3. Session Agenda A Redefined Scope of Science ESS Topics –Focus on MS-ESS1-4 –Activity! –Share-out Challenges and Next Steps

4. Science, Redefined

5. Science Scope

6. 1893 Science Sequence Biology was descriptive until the early 20 th century Physics requires quantitative skills But Chemistry requires Physics! Physics preceded Chemistry in the Final Report B-C-P sequence was set in 1920s Geology wasn’t formally-accepted Plate tectonic Theory: 1963 Space exploration: mid 20 th century

7. 20 th /21 st Century Science: More than PCBs NRC Standards (1990s) included Earth Science in all grades, K-12 In the U.S., only 20.7% of high school students take an E.S. course, down from 24.4% in 1996 (NCES)

8. 2013 Science Disciplines 1893 Scope & Sequence : Biology, Chemistry Physics 2013 Scope (Sequence, TBD) Earth & Space Science, Life Science, Physical Science
