CCC Integration

• Instructions

  • • Form Groups: Organize into groups of 7 teachers.
      
      

    • Choose a Scenario: Each group will select a phenomenon-based scenario from the options provided.
      
      

    • Assign CCCs: Within each group, each teacher will choose one of the 7 Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs) to focus on.
      
      

    • Collaborative Discussion: As a group, discuss each CCC in relation to the chosen phenomenon. Reflect on the significance and instructional value of emphasizing each CCC within the context of a single phenomenon.

• Phenomenon-Based Scenarios

  • California Coastline Flooding

  • California Earthquakes

  • California Wildfires

HS-ETS1-1. Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.

HS-ETS1-2. Design a solution to a complex real-world problem by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable problems that can be solved through engineering.

HS-ETS1-3. Evaluate a solution to a complex real-world problem based on prioritized criteria and trade-offs that account for a range of constraints, including cost, safety, reliability, and aesthetics, as well as possible social, cultural, and environmental impacts.

HS-ETS1-4. Use a computer simulation to model the impact of proposed solutions to a complex real-world problem with numerous criteria and constraints on interactions within and between systems relevant to the problem.
