What is NGSS

Chapter 5
Handbook of Research on Online Discussion-Based Teaching Methods
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are K–12 science content standards. Standards set the expectations for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.

Abstract
In the age of post-secondary courses being moved to an online format, the use of asynchronous online discussion (AOD) is at an all-time high. However, though universities are using this method of discussion, K-12 educators are only beginning to explore it. This chapter examines the advantages of 7-12 teachers using AOD in science classrooms, how it aligns with national science standards, the theoretical framework, and explores one manuscript found about a high school science teacher using AOD. The subject of pendulum motion is selected, and each component of the 5E model is described, and potential AOD questions are written for the 5E model pertaining to pendulum motion. Tips and best practices are then discussed for writing AOD questions for science, and further implications described of using this model in 7-12, including a pilot program, creating a prototype model for 7-12, and curbing potentially emotionally charged argumentation devoid of credible evidence.

Using Arts Education in STEM With the Science and Engineering Practice of Developing and Using Models
The Next Generation Science Standards ( NGSS ) were completed in April of 2013. The NGSS represent a change in how states have traditionally approached their science standards. In embracing science education research, the NGSS represent performance expectations (PEs) that require all students have a deep understanding of a smaller number of disciplinary core ideas (DCIs), are able to show evidence of that knowledge through scientific and engineering practices, and connect crosscutting concepts across disciplines” (Pruitt, 2014 AU96: The in-text citation "Pruitt, 2014" is not in the reference list.
