Summer 2014 PD: Exploring Science in K-­‐8 Classrooms NGSS Next Generation Science Standards www.nextgenscience.org July 16 & 17, 2014 NGSS for Today’s Students and Tomorrow’s Workforce: *  Through a collaboraJve, state-­‐led process managed by Achieve, new K–12 science standards have been developed that are rich in content and pracJce, arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internaJonally benchmarked science educaJon. The NGSS is based on the Framework for K–12 Science EducaJon developed by the NaJonal Research Council (NRC). M4: Model
M1: Make sense of problems and
S1: Ask questions and
with mathematics
persevere in solving them S2: Develop & use models
define problems
M2: Reason abstractly &
S5: Use mathematical &
S3: Plan & carry out investigations
quantitatively
computational thinking
S4: Analyze and interpret data
M6: Attend to precision
E2: Build a strong base of
M7: Look for and make use
S6: Construct explanations &
knowledge through content rich texts
of structure

from evidence
and report findings clearly
M5: Use appropriate
and effectively in response
tools strategically
to task and purpose
E1: Demonstrate independence in reading complex
texts, and writing and speaking about them
E7: Come to understand other perspectives
and cultures through reading, listening, and
collaborations
