Week 2: Living Things and Bean Seeds
 |
This is similar to the activity we did in class detailing the characteristics of all living organisms |
1. What did you learn this week?
This week we learned more about NCSS and how to read and interpret the standards to better integrate them into our classrooms. We covered the NGSS box, and what each aspect of the box includes so that it is easier to read.
2. Are you able to relate what you learned to what you already know?
I already know a bit about the common core standards, and how to read those, so moving over to the NGSS standards should not be as difficult. When it comes to the characteristics of living things, I already know a lot of them, so I can use that prior knowledge and apply it to the NGSS standards while helping to create a deeper understanding for my students.
3. What are new or remaining questions?
I am still wondering about some of the best ways to efficiently read the NGSS standards, pulling out the most meaningful parts to build a lesson upon.

Hi Elsa! I agree that going over how to read the NGSS helped a lot to be able to break down what exactly the standard is looking for. I also still had some questions about NGSS and the best ways for implementing them into lessons. Good job on your blog!
ReplyDeleteHi Elsa! I also found it extremely helpful that we went over how to read the NGSS standards and what each part was composed of. I too am still wondering how to go about incorporating these standards into lesson plans that are efficient but most importantly fun for students to engage in! Science was one of my favorite subjects in Elementary school so I hope to ignite the fire for some of my students as well!
