Next Generation Science Standards

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are K-12 science standards aligned across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally bench-marked science education. The NGSS are a parallel initiative to the Common Core, but are not part of the CCSS.

Teaching Science to Diverse Populations and Related Case Studies

The Next Generation Science Standards include guidance ( Appendix D) on implementation with diverse populations such as English language learners.

The ELL case study focuses on a 2nd-grade classroom learning about soil in an Earth Science lesson. (Read more about each document in our Research and Reports section.)

Sensory activities for children who need visual content included in an activity.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
By: Stephanie Shabangu, Penfield Children's Center

Children have a natural curiosity for the world around them and love to explore their environment by using all five senses. A great way to encourage a life-long love of learning at an early age is through science. Kid-friendly science can be done rain or shine, indoors or out and can entertain your child for hours without involving screen time. Science can also be a great way to spend family time together and teach your little one how to carry out projects safely. Adult supervision is important when working on these "experiments."

Here are three fun and safe science projects for your budding scientist:
Time for Slime!
One of the most popular projects these days is slime. However, many of the common recipes first introduced were later found to use ingredients that were not safe for children. Below is an easy, safe recipe for your child's favorite glittery goo from Elmer's.
Ingredients:

1 large mixing bowl

1/2 tbsp baking soda

1¼ tbsp contact lens solution

6 fl oz Elmer's Glitter Glue

Instructions

1. Squeeze out an entire bottle of Elmer's Glitter Glue into your mixing bowl.

2. Add in ½ tbsp of baking soda and mix well.

3. Stir in 1¼ tbsp of contact lens solution.

4. Mix all ingredients together until you obtain the desired slime consistency.

5. Take slime out of bowl, knead with hands and play!

- Sand Foam
This enjoyable sensory activity is fun for all ages and can be made more smooth or grainy, depending on your child's texture preference.
Ingredients

1 large container

3 cups of sand

1 can shaving cream

Instructions

1. Pour 3 cups of sand into your container. Gradually add the shaving cream and combine using your hands. Continue to add more shaving cream until you reach the desired consistency.

2. Allow your child to shape, flatten and cut shapes into the sand using sand toys and cookie cutters.

- Tie-dye Milk
This activity is a fun, colorful way to teach kids how different types of liquids interact with one another. The activity shows how the fat in whole milk keeps the colors from mixing, but once the dish detergent is added, the degreaser basically "attacks" the milk fat, and causes the colors to mix together.
Ingredients

1 shallow baking dish

2 cups of whole milk

3 different bottles of food coloring

Dawn dish detergent

Instructions

1. Pour the milk into your baking dish.

2. Carefully put one drop of each of the food colors onto the surface of the milk. Make sure they are widely spaced and not in the center of the dish.

3. Squeeze one drop of Dawn dish detergent onto the surface of the milk in the center of the dish and observe how all of the colors start to blend together to form a "tie-dye" design.

Sensory-based science projects are a fun, educational way to keep your child entertained and spend quality time together learning new concepts.

Rationale

A science notebook, such as the one shown in the figure below, is a strategy for students to record and reflect on inquiry-based observations, activities, investigations, and experiments in order to increase their understanding of science instruction.

Science notebooks are also an excellent tool for students to communicate their understanding of science concepts, for teachers to provide students with feedback, and, finally, to assess students (Shepardson & Britsch, 2000, 2001).

Science notebooks are also a way for teachers to integrate science experiences with literacy and mathematics because they combine science inquiry, written communication, and data using measurement (Gilbert & Kotelman, 2005; Klentschy, 2005; Yore, Bisanz, & Hand, 2003).

Science notebook, behavior of mealworms, 3/4 grade

Science notebooks are modeled after the way scientists really work, and each scientist's notebook is unique to that person, area of inquiry, type of experiment, and investigation. Student scientists record their observations, ideas, drawings, and other illustrations such as charts, tables, models, and graphs, along with their questions, ideas, and reflections in a running record of their thinking. A notebook may follow a general organization, but the contents can vary from student to student. Writing frames have also proven useful as prompts for students' entries in their notebooks (Warwick, Stephenson, Webster, & Bourne, 2003).

Research has shown that science notebooks support differentiated instruction for English learners through the use of this open format and other useful strategies for teaching English learners such as tapping prior knowledge, the five senses, interaction in groups, and primary language support. (Amaral, Garrison, & Klentschy, 2002). Teachers can use science notebooks to conference with students for purposes of assessment and guidance (Aschbacher & Alonzo, 2006; Ruiz-Primo & Li, 2004).

Strategy

Introduce the use of science notebooks with children's books that are based on the notebooks, journals, diaries, and records of scientists appropriate for each grade level. Discuss the books with students using reader response questions and prompts to engage them. Then model how to use a science notebook before, during, and after classroom science experiences, observations, and investigations.

A template can be used with students on a classroom chart, poster, or overhead transparency, with an individual copy for each student that includes the parts of a notebook - including places where students can formulate and develop their questions, make predictions, record observational data, describe procedures and results, write thoughtful reflections, and keep a record of the new concepts they are learning.

While each teacher will differentiate science notebook organization according to the grade level, interests, abilities, and individual needs of their students, here are the parts of science notebooks frequently used by teachers:

There are several ways to make science notebooks: in a composition book, a spiral notebook, a three ring binder with loose leaf paper and section dividers, or in a three-prong paper folder.

