** Links and notes to help us navigate our way, implementing CCSS, Next Generation Standards and preparing for End of Course Testing in our classrooms. **
The full document of literacy and math standards can be studied at the Common Core Site []. For quick reference the document specifically related to Science instruction is linked at Common Core Literacy for Science... The Teacher Toolbox provides general information on implementation of CCSS for all teachers. And the State has provided the Standards Page for quick reference to implementation and EOC testing. Updated state website for K-12 Science. Plan for use of task in your classes.

Framework for NGS describes PREFORMANCE EXPECTATIONS and gives the eight practices.
The eight practices of science and engineering that the //Framework //identifies as essential for all students to learn and describes in detail are listed below: [] [] [] [] []
 * 1. Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering)**
 * 2. Developing and using models**
 * 3. Planning and carrying out investigations**
 * 4. Analyzing and interpreting data**
 * 5. Using mathematics and computational thinking**
 * 6. Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering)**
 * 7. Engaging in argument from evidence**
 * 8. Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information**
 * Cool sites for teachers and/or students**
 * Chemistry teachers - look at the demonstrations that you could do in your classes**
