NGSS key concepts – why this is different
o Implementing the 5E Model in the NGSS
o Three-dimensional learning in the NGSS
o Teaching to the NGSS
Building student engagement in the NGSS
o Managing student-centered discourse in the NGSS
o Assessing student progress against the NGSS
Implementing a lesson plan: Biology - The Study of Life
Today’s Learning Objectives
What’s Different? The Big Picture
o Students memorized facts
o Students learned about other people’s discoveries
o Students “do” science and make discoveries
o Students drive their own learning guided by the teacher
Before:
After:
o Science learning is three-dimensional.
o Science learning is a process and a progression.
o Students are naturally curious about science.
o Educators must engage diverse students in science.
o Science assessment must be embedded throughout.

Teaching to the NGSS
o Anchor instruction in a “phenomenon”
o Build on everyday experiences
o Engage students’ curiosity
o Encourage students to talk and reason
o Manage student-centered discourse
o Paraphrase and elevate students’ ideas
o Let students pursue their own hypotheses
Teaching Practices: Student Skills:
o Design experiments
o Pose scientific questions
o Integrate different scientific practices
o Make inferences
o Investigate and collect data
o See connections and analyze findings
o Build cumulative knowledge
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
Teacher Guidance and Paraphrasing
o You’ve come up with a theory based on what you saw.
o You’ve provided evidence for your idea.
o You’re inferring that something has changed.
o You’re integrating Maria’s findings into your thinking.
o You’ve floated two possibilities.
o What do you observe that makes you think that?
o Can you analyze the data to evaluate your solution?
Student-Centered Discourse
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
Embedded Assessment
o To collect information
o To identify next steps
o To determine student support needed
A Teacher Tool: A Student Tool:
o To see what they’ve learned
o To figure out as a class where they are in an investigation
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
Building Student Engagement
Interactive 3D STEM models engage and motivate students.
3D Models and Animations
5E Model lessons build on students’ natural curiosity.
Student-Driven Learning
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
Sample Lesson Plan: Biology - The Study of Life
o Biology is the science of life. Do you know what life is? Can you define it?
Overview
o Adaptation, biodiversity, biology, biome, biosphere, cell, cell theory, community, competition, ecosystem, evolution, gene theory, homeostasis, natural selection, organ, organ system, organism, population, reproduction, symbiosis, tissue

Learning Objectives: Biology -The Study of Life
Learning Objectives
o List the characteristics of all living things. o State four unifying principles of biology. o Describe how living things interact. o Explain how life on Earth evolves.
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
Common Core ELA-Literacy
o Cite specific textual evidence to support analysis of science and technical texts, attending to important distinctions the author
makes and to any gaps or inconsistencies in the account.
RST.11-12.1 WHST.9-12.9
o Draw evidence from informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
Common Core Mathematics
o Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
MP.2 MP.4
o Model with mathematics.
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
NGSS: Science & Engineering Practices
o Developing and using models
o Planning and carrying out investigations
o Constructing explanations and designing solutions
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
NGSS: Cross-Cutting Concepts
o Systems and system models
o Structure and function
o Stability and change
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
NGSS: Connections to Nature of Science
o Science is a human endeavor.
o Science models, laws, mechanisms, and theories explain natural
phenomena.
o Scientific knowledge assumes an order and consistency in natural
systems.
o Science investigations use a variety of methods.
o Scientific knowledge is open to revision in light of new evidence.This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
5E Model: Engage
Have students study: Frog - Life Cycle in Lifeliqe Animal Biology Library
Frog - Life Cycle
This is a demo. The interactive 3D content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
5E Model: Engage
Have students discuss:
o How do the tadpoles change as they develop into frogs?
o What grows?
o What falls off?
This is a demo. The content is available in the full PD. Get it here.
What students should be able to explain by lesson’s end:
o What are the characteristics of all living things?
o What are the four unifying principles of biology?
o How do living things interact?
o How does life on Earth evolve?
Essential questions of the lesson:

5E Model: Explore
“Biology: The Study of Life”
o Unifying principles of biology, characteristics of life, etc.
Reading Assignment
“Characteristics of Life”
“Common Spadefoot Toad”
