The NGSS's genesis is The New Standards Framework (2012), which is the culmination of decades of educational research. The NGSS is nearly identical and has powerful educational theory backing it

NGSS validates the elementary approach to science.

Kids love science because it mirrors real life in application and the creation of new ideas to solve problems...and then makes changes based on outcomes.

Scientific Practice is what science educators have been begging for and now we finally have them. We (administrators, teachers, and students) need to embrace them.

Fewer topics allow for teachers to teach in depth and allow time to engage in science practices.

If the framework depends upon a k-12 scaffold of ideas, then I'm worried the foundation will not be laid.  There is a buy-in for ELA and Math, what about science in k-2?

Research shows science instruction improves ELA and Math scores, giving up time from ELA and Math instruction isn't completely sacrificed in the name of science.

Gives students multiple years to acquire knowledge of topics.
