Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (2012). This is the research foundation for our current standards.]]> 2016-11-28 15:51:00 UTC https://padlet.com/gshealy/j0v1ch65xh2d/wish/140219148 abrewington https://padlet.com/gshealy/j0v1ch65xh2d/wish/142989201 2016-12-11 13:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/gshealy/j0v1ch65xh2d/wish/142989201 rhonda_henson https://padlet.com/gshealy/j0v1ch65xh2d/wish/143868686 I find this a great resources for many stages of science learning. It is a useful resource for engagement, elaboration and assessment. These stages are great frames for inquiry. ]]> 2016-12-15 15:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/gshealy/j0v1ch65xh2d/wish/143868686 lorenahatcher https://padlet.com/gshealy/j0v1ch65xh2d/wish/143984051 Helping Students Make Sense of the World Using Next Generation Science and Engineering Practices looks like a great tool to help with implementing the new science standards.

I subscribe to two of the magazines:  "Science and Children" and "Science Scope."   Both magazines are excellent resources for teachers in middle school.  For example, the focus of both magazines for the month of December is energy.  There are ideas for  investigations from current science teachers who have  used the activities and investigations in their classrooms.
Also, NSTA reviews books. A great series is the "Stop
Faking It!"  by William C. Robertson.
http://www.nsta.org/publications/press/stopfakingit.aspx.  I have used the book Stop Faking It: Electricity & Magnetism and the book on Energy. 
NSTA is sponsoring a virtual conference on February 11 from 10 am to 2 pm, EST.  The name of the conference is "Exploring Three Dimensional Instruction."
I have used the learning center too to learn new concepts and to connect with other teachers.

For simulations,  I have used https://phet.colorado.edu/
For a lesson on potential and kinetic energy, I used the simulation "Energy Skate Park."
