are numbers and the base b is 2, 10, or e; evaluate the logarithm using technology. Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences, given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input- output pairs (include reading these from a table). 2. Apply concepts of statistics and probability to support explanations that organisms with an advantageous heritable trait tend to increase in proportion to organisms lacking this trait. 6. Create or revise a simulation to test a solution to mitigate adverse impacts of human activity on biodiversity.* 1. Use mathematical and/or computational representations to support explanations of factors that affect carrying capacity of ecosystems at different scales. 4. Use mathematical representations to support claims for the cycling of matter and flow of energy among organisms in an ecosystem. 7. Design, evaluate, and refine a solution for reducing the impacts of human activities on the environment and biodiversity.* Cause and EffectSystems and System Models NGSS LS4: Biological Evolution NGSS LS2: Ecosystems Bundling Math and Science Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.
