This is the sixth in a series of 12 web seminars that focus on the disciplinary core ideas of the Next Generation Science Standards. Presenter Joe Krajcik, Michigan State University, begins by defining disciplinary core ideas and discussing the value of using core ideas to build understanding across time. He also talks about the way disciplinary core ideas work together with the other components of the NGSS—that is, the scientific and engineering practices and the crosscutting concepts. Dr. Krajcik talks about the disciplinary core ideas for matter and its interactions and shares examples of student work. The program features strategies for teaching about physical science concepts that answer questions such as "How do particles combine to form the variety of matter one observes?" and "How do substances combine or change (react) to make new substances?"
