The focus of NGSS is not on just having a lot of "cook book" labs with predetermined solutions. Students are provided with opportunities to apply knowledge during investigations, research, and learning by "showing and doing". Students participate in the CER model of learning which requires them to define a claim, gather evidence and apply reasoning to supporting/refuting a claim. In addition, students are provided with learning experiences that require them to use the Engineering Design Process to solving problems. Learning is student-centered and student-directed, and teachers set up these enhanced, high level learning situations for students.

There are many opportunities for students to learn the process of understanding problems, criterion that created the problem and individual and peer solutions to the issue.  Students are developing a thinking/problem solving mindset.  They don't necessarily have to solve given problem.  Therefore, NGSS doesn't have the typical science labs where students simulate an already solved scientific concept.

Too often students do 'labs' by following directions but do not gain a deeper understanding of concepts. Dimensions is all about scientific inquiry... sometimes that means lab work, sometimes research and problem solving but always 'thinking like a scientist.'

NGSS does not mean more labs. It incorporated the 3 dimensions. It is a more student centered approach to learning.

This is a common misconception. Often times the piece missing in lab based curriculum in the engineering piece. Our curriculum does have labs that promote exploration, but NGSS calls for a change in the way we teach overall, not just more labs, but a change from less one size fits all and more student-centered, inquiry-based options using the 5 E's model.

NGSS is not labs- it's a mindframe of teaching science through exploration. Just because teachers may do labs doesn't meant taht students are able to synthesize the info and apply the knowledge

NGSS involves inquiry, 5 E model and action to solve problems.  Engineering approach learning by doing, specific performance tasks or project based learning.

This challenges the age-old paradigm that a good science programs is "all about the labs"! (The more labs, the better the program.)

Labs are one way to unlock NGSS, but there are others. It is a shift in approach and culture - not just how students complete activities.

Thought this program seems similar, look closely you will see in striation that follows the 5E method where students Explore first making this student centered, not teacher led, the idea of "labs" is not all NGSS is. This ia about a shift in instructio

The lessons will have a familiar feel because a lot of teachers are going to feel stressed over the big changes in the way we now need to approach teaching science. However, the lessons are built from the ground up around the NGSS, so the focus is turned away from cookbook labs and sage-on-the-stage presenting and are instead restructured to be student-centered and minds-on where the students have to think like scientists and solve problems like engineers. We really want the kids to work through the CER model with every lab and activity while having the 3D imbedded throughout.
