Next Generation Science Standards

"NGSS"

Teaching students to think like scientists and using the practices of science is 2/3 of science instruction!

NGSS has 3 Dimensions of learning:

Disciplinary Core Ideas (traditional standards - content), Practice Expectations, and Cross-cutting Concepts - hence the cool logo!


Another Way to look at these 3 key areas:

What Students DO, What students KNOW, and How Students THINK.
