Agenda
Introductions
A short overview of the NGSS - Framework, design, process
What are some features of the Engineering Design process?
Sample NGSS documents - ME.PS-E and MS-ETS-ED
Discussing a design
Break
A hands-on task
Reflecting on the Activities

The Framework
Developed by a committee of the National Academies of Science in partnership with NSTA, AAAS, and Achieve, Inc.
Weaves together Core Disciplinary Ideas, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts
Friday, July 27, 2012
Development of the Standards
Development is led by Achieve, Inc., in collaboration with 26 lead state partners
A writing committee of 43 was formed, with a leadership committee of 9. The team includes scientists, science educators, teachers, state leaders
Extensive feedback from Lead State partners, AAAS, NSTA, and many others following the May public release

How is Engineering included?
In the May release there were two modes
The elementary standards integrated the engineering DCIs directly into the text of the Standards
Middle and High school had separate Engineering standards
Feedback from the May public release urged tighter integration

What questions do you have about the NGSS?
Friday, July 27, 2012
At your tables, make a list of important aspects of the engineering design process
Be prepared to share your list in 7 minutes
Friday, July 27, 2012
Each table will share one unique item from their list and we will assemble a representative list for the group

How does this compare to your list?Friday, July 27, 2012
Let’s look at 2 middle school standards
Physical Science/EnergyEngineering Design
Friday, July 27, 2012
Discuss a designThe problem to be solved, why it should be solved, the basic design, a list of materials needed, and a description of how the solution would be tested and refined
Outline it on paper provided
Be prepared to post your outline in 17 minutes
