Next Generation Science Standards
Now What?Arkansas Department of Education
The Foundation
Available as a free download at National Academies Press
Children are born investigators
Understanding builds over time
Science and Engineering require both knowledge and practice
Connecting to students’ interests and experiences is essential
Focusing on core ideas and practices
Promoting equity
Principles of the Framework
Framework VisionStudents, over multiple years of school, actively engage in scientific and engineering practices and apply crosscutting concepts to deepen their understanding of the core ideas in these fields.
Framework Vision
Structure of the Framework
The Framework establishes three dimensions of science learning:
1. Scientific and Engineering Practices2. Crosscutting Concepts3. Disciplinary Core Ideas
Scientific 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 data5. Using mathematics, information and computer technology, and computational thinking6. 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
Disciplinary Core Ideas• Physical Science
• Life Science
• Earth and Space Science
• Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science
Physical Science
• PS1: Matter and Its Interactions• PS2: Motion and Stability • PS3: Energy• PS4: Waves and Their Applications
Life Science
• LS1: From Molecules to Organisms• LS2: Ecosystems: Interactions,
Energy, and Dynamics• LS3: Heredity• LS4: Biological Evolution
Earth and Space Science
• ESS1: Earth’s Place in the Universe • ESS2: Earth’s Systems • ESS3: Earth and Human Activity
Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science
• ETS1: Engineering Design
• ETS2: Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society
Sort Examples into the Correct Dimension

Disciplinary Core Ideas
Three Dimensions
• Not a separate treatment of “content” and “inquiry”
• Designed to help students develop a wide-ranging understanding of science
• Moving away from inch deep and mile wide

Common Core State Standards
It is important to note that these standards are meant to complementthe science standards, not replace them.

What Now?
Practices
Crosscutting Concepts
Disciplinary Core Ideas
Application to AR Frameworks
• NS.1.5.1: Make accurate observations• NS.1.5.5: Communicate results and
conclusions from scientific inquiry• PS.5.5.2: Conduct scientific
investigations on physical properties of objects
• ESS 10.5.4: Distinguish between mass and weight
Next Steps
Become a student of
the Framework and NGSS
Teach the Arkansas Science
Curriculum Framework
Attend PD to learn
strategies for applying the practices
Begin to incorporate the Practices into
your curriculum
