1. (NGSS)

2.  Illinois is among the 26 lead states that have worked collaboratively to update science standards, called Next Generation Science Standards.  Eight states have adopted NGSS: Rhode Island, Kentucky, Vermont, Maryland, Kansas, Delaware, California and Washington.

3.  The Illinois Building Capacity for State Science Education (IL BCSSE).  This is a diverse group of K-12 educators, higher education, informal educators and representatives from business and industry

4.  NGSS was adopted by the Illinois State Board of Education on February 19, 2014. The NGSS will go into effect beginning in the 2016-17 School Year.

5.  Common Science Curriculum throughout the United States  Prepare students for future Careers and College  Have an organized set of standards for all to follow  Start Earlier and Get Farther  60% of careers require post-secondary education

6.  Science is broken down by topic  Each topic has: ◦ Specific Objective(s) ◦ 3 basic concentrations  Engineering and Science  Disciplinary Core Ideas  Crosscut Concepts  All topics have a Common Core Literacy and Mathematics component

7.  Developing and Using Models  Analyzing and Interpreting Data  Constructing and Designing Solutions  Obtaining, evaluating and communicating Information  Science laws and theories

8.  Definitions  Properties  Main ideas  Instruments and tools

9.  Patterns  Structures and functions  Influences on Engineering, Science, Technology, Environment and the World
