The following documents are additional resources for helping to understand the vision behind the standards and to unpack the new SEEd standards.
A quick glance at how science education is expected to change with the new standards.
The NGSS Evidence Statements provide more details about what students should know and be able to do to meet the expectations of each standard. Use the SEEd and NGSS crosswalk to find the NGSS standard that aligns with your SEEd standard. Then use the evidence statement to gain more insight into the standard.

The NGSS Matrices are a reference for understanding the three dimensions at each of the grade bands. Use these to understand what students should know and be able to do in your grade band.
The 5E Instructional Model was developed by the BSCS. It is a learning cycle based on a constructivist view of learning. The model places students at the center of instruction as it encourages them to explore and provides them with experiences to support them as they construct their own understanding of science concepts.

This video was produced for a teacher professional development program, however it does a good job of explaining the phases of a 5E lesson.
