Today’s Objectives

Participants will:

- Be able to read and interpret pages of the NGSS

- Identify the three dimensions of the NGSS

- Analyze different Performance Expectations of the NGSS

- Explore the information contained within each appendix of the NGSS

P-12 MSOU of PIMSER

Rate Your Familiarity with NGSS

• Choose one of the following that best describes your familiarity with the NGSS and explain your choice:

1) I know there are new science standards 2) Know a little about them/I know they have different

colored sections on the paper3) Read some of the framework/standards4) I have a real deep understanding of standards their

meaning and the content taught5) I could lead a PD or group planning on the standards.

Which one are you?

Why NGSS?

It has been nearly 15 years since the National Research Council and the American Association for Advancement in Science produced the documents on which most state standards are based.

The new standards are going to get children ready for a STEM workforce by integrating the three dimensions of the framework.

Current Standards are out of date- Advances in science & technology- Advances in understanding of learning

NGSS Framework

• THREE DIMENSIONS:1. Practices2. Crosscutting Concepts3. Disciplinary Core Ideas

Performance Expectations

• Integrate practices, core ideas and Crosscutting Concepts

• Statements of what is to be assessed• NOT lesson plans• State what students should be able to do at

the end of instruction• Organized by Topic and DCI

What’s Different about the Next Generation Science Standards?

Where can I find out?

NGSS website:www.nextgenscience.org

There is also a FREE NGSS App

Three Dimensions Intertwined

The NGSS are written as Performance Expectations

NGSS will require contextual application of the three dimensions by students.

Focus is on how and why as well as what

Look at the handout that has the three dimensions

Science and Engineering Practices

1. Asking questions (science) and defining problems (engineering)

2. Developing and using models

3. Planning and carrying out investigations

4. Analyzing and interpreting data

5. Using mathematics and computational thinking

6. Constructing explanations (science) and designing solutions (engineering)

7. Engaging in argument from evidence

8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information

Crosscutting Concepts

1.Patterns2.Cause and effect3.Scale, proportion, and quantity 4.Systems and system models 5.Energy and matter6.Structure and function 7.Stability and change

44 Total Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI)

• 1. Physical• 2. Life• 3. Earth and Space• 4. Engineering, Technology and

the Applications of Science

Physical Sciences

• PS 1: Matter and Its Interactions

• PS 2: Motion and Stability

• PS 3: Energy

• PS 4: Waves and Their Applications

Life Sciences• LS 1: From Molecules to

Organisms: Structures and Processes

• LS 2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics

• LS 3: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits

• LS 4: Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity

Earth and Space Sciences

How do I read this document?

• Use the activity handout and the information from the next few slides to demonstrate how the NGSS is presented within the Framework.

• Open to any content page within the KCAS for Science

Take a look at the NGSS website:www.nextgenscience.org

Take a few minutes to examine the three dimensions of the framework.

Look through each appendix

Are there any questions about the website or anything we have discussed so far?

NGSS Scavenger Hunt

• Work with the people at your table to complete the front side of the handout

• The back side is a take home assignment that is used with the K – 12 Progression sheet

Speed Bumps on The Road to NGSS

• Discuss with your group what we have done so far today and write down what you think the speed bumps will be on the back of your previous activity sheet.

Sean Elkins’ TED TALK

• http://mediaportal.education.ky.gov/next-generation-schools-and-districts/2013/09/speed-bumps-on-the-road-to-ngss/

Can you remember all the speed bumps Sean mentioned?

Exploring The Performance Expectations

• This activity will explore the NGSS and determine how the 3 dimensions are blended within each Performance Expectation.
