28
Analyzing Jupiter DataWork with your table group to analyze the Jupiter data.
What patterns do you observe?
How would you describe the data?
Don’t try to explain the data!
29
Modeling the Jupiter DataWork with your table group and discuss the following questions: What does the data tell us about the motion
of the 4 objects?
Can you build a model that explains the observations?
What do you think is the nature of these 4 objects?
Other model ideas?
Video: Galileo's observations of the Moons of Jupiter.
When watching the video, think about what Galileo did as a scientist and why he did it.
Reflecting on Galileo’s Observations
31
Reflecting on the Nature of Science Why did Galileo look at Jupiter?
Why did Galileo repeat his observation?
What question did Galileo ask?
What did Galileo do that helped to answer his question?
32
Understandings aboutthe Nature of Science
Scientific knowledge is based on empirical evidence.
New technologies advance scientific knowledge.
34
Understandings aboutthe Nature of Science
Science investigations use diverse methods and do not always use the same set of procedures to obtain data.
35
Reflecting on the Nature of Science Why do you think scientific knowledge
changes? New Technologies allow us to collect new
evidence
36
Understandings aboutthe Nature of Science
Scientific explanations are subject to revision and improvement in light of new evidence.
The certainty and durability of science findings varies.
Science findings are frequently revised and/or reinterpreted based on new evidence.
38
Understandings aboutthe Nature of Science
Science is a human endeavor.
Scientists and engineers rely on human qualities such as persistence, precision, reasoning, logic, imagination, and creativity.
39
We will assume circular motion.
Discuss with your table group how the data can be used to compare the times it takes each moon to complete an orbit.
Analyzing Data
40
1. Determine the time it takes for your moon to complete one orbit. [unit = day]
2. Determine the distance to Jupiter (or the radius of the orbit). [unit is million km]
3. Determine the length of the orbital path for your moon. [unit is million km]
4. Calculate the speed by dividing the length of the orbit by the time it takes the moon to complete it. [unit = million km / day]
Data Analysis Steps
41
Graph the data for speed versus distance and describe what this graph tells you.

How did your previous knowledge and experiences (related to Solar System objects) interfere or help you as you completed this investigation?
47
ReflectionIndividually answer the following question:
How would you reply to a student who said “If science constantly changes, how can we trust it?”
48
Understandings AboutThe Nature of Science
The first four understandings are closely associated with Practices:
1. Scientific Investigations Use a Variety of Methods
2. Scientific Knowledge is Based on Empirical Evidence
3. Scientific Knowledge is Open to Revision in Light of New Evidence
4. Scientific Models, Laws, Mechanisms, and Theories Explain Natural Phenomena
49
Understandings AboutThe Nature of Science
The second four understandings are closely associated with Crosscutting Concepts:
1. Science is a Way of Knowing
2. Scientific Knowledge Assumes an Order and Consistency in Natural Systems
3. Science is a Human Endeavor
4. Science Addresses Questions About the Natural and Material World
50
Recommendations for InstructionAbout The Nature of Science
Discuss the following question with a partner:●What did we do today that got you thinking about
one or more aspects of the nature of science?
51
Recommendations for InstructionAbout The Nature of Science
52
●Students must reflect specifically on how the practices contribute to the accumulation of scientific knowledge.
●Students can begin to understand the importance of each practice and develop a nuanced appreciation of the Nature of Science.
●Using examples from the history of science is another method for presenting the Nature of Science.
●Curriculum materials: guide teachers to engage students in these reflections and provide examples from the history of science.
Understanding About theNature of Science Across Grades
●Review Table of Nature of Science
●The Nature of Science Matrix on pages 5-6 presents eight major themes and grade level understandings about the Nature of Science.
●Review its progression across grades.
●Make notes about things you notice about the progression.
53
July 2011
The NGSS was DevelopedBased on a Framework
● The NGSS was developed based on a Framework for K-12 Education published by the National Academies.
● The NGSS incorporates our best understanding of how students learn science.
● The NGSS takes into account the needs of the 21st Century workplace.
54
The Framework is Designed to Help Realize a Vision of Science Education
●A vision of science education in which all students’ experiences over multiple years foster progressively deeper understanding of science.
●Students actively engage in science and engineering practices in order to deepen their understanding of crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas.
● In order to achieve the vision embodied in the Framework and to best support students’ learning, all three dimensions should to be integrated into the system of standards, curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
NRC Framework Page 217
55
Standards Integrate Core Ideas, Crosscutting Ideas, & Practices
● “Standards should emphasize all three dimensions
articulated in the framework—not only crosscutting
concepts and disciplinary core ideas but also science
and engineering practices.” (NRC 2011, Rec 4)
● “Standards should include performance expectations
that integrate the science and engineering practices with
the crosscutting concepts and disciplinary core ideas.
These expectations should require that students
demonstrate knowledge-in-use and include criteria for
identifying successful performance.” (NRC 2011, Rec 5).57
July 2011
Developing the Standards
2011 - April 2013
Public Reviews:
● May 2012
● January 2013
● 95% of Performance Expectations rewritten.
● 33% of Performance Expectations removed. 58
To understand and successfully implement NGSS, which includes assessments, curricula, instruction, and teacher development, it is critical to understand this Framework and its Vision for Science Teaching and Learning that is the basis for the NGSS.

MS.Space SystemsStudents who demonstrate understanding can: MS-ESS1-3. Analyze and interpret data to determine scale properties of objects in the solar
system. [Clarification Statement: Emphasis is on the analysis of data from Earth-based instruments, space-based telescopes, and spacecraft to determine similarities and differences among solar system objects. Examples of scale properties include the sizes of an object’s layers (such as crust and atmosphere), surface features (such as volcanoes), and orbital radius. Examples of data include statistical information, drawings and photographs, and models.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include recalling facts about properties of the planets and other solar system bodies.]
The performance expectations above were developed using the following elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education:
Science and Engineering Practices Disciplinary Core Ideas Crosscutting Concepts Analyzing and Interpreting DataAnalyzing data in 6-8 builds on K-5 experiences and progresses to extending quantitative analysis to investigations, distinguishing between correlation and causation, and basic statistical techniques of data and error analysis.
Analyze and interpret data to determine similarities and differences in findings. (MS-ESS1-3)
ESS1.B: Earth and the Solar System
The solar system consists of the sun and a collection of objects, including planets, their moons, and asteroids that are held in orbit around the sun by its gravitational pull on them. (MS-ESS1-2),(MS-ESS1-3)
Scale, Proportion, and Quantity
Time, space, and energy phenomena can be observed at various scales using models to study systems that are too large or too small. (MS-ESS1-3)
-------------------------------------Connections to
Engineering, Technology, and Applications of
Science
Interdependence of Science, Engineering, and Technology
Engineering advances have led to important discoveries in virtually every field of science and scientific discoveries have led to the development of entire industries and engineered systems.(MS-ESS1-3)
Note: Performance expectations combine practices, core ideas, and crosscutting concepts into a single statement of what is to be assessed. They are not instructional strategies or objectives for a lesson.

Standards, Curriculum,and Instruction
Standards are like the
blueprint of a house.
Curriculum is the house after it is built with all its walls, floors, doors, windows, and roof in place.
Instruction is how you make this house your home, how you decorate it, and where you spend your time.
70
●Curriculum Materials must contain an instructional sequence that would lead students to required performance.
●Curriculum materials need to do more than present and assess scientific ideas – they need to involve learners in using scientific practices to develop and apply the scientific ideas.
