This is the first in a series of 12 web seminars that focus on the disciplinary core ideas of the Next Generation Science Standards. Ted Willard, NSTA’s NGSS Director, kicked off the web seminar with an overview of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), including which organizations are involved in developing them (including NSTA), what that development entails, and what Core Ideas are included in the Standards. The seminar then focused on the Core Idea of Engineering, led by Cary Sneider, Associate Research Professor at Portland State University. Cary explained the overall NGSS engineering components for K-2, MS and HS, and went through a number of practical examples of how teachers could develop modules and investigations for their students to learn them. Cary also spoke about the ways in which teachers could include crosscutting engineering concepts to a number of classroom subjects.
