NGSS-Health Science August Connection to the Common Core

The “What”: Key Shifts in NGSS Focus: The NGSS are focused on deeper understanding and application of science content reflecting real-world interconnectedness. Focuses on a limited number of core ideas, but each in greater depth. Coherence: Science and engineering build coherently (horizontally, vertically and developmentally) across K–12. New learning builds on previous knowledge, skills and instruction Integration: Science and Engineering are integrated across K–12. Emphasizes integration of content knowledge and the practices 2NGSS-Health Science August 2015

The “What”: The NGSS were built on the principles of A Framework for K-12 Science Education  Children are born investigators  Understanding builds over time  Science and Engineering require both knowledge and practice  Science connects to students’ interests and experiences  Instruction focuses on core ideas and practices  Science learning standards promote equity 3NGSS-Health Science August 2015

Scientific and Engineering Practices Ask questions (for science) and define problems (for engineering) Develop and use models Plan and carry out investigations Analyze and interpret data Use mathematics and computational thinking Construct explanations (for science) and design solutions (for engineering) Engage in argument from evidence Obtain, evaluate, and communicate information Framework pp NGSS-Health Science August 20154

Crosscutting Concepts Patterns Cause and effect Scale, proportion and quantity Systems and system models Energy and matter Structure and function Stability and change Framework pp NGSS-Health Science August 20155

Three Dimensional Intertwined: Three Dimensional Standards…. Three Dimensional Learning …  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 8NGSS-Health Science August 2015 Three Dimensional Teaching… and Three Dimensional Professional Learning

K-12 science education should reflect the interconnected nature of science as it is practiced and experienced in the real World. The Next Generation Science Standards are student performance expectations – NOT curriculum. The standards articulate what students need to know and be able to do by the end of each grade level. The science concepts build coherently from K–12. The NGSS focus on deeper understanding of content as well as application of content. Science and engineering are integrated in the NGSS from K–12. NGSS content is focused on preparing students for the next generation workforce. The NGSS and Common Core State Standards (English Language Arts and Mathematics) are aligned.
