Science and engineering practices and science process skills

One of the most important goals of education is to teach students to think. Science contributes to this goal with its emphasis on hypothesizing, thinking about the physical world, and reasoning from observations and data. The term science process skills is commonly used to describe such processes and is reflective of the behavior of scientists.

Create an 8‐10 slide digital presentation that you could share with your peers who teach in another content area. Describe and compare two Science and Engineering Practices from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Appendix F and three Science Processes in the Science Process Skills.  Be sure to include a title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.

Choose one practice or process and provide a 250‐500 word rationale as to why it is your favorite. Be sure to describe a complex performance that would teach the practice or process set, aligned to science or health standards from your state.

Support your presentation with 2‐3 scholarly resources.
