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

NGSS Alignment with CCSS is Critical nstahosted.org/pdfs/ngss/PracticesVennDiagram.pdf Focus on Equity NGSS Appendix D and Case StudiesNGSS Appendix D Case Studies STEM Education STEM is Interconnected Incorporates Standards Prepares Students for College, Careers, and Citizenship

Learning as a developmental progression Engaging students in scientific investigations and argumentation to achieve deeper understanding of core science ideas Integrating the knowledge of scientific explanations and the practices needed to engage in scientific inquiry and engineering design KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE MUST BE INTERTWINED IN LEARNING EXPERIENCES

◦ Scientific and Engineering Practices ◦ Crosscutting Concepts ◦ Core Ideas in Science 8

Asking questions and defining problems Developing and using models Planning and carrying out investigations Analyzing and interpreting data Using mathematics and computational thinking Developing explanations and designing solutions Engaging in argument Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

Patterns Cause and effect Scale, proportion, and quantity Systems and system models Energy and matter Structure and function Stability and change

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