The following “enrichment” lesson is closely tied to relevant Next Generation Science Standards ( NGSS Lead States, 2013 ), and most directly to Dimension 3: Disciplinary Core Ideas – Life Sciences, for example: Students’ purchases of the Amur tiger semipostal stamp require minimal time and effort...

... the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are expected to demonstrate their understanding of several core evolutionary concepts, including trait variation and inheritance, fossils and extinct organisms, common ancestry, natural selection, and adaptation. However, he might also wonder how...

...Gregory F. Grether Evolution by natural selection is key to understanding life and of considerable practical importance in public health, medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) include natural selection among several evolutionary concepts that all...

The varied lessons within this unit were purposefully created to align with the Next Generation Science Standards and to fit within either an earth science or a biology course. They use existing online geospatial tools and can be tailored to any geographic...

...Lily Apedaile Model-based inquiry , inquiry-based learning , and phenomenon are all popular terms in K–12 science education right now. Science education in our public education system is rapidly changing due to the implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). These standards ask...

...Courtney Goode Given that science and engineering practices are a large focus in the Next Generation Science Standards, biology teachers need to find ways to incorporate the engineering design process into their curriculum. To address this need, I present a lesson that allows for student...

... Institutional Review Board. A link to the Google survey with questions that aligned with several of the Next Generation Science Standards was sent to a total of 71 students who had taken the Terrestrial Plant Ecology course between 2013 and 2017. Thirty-two students responded, for a 45% return rate...

Although model-based learning and curriculum are not novel in educational theory, only recently has modeling taken center stage in K–12 national standards for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) classes. We present a variety...

...Mike U. Smith; John T. Baldwin A useful approach to answering the Next Generation Science Standards’ call for teaching students to demonstrate understanding using mathematical representations is use of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (H-W eq). This article is focused on the meaning of H-W eq and its...
