1 New York State Science Learning Standards Update & Project Lead the Way Launch Showcase Wheatland-Chili Central School District Board of Education Presentation April 9,

2 New York State Science Learning Standards In December 2016, the Board of Regents approved New York State Science Learning Standards Initial transition beginning with the school year K-8 Curriculum changes 9-12 Grades - No curriculum updates at this time 2

3 Phases of Implementation/PROPOSED Timeframes Phase I: Raise Awareness and Build Capacity 07/ /2019 Phase II: Transition and Implementation 09/ /2021 Phase III: Implementation and Sustainability 09/ /2024 3

4 Three-Dimensions Science and Engineering Practices Defining scientific habits of mind ; i.e. inquiry AND engineering design process Cross Cutting Concepts Concepts (ex. patterns) that bridge disciplinary boundaries and need explicit instruction in both science and engineering Disciplinary Core Ideas Physical Sciences; Life Sciences; Earth & Space Sciences; Engineering, Technology & Applications of Science 4

5 Scientific and Engineering Practices 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 5

6 Crosscutting Concepts 1. Patterns 2. Cause and effect: Mechanism and explanation 3. Scale, proportion, and quantity 4. Systems and system models 5. Energy and matter: Flows, cycles, and conservation 6. Structure and function 7. Stability and change 6

7 Disciplinary Core Ideas Life Science LS1: LS2: From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics Physical Science PS1: Matter and Its Interactions PS2: Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions LS3: LS4: Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity PS3: Energy PS4: Waves and Their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer Earth & Space Science ESS1: Earth s Place in the Universe ESS2: Earth s Systems ESS3: Earth and Human Activity Engineering & Technology ETS1: Engineering Design ETS2: Links Among Engineering, Technology, Science, and Society 7

8 BOCES 4 Science Partnership The Mid-West Joint Management Team which consists of the four regional BOCES: Wayne-Finger Lakes Genesee Valley Monroe 2-Orleans Monroe I 66 school districts in the nine county region will collaboratively retool our science and STEM programs by modernizing our curriculum and developing shared science resources to strengthen our education programs to better prepare students for careers in research and development, sciences, and fields such as next generation manufacturing and technology; optics, photonics, and imaging; and higher education and research. 8