Writing frames can be provided for students to begin their entries, and they can bevaried by grade level. For example:

"We are trying to find out ..." (Grade 4)

"We made the test fair by ..." (Grade 4)

"By carrying out these measurements we are able to find the connection between ... and ..." (Grade 6)

"My results are accurate and reliable because ..." (Grade 7)

Technology

Students can also word process notes and use drawing functions and other types of graphics on programs like Word, such as charts, graphs, tables, and so on. Older and more advanced students could keep an online science notebook and create a blog so other students in the class could comment on and compare their findings. In addition to using nonfiction literature to supplement observations and inquiries in a science notebook, students can do online research.

Grade-level modifications

K-2nd Grade

Introduce science notebooks on the weather by reading the fictional story Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs (Barrett, 1978). This is a humorous story of a town where the weather comes at breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the form of food. It was recently made into a major motion picture. Discuss the book with reader response questions and prompts:

What did you think of the weather in the book?

What kind of weather can you imagine?

Other good read aloud books for pre-K or K are Like a Windy Day (Asch & Asch, 2008), When the Wind Stops (Zolotow, 1997), and The Storm Book (Zolotow, 1989); for K through 2 in general is Oh Say Can You Say What's the Weather Today? All About the Weather (Cat in the Hat) (Rabe, 2004).

After modeling the use of science notebooks with students, plan daily observations of the weather. Students can note the date, time, and weather conditions, including measurements of the temperature using a thermometer, rainfall using a rain gauge, and wind using an anemometer. For younger students, record students' spoken observations on a large wall chart or calendar. Students can also make their own observations, records, and reflections in an individual notebook. Students can add drawings, charts, graphs, comments, predictions, and questions in these science notebooks.

Bring students together to discuss what they observed and recorded in their notebooks, ask questions, pose problems, and continue with further inquiry about weather. With each change in the weather, read a nonfiction book about it, discuss it with students, do activities, and students can add to their notebooks. Make a list of weather words on a poster in the room and also give each student a list of the words to keep in their notebook. Students can add drawings and definitions and create a glossary for the notebook. A good introduction to weather words is the book Weather Words and What They Mean (Gibbons, 1992).

Recommended children's books

3rd Grade-5th Grade

Introduce keeping a science notebook by reading aloud the journals of famous scientists, such as Galileo's Journal, 1609-1610 (Pettenati, 2006) and My Season With Penguins: An Antarctic Journal (Webb, 2000). Next, introduce keeping a science notebook on the behavior of mealworms by reading aloud the novel The Mealworm Diaries (Kerz, 2009), which is about two students working on a science project together and the personal problems they encounter while doing so. Lead a discussion about these books using reader response questions and prompts:

As a scientist, what would you want to write about in your notebook?

What are some things you have wondered about worms?

After modeling the use of a science notebook, provide mealworms for students to observe. Mealworms can be obtained from pet stores and biological supply houses. They can be kept in containers with a layer of bran and observed. Students can work in pairs to ask questions about mealworm behavior, pose hypotheses, collect and record data, make predictions, comment, and write reflections. Nonfiction books on mealworms can be used to supplement their observations of a living organism.

Recommended children's books

English language learners

English language learners can use visuals such as drawings, tables, graphs, charts, or models instead of language to make their ideas concrete and to demonstrate their understandings in a nonlinguistic way. Science notebooks also rely on the use of the five senses, tapping into prior knowledge - also excellent strategies for English language learners. Group discussions of science notebooks also provide teacher to student or student to student interaction, including the use of primary language support.

Books in students' primary language related to the topic of the science notebook canalso be used.

Recommended children's books

Struggling students

Writing frames for science notebook entries modeled by the teacher and co-created with students provide excellent scaffolding for struggling students or students with disabilities. The use of visual entries such as drawings, charts, graphs, diagrams, models,and so on also allow students to make entries even if they are struggling with writing.

Take dictation related to these drawings, and so forth, for students to model the writing down of their observations and ideas. A list of the science vocabulary needed for the notebooks can be posted in the room and each student provided with a copy, and materials used for the science notebooks can be labeled so that students can copy the words into their notebooks when needed.

Writing frames for science notebook entries can be posted in the room or on a copy for each student:

"I observed ..."

"I (saw, smelled, felt, heard) ..."

"My (experiment, investigation) was ..."

"I found that ..."

"I think this because ..."

Assessment

Student science notebooks can be assessed, at a minimum, for organization and completeness according to the following rubric:

Table of contents

All parts included
Page numbers indicated

Organization

Titles of activity or section
All dates and times
All pages numbered

Written entries and reflections

Appropriately titled
Includes main ideas
Provides necessary details
Shows understanding

Illustrations: drawings, graphs,
charts, tables, diagrams, etc.

Titled and labeled
Supports ideas

With younger students, science notebooks can be an excellent tool to assess student performance, understanding, and needs in a conference. Peer-conferences and peer-assessment using the rubric can be used in Grades 3 through 8, along with periodic conferences where questions can be asked and answered and a dialogue can be shared about the contents of the science notebook.

Teachers Looking for NGSS Content

According to the Carnegie Corporation a majority of the country's school districts have adapted the NGSS standards or a similar statewide standard set. The change produced a rapid turnover in science curriculum for educators, some of which is still in process.

Teachers need new content to adapt to the new standards environment. Educational content providers haven't responded quickly, sending many teachers on a never-ending search for online content.

Legends of Learning science games for the classroom are based on the NGSS DCIs, the content recommended by new science standards. With more than 1200 games and simulations for 144 lessons spanning grades 3-8, Legends of Learning offers content for every lesson.
