Here’s a fun collection of light science for kids! You’ll find light science experiments about both light refraction and light reflection in this science roundup. Follow our Science for Kids Pinterest board! Because we have been having so much fun with our most recent light science activities, I decided to round up some more...

Incorporating science stations into your NGSS instructional strategy is one way to embody more student-centered, three-dimensional teaching.

If you've been following along, we are diving into designing instructional sequences (aka lesson plans) using the 5E Model. Engage, Explore, and now EXPLAIN.

These light experiments are great science lessons for 1st graders! Aligned with NGSS, the resource also includes books and related activities.

Being a challenging topic to teach, Plate Tectonics needs creative approaches. These activities help you tackle NGSS MS-ESS2-3 and HS-ESS1-5 standards and beyond. It includes a food lab, music video, task cards and more! Perfect for an Earth Science class or Marine Science class. Learn more at secondarysparks.com.

I've had a few blog readers ask if I had any resources or ideas for implementing the new science standards (Next Generation Science Standards; NGSS). I must be honest and admit that I am not as well-versed in the new standards as I need to be, but maybe this can be more of an opportunity for teachers to share ideas and resources (and save us all a bunch of time in the process). So, here goes.... First of all, the NGSS are student performance expectations, NOT curriculum. These expectations…

Over the last few weeks, we have looked at the 5E Model and how to use it to design your NGSS-aligned instructional sequences. We first took a bird's view of
