This is the 10th in a series of 12 web seminars that focus on the disciplinary core ideas of the Next Generation Science Standards. Presenter Julia Plummer, Penn State University, begins by discussing what students should know about the Earth's place in the universe. She talks about using the science and engineering practices to help engage students. Participants share their ideas about applying this core idea to the classroom, and then Dr. Plummer offers strategies for effective instruction. She also discusses the importance of spatial thinking. The program features strategies for teaching about Earth science concepts that answer questions such as "What goes on in stars?" and "What patterns are caused by Earth's movements in the solar system?"
