New in 2016! Like all enthusiastic teachers, you want your students
to see the connections between important science concepts so they
can grasp how the world works now—and maybe even make it work
better in the future. But how exactly do you help them learn and
apply these core ideas? Just as its subtitle says, this important
book aims to reshape your approach to teaching and your students’
way of learning. Building on the foundation provided by A Framework
for K–12 Science Education, which informed the development of the
Next Generation Science Standards, the book’s four sections cover
these broad areas: 1. Physical science core ideas explain phenomena
as diverse as why water freezes and how information can be sent
around the world wirelessly. 2. Life science core ideas explore
phenomena such as why children look similar but not identical to
their parents and how human behavior affects global ecosystems. 3.
Earth and space sciences core ideas focus on complex interactions
in the Earth system and examine phenomena as varied as the big bang
and global climate change. 4. Engineering, technology, and
applications of science core ideas highlight engineering design and
how it can contribute innovative solutions to society’s problems.
Disciplinary Core Ideas can make your science lessons more coherent
and memorable, regardless of what subject matter you cover and what
grade you teach. Think of it as a conceptual tool kit you can use
to help your students learn important and useful science now—and
continue learning throughout their lives.
