Overview and Updates
Outcomes
 Discuss the development process of
the NGSS
 Provide information regarding the
NGSS and relationship to CCSS
Goal of NGSS
Develop standards that will be rich in content
and practice, arranged in a coherent manner
across disciplines and grades to provide all
students an internationally benchmarked
science education.
NGSS vs CCSS
• Focus on Content
• Literacy in Science
Standards and
Practices
• Privately Funded
• May be adopted fully
or partially
• Convened by State
Schools Officers and
Governors
• Must be adopted in its
entirety
Science Testing is mandated by
Federal Requirements
California is 1 of 26 Lead State Partners

A Vision for K-12 Science Education
Two major goals addressed in A Framework for K-12
Science Education are:
• educating all students in science and engineering and
• providing the foundational knowledge for those who will
become the scientists, engineers, technologists, and
technicians of the future.
Three Major dimensions:



Scientific and engineering
practices
Crosscutting concepts
Core ideas in four
disciplinary content areas
Conceptual Shifts in the NGSS
1. K–12 Science Education Should Reflect the Real World
Interconnections in Science
2. Science and Engineering Practices and Crosscutting
Concepts should not be taught in a vacuum; they should
always be integrated with multiple core concepts throughout
the year.
3. Science concepts build coherently across K-12
4. The NGSS Focus on Deeper Understanding and Application
of Content
5. Integration of science and engineering
6. Coordination with Common Core State Standards
Dimension 3: Disciplinary Core Ideas
• Physical Sciences
PS 1: Matter and its interactions
PS 2: Motion and stability: Forces and interactions
PS 3: Energy
PS 4: Waves and their applications in technologies for
information transfer
• Life Sciences
LS 1: From molecules to organisms: Structures and
processes
LS 2: Ecosystems: Interactions, energy, and dynamics
LS 3: Heredity: Inheritance and variation of traits
LS 4: Biological evolution: Unity and diversity
• Earth and Space Sciences
ESS 1: Earth’s place in the universe
ESS 2: Earth’s systems
ESS 3: Earth and human activity
• Engineering, Technology, and the Applications of Science
ETS 1: Engineering design
ETS 2: Links among engineering, technology, science, and
society
