11. 11 Disciplinary Core Ideas ● Information today is available virtually at a touch ● Students should be able to evaluate and select reliable sources of scientific information. ● This will allow them to continue their science learning well beyond their K-12 school years.

12. 12 Criteria for Selection of Disciplinary Core Ideas 1.Have broad importance across multiple sciences or engineering disciplines or be a key organizing principle of a single discipline. 2.Provide a key tool for understanding or investigating more complex ideas and solving problems. 3.Relate to the interests and life experiences of students or be connected to societal or personal concerns that require scientific or technological knowledge. 4.Be teachable and learnable over multiple grades at increasing levels of depth and sophistication. That is, the idea can be made accessible to younger students but is broad enough to sustain continued investigation over years.

13. 13 Disciplinary Core Ideas Physical Sciences ● PS1: Matter and its Interactions ● PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions ● PS3: Energy ● PS4: Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer

14. 14 Disciplinary Core Ideas Life Sciences ● LS1: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes ● LS2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics ● LS3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits ● LS4: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

15. 15 Disciplinary Core Ideas Earth and Space Sciences ● ESS1: Earth’s Place in the Universe ● ESS2: Earth’s Systems ● ESS3: Earth and Human Activity

16. 16 Disciplinary Core Ideas Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science ● ETS1: Engineering Design ● ETS2: Links among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society

17. ● Not separate treatment of “content” and “inquiry” ● Curriculum materials need to do more than present and assess scientific ideas – they need to involve learners in using scientific practices to develop and apply the scientific ideas. Core Ideas Practices Crosscutting Concepts Implications for Curriculum Materials and Instruction

18. 18 NGSS Appendix F Science and Engineering Practices ● Briefly review p. 49 – 53 in your binder, of the Framework for K-12 Science Education, which provides an overview of the 8 Science and Engineering Practices

19. 19 Analyzing and Interpreting Data Work with your table group: ● Review: “4. Analyzing and Interpreting Data”. ● Which of the bullets listed under grades 6-8 did you engage in during Moons of Jupiter or other investigations? ● What could we have done to engage in some of the other bullets?

20. 20 Developing and Using Models Work with your table group: ● Review: “2. Developing and Using Models.” ● Which of the bullets listed under grades 6-8 did you engage in during previous investigations? ● What could we have done to engage in some of the other bullets?

21. 21 Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking Work with your table group: ● Review: “5. Using mathematics and Computational Thinking.” ● Which of the bullets listed under grades 6-8 did you engage in during the previous investigations? ● What could we have done to engage in some of the other bullets?

22. 22 Modifying Your Lesson Plan ● …By Implementing Science Practices and Reflections on the Nature of Science ● Individually read the implementation guide, which lists questions to help you emphasize science practices and the nature of science. ● Identify anything that is unclear to you. ● Share your questions with a partner and see if you can resolve what was unclear to you.

23. Clarifications: ● General question 4 on page 1 ● The last two general questions on page 1 ● The template for science practice 7, “Engaging in Argument from Evidence”, on page 2 ● “Opposing claim” ● Facilitation of a scientific argument that is supported by evidence and reasoning 23 Implementing Science Practices and Reflections on the Nature of Science

24. ● Work with a partner and choose one of your investigations to work on. ● Identify at one or two science practices to emphasize (at most two!). ● Identify one or two understandings about the nature of science to reflect on (at most two!). ● Use the planning template for the practice(s) you chose to emphasize and record your modifications. ● Be prepared to share! 24 Modifying Your Lesson Plan

25. ● Provide a brief description of the original investigation ● Describe how the investigation was modified to emphasize one or more practices ● Describe how the investigation was modified to reflect on one or more ideas about the nature of science 25 Sharing your Modifications
