Since the release of the first draft of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), NSTA has been at the forefront in promoting the standards and helping science educators become familiar with and learn to navigate this exciting but complex document. Later, when the final version was released and states began adopting the standards, NSTA started to develop resources that would assist educators with their implementation. Along the way, NSTA learned that even the simplest of resources, like a one-page cheat sheet, can be extremely useful. Many of those tools are collected here, including • a two-page “cheat sheet” that describes the practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts that make up the three dimensions described in A Framework for K–12 Science Education; • an “Inside the Box” graphic that spells out all of the individual sections of text that appear on a page of the NGSS; • a Venn diagram comparing the practices in NGSS, Common Core State Standards, Mathematics, and Common Core State Standards, English Language Arts; and • matrices showing how the NGSS are organized by topic and disciplinary core idea. This guide also provides the appropriate performance expectations; disciplinary core ideas; practices; crosscutting concepts; connections to engineering, technology, and applications of science; and connections to nature of science. It is designed to be used with the NGSS. The NSTA Quick-Reference Guides to the NGSS are also available in grade-specific versions—one each for elementary and high school—plus a comprehensive K-12 edition. The four Quick-Reference Guides are indispensable to science teachers at all levels, as well as to administrators, curriculum developers, and teacher educators.

Because you demanded it! Since publication of Volume 1 of this series, thousands of teachers are using these innovative classroom tools to improve student learning in science. Following in the footsteps of earlier volumes in the Uncovering Student Ideas in Science series, this all-new book provides short, easy-to-administer probes that determine what misconceptions students bring to the classroom about the nature of science and about physical, life, Earth, and space sciences. This new volume in our bestselling series provides more topic areas for classroom use as well as guidance on how teachers can use the probes for their own learning. As outlined in previous volumes, teachers—like their students—can have misconceptions that come to the fore when administering the probes. Volume 3 provides 10 detailed suggestions for teachers on how to use the probes to uncover, accurately assess, and correct their own preconceptions as well as their students’ (e.g., do the probes yourself, examine student responses with other teachers, embed the probes into existing professional development programs, select specific areas to focus on, examine student thinking across grade spans, categorize ideas, and crunch data to create classroom profiles). Volume 3 offers five life science probes, seven Earth and space science probes, ten physical science probes, and three nature of science probes. This volume is an invaluable resource for classroom teachers, preservice teachers, professional developers, and college science and preservice faculty.

Have you been wondering how well your students understand engineering and technology concepts? Have you been wishing for formative assessment tools in both English and Spanish? If so, this is the book for you. Like the other 11 books in the bestselling Uncovering Student Ideas series, Uncovering Student Ideas About Engineering and Technology does the following: • Brings you engaging questions, also known as formative assessment probes. The book’s 32 probes are designed to uncover what students know—or think they know—about what technology and engineering are, how to define related problems, and how to design and test solutions. The probes will help you uncover students’ current thinking about everything from the purpose of technology to who can become an engineer to how an engineering design process works. • Offers field-tested teacher materials that provide best answers along with distracters designed to reveal preconceptions and misunderstandings that students commonly hold. Since the content is explained in clear, everyday language, even engineering and technology novices can grasp and teach it effectively. • Is convenient even for time-starved teachers like you. The new probes are short, easy-to-administer activities that come ready to reproduce for speakers of both English and Spanish. In addition to explaining the engineering and technology content, the teacher materials note links to A Framework for K–12 Science Education and the Next Generation Science Standards and suggest grade-appropriate ways to present material so students will learn it accurately. Uncovering Student Ideas About Engineering and Technology has the potential to help you take an important first step in teaching for understanding—and perhaps transform your teaching about STEM-related topics.

Here’s good news: With this practical book, you can learn from experienced elementary school educators about how to make physical science both challenging and accessible for a diverse range of students. Written by teachers for teachers, Universal Design for Learning Science will inspire you to reframe your lessons to reflect how students learn and to support the success of all students. The book is divided into three parts: • Rethinking instruction. The focus is on the 5E Learning Cycle (engage, explore, explain, extend, and evaluate) and Universal Design for Learning, a systematic way to plan for and support diverse learners. You’ll see how using these two frameworks can provide challenging, inquiry-based experiences for all students that support the Next Generation Science Standards. • Learning by example. Through nine real-world vignettes, current and former teachers provide you with insights for teaching science in general, and in particular to kids with special needs. The teachers spotlight a variety of students—including struggling learners, differently abled students, and those with executive functioning challenges—as they demonstrate how strategies from the frameworks can knock down obstacles to learning. • Applying the frameworks. Additional resources include practical tools and techniques that work in the classroom, in teacher education contexts, and in professional development workshops. And here’s even better news: Universal Design for Learning Science proves that implementing these frameworks doesn’t require adopting a new curriculum. As the authors write, this book shows how you can use your existing curricula and resources while “identifying barriers to learning and possible solutions—in other words, using a sharper knife, a bigger fork, or a deeper spoon to more effectively deal with what’s already on your plate!”

