appreciation of the beauty and wonder of science; possess sufficient knowledge of science and engineering

to engage in public discussions on related issues; careful consumers of scientific and technological

information related to their everyday lives; able to continue to learn about science outside school; have the skills to enter careers of their choice

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

NGSS Architecture

Organize around limited number of core ideas. Favor depth and coherence over breadth of coverage.

Core ideas need to be revisited in increasing depth, and sophistication across years. Focus needs to be on connections:◦ Careful construction of a storyline – helping learners build

sophisticated ideas from simpler explanations, using evidence.

◦ Connections between scientific disciplines, using powerful ideas (nature of matter, energy) across life, physical, and environmental sciences
