About this episode

The Next Generation Science Standards, or NGSS, guide teachers in their efforts to facilitate student ability to think like scientists and perform the intellectual work of science. The NGSS framework is organized into three key dimensions: Science and Engineering Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas, and Crosscutting Concepts. These three dimensions are anchored in phenomenon-based experiences. This means that learners focus on observable phenomena grounded in the human-affected or natural world, rather than limiting students to theoretical questions or even simply answering other people’s questions. This video focuses on the first dimension of the NGSS: Science and Engineering Practices – or SEPs. Read More