Instructional Sequence Matters, Grades 9–12 is the one-stop resource that will inspire you to reimagine your approach to high school physical science. The book discusses the 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate) as a specific pathway for teaching and learning. It also shows how simple shifts in the way you arrange and combine activities will help your students construct firsthand knowledge as you put the three dimensions of contemporary standards into practice. Like its popular counterparts for grades 3–5 and 6–8, the book is designed as a complete self-guided tour. It helps both novice teachers and classroom veterans understand the following: • Why sequence matters. A concise review of cognitive science and science education research explains why the order in which you structure your lessons is so critical. • What you need to do. An overview of important planning considerations covers becoming an “explore-before-explain” teacher and designing 5E instructional models. • How to do it. Planning templates include reflection questions to spark your thinking and develop your knowledge. Model lessons encourage you to teach in ways that allow for active meaning making—precisely what is called for in three-dimensional instruction. You’ll learn to engage students as they tackle engineering design problems, use algebraic and mathematical reasoning, read technical texts, develop their own inquiries, and write argumentative essays. Instructional Sequence Matters, Grades 9–12 will help you stimulate teacher thinking and cultivate the skills necessary to take your students to higher levels of learning.

“Integrating STEM Teaching and Learning Into the K–2 Classroom is a critically important contribution toward advancing STEM teaching and learning. It blazes a trail for early elementary classroom practitioners to reflect the latest thinking in STEM education, and it provides a means by which early elementary educators can meaningfully contribute to America’s STEM education movement.” —Jeff Weld, former senior policy advisor on STEM education, White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Here’s proof that STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) isn’t just for the big kids! This book’s 10 chapters are a mini-course on blending authentic, phenomena-driven, integrated STEM teaching and learning into busy K–2 classrooms. Based in both research and real-world experience, Integrating STEM Teaching and Learning Into the K–2 Classroom provides professional learning experiences that help you make connections between STEM topics and the everyday activities you’re already doing with your students. The book answers the following questions: • How is K–2 STEM education different from what you’re already doing, and how can you do it without squeezing more into your already-full schedule? • What are the key elements in an integrated STEM classroom, and how do they work together? • How do you use STEM in concert with your core reading block? To show you how it all works in real life, the book provides descriptions of four completed projects from actual classrooms—projects with names like “Baby Bear’s Chair” and “A Pond Habitat.” An easy-to-follow template shows you the process for developing your own STEM experiences. The final chapter describes how one district created a culture of STEM teaching and learning when education partners committed to working together toward a common goal. Researchers agree that STEM education is important in early childhood. Integrating STEM Teaching and Learning gives you the background and strategies to engage your young students in STEM without overloading your day—or overwhelming yourself.

Un monde meilleur ? Tout le monde en rêve, plus ou moins… Mais il semble que le chemin soit encore long et pénible ! Ne serait-ce pas, entre autres, parce que les difficultés de la route sont souvent mal identifiées et les parades pour surmonter les obstacles méconnues ? Le monde souffre encore de tant d’obscurcissements, de tant d’emprisonnements intérieurs et extérieurs. La connaissance n’a pourtant jamais été aussi répandue et sa puissance aussi grande et disponible. Mais son pouvoir de libération reste encore largement ignoré, voire dénigré. La science est aujourd’hui très forte mais la conscience est encore très faible ! Cet essai se veut une contribution à la réflexion sur les multiples résistances à l’avancement vers plus de liberté, de fraternité et de bonheur et sur les moyens de les vaincre. Il n’apporte, bien sûr, aucune réponse définitive, mais il livre quelques pistes. Réquisitoire contre les effets pervers des religions, nationalismes, patriotismes et autres communautarismes plus ou moins latents ou plus ou moins avoués, il est aussi un plaidoyer pour la connaissance universelle ainsi que pour le doute et la recherche qui permettent d’y accéder. Hymne à la vérité, il exhorte à l’ascèse de la compréhension, à la pratique de l’émerveillement, à l’éveil des consciences. L’auteur y livre son propre témoignage et propose un chemin vers une spiritualité ouverte, adaptée à notre époque et compatible avec les merveilleuses découvertes de la science.
