2. How will this book help me to apply the new standards (Next Generation Science Standards - NGSS) to my teaching?
The chapters in Look at Us Now! Making Scientific Practices Matter in the Classroom…and Beyond present examples of how scientific inquiry merges the three dimensions for the NGSS:
- Scientific and engineering practices
- Crosscutting concepts
- Disciplinary core ideas
The Framework for the NGSS and the standards themselves require that the primary mode of learning be through investigations, incorporating all three of these dimensions. This is for every grade level. Entire investigations are to be performed and integrated with selected cross cutting concepts and targeted disciplinary core ideas. Each of the teacher-narrated stories in Look at Us Now! presents one or more research investigations that illustrate how the scientific and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts are integrated with disciplinary core ideas to be learned for science and other content areas.
