Innovations of the NGSS

Innovations in the NGSS 1.Three-Dimensional Learning 2.Students Engaging in Phenomena and Designed Solutions 3.Engineering and Nature of Science is integrated into science 4.All three dimensions build coherent learning progressions 5.Science is connected to math and literacy

3-Dimensional Learning  Performance Expectations  The Framework requires contextual application of the three dimensions by students.  Focus is on how and why as well as what

MS-ESS2-3

Evidence for MS-ESS2-3

Where is bonding? Why does it matter? 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-PS1-3. Plan and conduct an investigation to gather evidence to compare the structure of substances at the bulk scale to infer the strength of electrical forces between particles. HS-PS1-4. Develop a model to illustrate that the release or absorption of energy from a chemical reaction system depends upon the changes in total bond energy. HS-PS2-4. Use mathematical representations of Newton’s Law of Gravitation and Coulomb’s Law to describe and predict the gravitational and electrostatic forces between objects. HS-PS3-2. Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as a combination of energy associated with the motions of particles (objects) and energy associated with the relative positions of particles (objects). HS-PS3-5. Develop and use a model of two objects interacting through electric or magnetic fields to illustrate the forces between objects and the changes in energy of the objects due to the interaction.

Bundling with ESS  HS-ESS2-5.  Plan and conduct an investigation of the properties of water and its effects on Earth materials and surface processes.  HS-ESS2-6.  Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.
