Learning Objectives
The NGSS framework has three main components: Cross Cutting Concepts (CCCs), Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs) and Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs.), that are used to explore and understand observable events known as “phenomena.” I am interested in developing a unit that identifies phenomena and applies the NGSS standards to interdisciplinary lessons for outdoor spaces. Students will address CCCs (patterns; cause and effect; scale, proportion, and quantity; systems and system models; energy and matter; structure and function; and stability and change) and utilize SEPs (scientific inquiry - the formulation of a question that can be answered through investigation, and engineering design - the formulation of a problem that can be solved through design.)
