I've had a few blog readers ask if I had any resources or ideas for implementing the new science standards (Next Generation Science Standards; NGSS). I must be honest and admit that I am not as well-versed in the new standards as I need to be, but maybe this can be more of an opportunity for teachers to share ideas and resources (and save us all a bunch of time in the process). So, here goes.... First of all, the NGSS are student performance expectations, NOT curriculum. These expectations…

Over the last few weeks, we have looked at the 5E Model and how to use it to design your NGSS-aligned instructional sequences. We first took a bird's view of
