Three Dimensions of the Framework for K-12 Science Education Practices Crosscutting Concepts Core Ideas Next Generation Science Standards 14

1. Asking questions (science) and defining problems (engineering) 2. Design and using models 3. Planning and carrying out investigations 4. Analyzing and interpreting data 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking 6. Developing explanations (science) and designing solutions (engineering) 7. Engaging in argument 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information 15

16 Science & Engineering Practices Asking Questions & Defining Problems Developing & Using Models Planning & Carrying Out Investigations Analyzing & Interpreting Data Using Mathematics & Computational Thinking Constructing Explanations & Designing Solutions Engaging in Argument from Evidence Obtaining, Evaluating & Communicating Information helping students understand how scientific knowledge develops and makes students’ knowledge more meaningful and embeds it more deeply into their world view.

Review the Crosscutting Concepts (CCC) and read how they interconnect with Core Ideas. Now refer to the Arkansas Science Curriculum Frameworks you teach. Complete your CCC chart. 1. Identify an SLE you teach that would facilitate students’ understanding of each CCC? 2. List some lessons/lab activities that address some of these crosscutting concepts? 20

Refer to the K-12 Core Ideas in A Framework for K-12 Science Education  Physical Sciences (Chapter 5, Pg. 103/PDF pg. 118)  Life Sciences (Chapter 6, Pg. 139/ PDF pg. 154 )  Earth and Space Sciences (Chapter 7, Pg. 169/PDF pg. 184 )  Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science (Chapter 8, Pg. 201/ PDF pg. 216) 21
