Science & Engineering Leveled Readers

Since the NGSS writers used the NRC Framework Grade-Band Endpoints in constructing the grade-by-grade Performance Expectations, this correlation shows how ScienceFusion covers each DCI within the grade band identified in the NRC Framework by also including one grade level above or below.

Leading the Way to Next Generation Science EducationThere’s a revolution in science education underway! Starting

in 2011, with the release of the Framework for K–12 Science

Education by the National Research Council, science educators

have begun the transition from old knowledge-based standards

to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Key to this

transition are solutions that address all three of the dimensions

of science learning as defined by the NRC: scientific and

engineering practices, cross-cutting concepts, and disciplinary

core ideas. Rather than simply asking what students know,

NGSS challenges students to demonstrate their progress in

three-dimensional science education by asking them to meet

performance expectations.

To ensure that your teachers have the educational resources

to engage students in three-dimensional learning, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt™ provides curricular materials that offer

students 360o of inquiry and help them meet rigorous

performance expectations. Read on to find out more about how

these HMH® solutions will help you seamlessly transition your

students in Grades K–5 to next generation science.

ScienceFusion was the first, all-new program built from the

ground up to address the Framework for K–12 Science Education.

Its alignment to the Framework makes ScienceFusion K–5

the best program to help elementary teachers transition from

existing science standards toward NGSS.

Using ScienceFusion to Meet Engineering Design StandardsOne of the most revolutionary changes brought by NGSS is the

inclusion of Engineering Design standards spanning Grades

K–2 and 3–5. ScienceFusion will help teachers address these

brand new performance expectations by providing multi-modal

resources ranging from structured lessons on the engineering

design process to open-ended engineering challenges.

4

Write-In Worktext Offers Early Introduction of the Engineering Design Process.

Unit 2 of each grade introduces students

to the disciplinary core ideas of Defining and Delimiting Engineering Problems, Developing Possible Solutions, and Optimizing the Design Solution.

5

Engaging Digital Lessons Set ScienceFusion Apart.

In addition to offering experience with the engineering design process in the Student Worktext, ScienceFusion’s digital

curriculm provides a complementary learning path to mastering these critical standards. In the ScienceFusion digital lessons,

students encounter the same science concepts, vocabulary, and inquiry that they see in the print Student Edition; however,

these are written with new examples or scenarios, making HMH ScienceFusion the only program with digital lessons that are

optimized for eLearning. The design, narrative, and assessments in the program’s digital lessons were created exclusively for

learning using a tablet (iPad® or Android™), a laptop, or an interactive whiteboard. Additionally, every digital lesson (including

audio) is available in English and Spanish, making the program accessible to a wider audience.

6

Video-Based Projects and Virtual Labs Facilitate Performance Expectations.

ScienceFusion allows students to demonstrate their mastery

of performance expectations either by responding hands-on

to a video-based project challenge or online with a virtual lab.

Either way, students get to show that they can Define a Simple Design Problem (3–5-ETS1-1), Generate and Compare Multiple Possible Solutions (3–5-ETS1-2), and Plan and Carry Out Fair Tests (3–5-ETS1-3).

Video-based projects are available for Grades 3–5.

Every unit features one or more virtual labs.

7

Inquiry Flipcharts Encourage Active Learning.

The print Inquiry Flipcharts engage students in the

scientific and engineering practices of Asking Questions and Defining Problems, Planning and Carrying Out Investigations, and Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions. This is

the example from Grade 4, Unit 2.

Engaging Features Promote Real-World Connections.

Real-world stories, such as the online People in Science features,

expose students to the crosscutting concept of The Influence of Science, Engineering, and Technology on Society and the Natural World.

This helps teachers implement the NGSS

connections to the Common Core, such as

to non-fiction reading in ELA standards.

The front matter of each Science and Engineering Leveled Reader Teacher

Guide includes a correlation to NGSS for

these two resources.

4-PS3.B: Conservation of Energy and Energy Transfer4-PS3.B.1 Energy is present whenever there

are moving objects, sound, light, or heat. When objects collide, energy can be transferred from one object to another, thereby changing their motion. In such collisions, some energy is typically also transferred to the surrounding air; as a result, the air gets heated and sound is produced. (4-PS3-2),(4-PS3-3)

5-LS2: Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics 5-LS2.A: Interdependent Relationships in Ecosystems5-LS2.A.1 The food of almost any kind of animal can

be traced back to plants. Organisms are related in food webs in which some animals eat plants for food and other animals eat the animals that eat plants. Some organisms, such as fungi and bacteria, break down dead organisms (both plants or plants parts and animals) and therefore operate as “decomposers.” Decomposition eventually restores (recycles) some materials back to the soil. Organisms can survive only in environments in which their particular needs are met. A healthy ecosystem is one in which multiple species of different types are each able to meet their needs in a relatively stable web of life. Newly introduced species can damage the balance of an ecosystem. (5-LS2-1)

particles that are too small to see, but even then the matter still exists and can be detected by other means. A model shows that gases are made from matter particles that are too small to see and are moving freely around in space can explain many observations, including the inflation and shape of a balloon; the effects of air on larger particles or objects.

Engineering, Technology, and the Application of Science 3-5-ETS1: Engineering Design 3-5-ETS1.A: Defining and Delimiting an Engineering Problem 3-5-ETS1.A.1 Possible solutions to a problem are limited

by available materials and resources (constraints). The success of a designed solution is determined by considering the desired features of a solution (criteria). Different proposals for solutions can be compared on the basis of how well each one meets the specified criteria for success or how well each takes the constraints into account.
