“The NGSS has the potential to enable all students to
learn science and offers opportunities for diversity
and equity by bringing science to students in their
local contexts.”

Agenda
NGSS Shifts
“Students’ grasp of scientific explanations of the natural
world and their ability to engage successfully in scientific
investigations are advanced when they understand how
scientific knowledge is constructed.”
National Research Council, 2007, “Taking Science to School: Learning and Teaching Science”
What?K-12 science standards for success in
college and 21st century careers
Science & Engineering Practices
Crosscutting Concepts
Disciplinary Core Ideas
Shift to NGSS
All Standards, All Students
Why?Major advances in science
New Research: How Students Learn
Rapidly Changing World
Shift to NGSS
How?Writing teams from 26 states used
“A Framework for K-12 Science Education”
as a guide to draft the standards

Science and Engineering Practices
● Asking questions and defining problems
● Developing and using models
● Planning and carrying out investigations
● Analyzing and interpreting data
● Using mathematics and computational thinking
● Constructing explanations and designing solutions
● Engaging in argument from evidence
● Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information
Science and Engineering Practices
● behaviors that engineers engage in as they apply science and mathematics to design solutions to problems.
● engaging in these practices help students become successful analytical thinkers, prepared for college and careers.
● Core content
● Relates to the interests and life experiences of students
● Connects to societal or personal concerns that require scientific or technological knowledge;
● Teachable and learnable over multiple grades at increasing levels of depth and sophistication.
Disciplinary Core Ideas
● concepts that bridge disciplinary boundaries, having
explanatory value throughout much of science and engineering.
● help provide students with an organizational framework for connecting knowledge from the various disciplines
