1 FOSS Next Generation NGSS Alignment Overview Grades K 5 Three-dimensional active science for the Next Generation April 2016 deltaeducation.com/fossng

2 The Next Generation of NGSS Alignment FOSS Next Generation fulfills the vision of the Framework the NGSS in three key ways: Science engineering practices have always been a critical part of FOSS investigations. 1. FOSS is designed around learning as a developmental progression FOSS provides experiences that allow students to continually build develop more complex science engineering ideas. Rigorous ELA connections build literacy skills through science. 2. FOSS focuses on core ideas FOSS chooses depth over superficial coverage addresses core ideas at multiple grade levels in evermore complex ways. 3. FOSS integrates scientific knowledge with the practices of science engineering FOSS investigations provide students with engaging firsth experiences sense-making activities. Every FOSS investigation integrates both disciplinary core ideas crosscutting concepts. Contact a Sales Representative at

3 FOSS Instructional Design FOSS is designed around active investigations that provide engagement with science concepts science engineering practices. Surrounding supporting those firsth investigations are experiences that help build student understing of core science concepts deepen scientific habits of mind. Find out more about FOSS active investigations at deltaeducation.com/foss/activeinvestigation. Ongoing assessment that monitors progress drives future instruction Formative Assessment Science Notebooks Organize data thinking to create a personalized record of learning Outdoor Exploration Outdoor learning experiences help students collect additional data apply knowledge Online activities that review provide application opportunities for each investigation Active Investigation Science-Centered Language Development Using the connections between science language arts, students read, write, discuss their experiences Integrated Technology Reading Informational Text Students read comprehend engaging informational text to extend enrich their experiences deltaeducation.com/fossng
