Alignment with CCSS ELACCSS increased focus on informational text
Use of science text for content aligns with standards for use text features and gathering information from diagrams and graphics.
Alignment with CCSS ELACCSS early focus on informative writing
Early writing in science can focus on topic specific details as well use of domain specific vocabulary.
Scaffold up as student begin writing arguments using evidence during middle school
Alignment to CCSS MathIn the early grades, science aligns as students
are learning to use measurements as well as representing and gathering data
As students progress into middle school, their use of variables and relationships between variables will be reinforced consistently in science class.
Venn Diagram Activity1. In a baggie on your table you have strips of
paper that list different practices for Math, English Language Arts, and Science
2. Place the strips into the appropriate locations in the Venn diagram to show the connections.
Practices in Mathematics, Science, and English Language Arts*
*The common Core English Language Arts uses the term “student capacities” rather than the term “practices” used in Common Core Mathematics and the Next Generation Science Standards.

use of structureM8: Look for &
make use of regularity in repeated reasoning
S1: Ask questions and define problemsS3: Plan & carry out
investigationsS4: Analyze & interpret data
S6: Construct explanations & design solutions
M4. Models with
mathematicsS2: Develop & use
modelsS5: Use mathematics
& computational thinking
E1: Demonstrate independence in reading complex texts, and writing and speaking about them
E7: Come to understand other perspectives and cultures through reading, listening,
and collaborations
E6: Use technology & digital media strategically & capably
M5: Use appropriate tools strategically
E2: Build a strong base of knowledge through content rich texts
E5: Read, write, and speak grounded in evidenceM3 & E4: Construct viable
arguments and critique reasoning of othersS7: Engage in
argument from evidence
S8: Obtain,
evaluate, &
communicate information
E3: Obtain, synthesize,
and report findings clearly and effectively in response to task and purpose
