NGSS - What's it all about?
“Scientific discoveries and technological decisions affect human society and the natural environment. People make decisions for social and environmental reasons that ultimately guide the work of scientists and engineers. Together, advances in science, engineering, and technology can have—and indeed have had—profound effects on human society, in such areas as agriculture, transportation, health care, and communication, and on the natural environment.”
The chart below highlights the main aspects of NGSS - performance expectations, science and engineering practices, disciplinary core ideas, and crosscutting concepts.
