Slide 8. Activity #1: Think-Pair-Share is a Core Idea?” “What 4. Identifying DCIs in the NGSS and examining how they progress over time. [Slide 9, 10, 11, 12] In NGSS, core ideas are selected for the following disciplines: Show Slide 9 and state: physical sciences, life sciences, earth and space sciences, and engineering, technology, and applications of science. Physical Sciences is abbreviated and has 4 DCIs. Life Sciences “PS” is abbreviated and has 4 DCIs. Earth and Space Sciences is abbreviated and has “LS” “ESS” 3 DCIs. So the DCIs for the sciences total 11. Engineering is abbreviated for “ETS” Engineering, Technology and Applications of Science. ETS has 1 DCI. The Framework has a chapter on each of the disciplines, which gives more detailed information on the DCIs and content. Slide 9. Identifying Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI) Show Slide 10 and introduce Activity #2 to help participants develop a deeper understanding of the DCIs.
