This is the 11th in a series of 12 web seminars that focus on the disciplinary core ideas of the Next Generation Science Standards. Presenter Jill Wertheim, National Geographic Society, introduces a framework for thinking about content related to Earth’s systems. She then shows learning progressions for each concept within the Earth's systems disciplinary core idea and shares resources and strategies for addressing student preconceptions. The program features strategies for teaching about Earth science concepts that answer questions such as "What regulates weather and climate?" and "What causes earthquakes and volcanoes?" transitioning from concepts presented in a traditional manner to resources better suited for an NGSS way of thinking.
