How does the NGSS classroom look different?

Traditional Science Classroom NGSS Classroom

Memorization of facts & vocabulary terms. Deeper understanding of science.

“Reading About” how scientists do their work. Emphasis on student scientific exploration & experimentation.

“Learning About” a particular topic in isolation. “Figuring Out” phenomena.

Scientific Method – as linear set of steps Students will engage in the practices that scientists/engineers use – not just the inquiry part, but

also scientific discourse (conversations).

Please Be Advised
