Why K-12 Science Standards Matter
It has been fifteen years since National
Science Education Standards
Too few students are entering STEM careers at
every level
Employers need workers with 21st Century skills
Students need to be scientifically literate to better
function in today’s society

Vision of the NRC Framework
The main goal of the Framework is to ensure that by the end of high school all students have some appreciation of science, the ability to discuss and think critically about science-related issues, and the skills to pursue careers in science or engineering.

Goals for Science Education
Refer to Chapter 1, pg.8-10 (PDF pgs. 23-25)
Take a few moments to read the vision of the Framework.
Turn to the educator next to you and discuss the following questions:
1. What are the goals of this conceptual “framework”?
2. How do these goals relate to the goals of the science program in your district?

Understanding How Scientists
Work?
Refer to Chapter 3 and read pgs. 43-46 (PDF pgs. 58-61). Reflect on the following questions:
1. Why are “practices” emphasized instead of “inquiry”?
2. How are practices integrated into both inquiry and design?
3. What is different about how you teach science and how scientists work?
19
Eight Practices
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
20
Practice 1
Refer to Chapter 3, Read over “goals” pg. 55 (PDF pg. 70)
Practice 1: Asking questions (science) and Defining Problems (engineering)

AR Science Frameworks and
CCC
*Take a few moments following your review of the Crosscutting Concepts (CCC) and read how CCC Interconnect with Core Ideas. Refer to Chapter 4, pg. 101 (PDF pg. 116).
*Refer to the Arkansas Science Curriculum Frameworks you previously downloaded.
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?

Through a collaborative, state-led process, new K–12 science standards are being developed that will be rich in content and practice, arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education. The NGSS will be based on the Framework for K–12 Science Education developed by the National Research Council.

Two Ways to View NGSS
Topic View:The writers arranged the DCIs into topics.* In order to eliminate potential redundancy * Seek an appropriate grain size* Seek natural connections among the
Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs)
DCI View:All coding is by disciplinary core idea.

Storylines
Read the appropriate storylines that represent the grade band of your team.
*K-2: kindergarten ,1st, and 2nd grades
*3-5: 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades
*Middle School: physical science, life science, and earth and space science
*High School: physical science, life science, and earth and space science

Appendix C – College and Career Readiness
Appendix D – All Standards, All Students
Appendix E – Disciplinary Core Idea Progressions
Appendix F – Science and Engineering Practices
Appendix G – Crosscutting Concepts

Appendix J – Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment
Appendix K – Model Course Mapping in Middle and High School
Appendix L – Connections to CCSS-Mathematics
Appendix M – Connections to CCSS-ELA
Conceptual Shifts in the NGSS(Appendix A)
1. K-12 Science Education should reflect the interconnected Nature of Science as it is practiced and experienced in the real world
2. The Next Generation Science Standards are student performance expectations – NOT curriculum
3. The science concepts build coherently from K-12
4. The NGSS focus on deeper understanding of content as well as application of content
5. Science and Engineering are integrated in the NGSS from K–12
6. The NGSS and Common Core State Standards (English Language Arts and Mathematics) are aligned
43
Responses to Public Drafts(Appendix B)
Changes made between the second public draft and the final NGSS
*75% of the PEs were edited
*Removal of about 33% of the PEs and associated DCIs while retaining the progression of DCIs across the grade bands
*Separate ETS1: Engineering Design performance expectations were added to each grade band
* “Storylines” with essential questions were added to the beginning of each grade band and section
*The “All Standards, All Students” appendix was expanded to include several vignettes about implementation of the NGSS with diverse student groups
*Performance expectations names were changed from lowercase letters to numbers to avoid confusion with the DCI names. For example, MS-LS1-a became MS-LS1-1 44
College and Career Readiness (Appendix C)
Challenges in determining CCR1. There are very few remediation courses in science
2. Most postsecondary options do not include a placement test to determine the appropriate level of science course
3. There is no general consensus on pre-requisites students should take as entry-level science courses
4. The role of science in college and career is changing dramatically and the new standards must stand ready to meet that change
45
All Standards, All Students(Appendix D)
*Learning opportunities and challenges that NGSS presents for student groups that have traditionally been underserved in science classrooms
*Effective strategies for implementation of NGSS in the science classroom, school, home, and community
*Context of student diversity by addressing changing demographics, persistent science achievement gaps, and educational policies affecting non-dominant student groups
*Vignettes about implementation of the NGSS with diverse student groups
46
DCI Progressions (Appendix E)
*Matrix describes the content at each grade band for each disciplinary core idea across K-12
*Helped the NGSS writers ensure progression across grades or grade bands
*This progression is for reference only. The full progressions can be seen in the Framework
*This document in no way endorses separating the disciplinary core ideas from the other two dimensions
47
Earth and Space Science Progression (Appendix E)
Science and Engineering Practices (Appendix F)
Guiding Principles
*Students in grades K-12 should engage in all of the eight practices over each grade band
*Practices grow in complexity and sophistication across the grades
*Each practice may reflect science or engineering
*Practices represent what students are expected to do, and are not teaching methods or curriculum
*The eight practices are not separate; they intentionally overlap and interconnect
*Performance expectations focus on some but not all capabilities associated with a practice
49
Practices Matrix: Asking Questions
50
Crosscutting Concepts Guiding Principles (Appendix G)Crosscutting concepts (CCC)
*help students better understand core ideas in science and engineering
*help students better understand science and engineering practices
* should grow in complexity and sophistication across the grades
*provide a common vocabulary for science and engineering
* should not be assessed separately from practices or core ideas
*are for all students
*Repetition in different contexts will be necessary to build familiarity
*Performance expectations focus on some but not all capabilities associated with a crosscutting concept
* Inclusion of Nature of Science and Engineering Concepts51
Progression of CCCs Across the Grades: Scale, Proportion and
Quantity
Nature of Science (NOS)(Appendix H)
The basic understandings of the NOS that align to Practices:
*Scientific Investigations Use a Variety of Methods
*Scientific Knowledge is Based on Empirical Evidence
*Scientific Knowledge is Open to Revision in Light of New Evidence
*Scientific Models, Laws, Mechanisms, and Theories Explain Natural Phenomena
The basic understandings of the NOS that align to Crosscutting Concepts:
*Science is a Way of Knowing
*Scientific Knowledge Assumes an Order and Consistency in Natural Systems
*Science is a Human Endeavor
*Science Addresses Questions About the Natural and Material World

Engineering Design in the NGSS (Appendix I)
A foundation in engineering design allows students to better engage in and aspire to solve the major societal and environmental challenges they will face in the decades ahead.

Science, Technology, Society, and the Environment (Appendix J)
Two Core Ideas*The Interdependence of Science, Engineering, and
Technology
*The Influence of Science, Engineering and Technology on Society and the Natural World
There is a broad consensus that these two core ideas belong in the NGSS but a majority of state teams recommended that these ideas could best be illustrated through their connections to the natural science disciplines.
