GRADES K-12

Grounded in the latest educational research and aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), this book provides practical strategies for creating K–12 classrooms where students actively engage in scientific practices, explore real-world problems, and build knowledge through inquiry and collaboration.

Readers will learn how to design lessons that foreground sensemaking through the integration of disciplinary core ideas, crosscutting concepts, and science and engineering practices to make learning relevant and exciting.

GRADES K-12 ©2025 ISBN: 9798899770005 224 pages Product #: PA020X Members: $31.95 Nonmembers: $39.95 Productive Uncertainty in Science Education provides the support that teachers and students need for more complex science investigations.

Science is driven by the need to manage uncertainty— uncertainty about how to explain the world, but also how to represent the world in an investigation, what to measure, and how to convince peers to see what the scientist wants them to see. For children, uncertainty supports engagement with materials, more purposeful science practice, and deeper conceptual understanding, yet classroom investigations typically reflect little of the uncertainty that scientists grapple with. How can we move past cookbook science investigations and provide the support that teachers and students need for more complex work?

The Gravity and Orbits eBook+ investigates concepts related to Earth’s universal gravitation and how gravity affects the universe around us. All objects that have mass have a gravitational force and every object exerts a gravitational force on every other object. The force is hard to detect unless at least one of the objects has a lot of mass. Distance also influences the strength of gravitational force. We see the effects of gravity on Earth as well as in how objects with mass interact in space. Gravity is the force behind the falling rain and flowing rivers, is responsible for pulling the matter that makes up planets and stars toward their centers to form spheres, and keeps satellites, planets, and moons in orbit around celestial bodies.

Most of what goes on in the universe—from exploding stars and biological growth to the operation of machines and the motion of people—involves energy being transformed from one form into other forms. The Energy eBook+ uses a variety of everyday events to explore how all forms of energy can be represented as either potential or kinetic energy, how there are many forms (electrical, chemical, sound, magnetic, gravitational, nuclear) of energy, how these forms can transfer from one form to other forms, and how the total amount of energy remains the same and is measurable when studying a closed system.

But since the release of The Quick-Reference Guide, many states have developed their own standards based on A Framework for K–12 Science Education (the Framework). Whether adopting the NGSS or developing their own standards, nearly every state now has standards that use the three dimensions. This new version of The Quick-Reference Guide has been carefully revised to meet the needs of all educators who are engaged in three-dimensional teaching and learning. It retains the most useful features of the original and adds several new features that should make it even more helpful.

• Descriptions of the science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts from the Framework • K–12 progressions of the elements of all three dimensions, as well as the connections to the nature of science and the connections to engineering • A unique code for every element (based on the codes in The NSTA Atlas of the Three Dimensions) that makes it much easier to reference a particular element • Chapters devoted to elements of the three dimensions in each grade span • A chapter on PEs that includes clarification statements and assessment boundaries and a table that identifies which elements of the three dimensions are integrated together for every PE • Tools to help make sense of the standards, including questions for unpacking the standards; a Venn diagram of practices in science, mathematics, and English language arts; and a rubric for evaluating three-dimensional lessons and units Whether you used the original “purple book” or this is your first time using The NSTA Quick-Reference Guide, this new version will likely become an indispensable tool in your work supporting three-dimensional teaching and learning.

The NSTA Atlas of the Three Dimensions edited by Ted Willard GRADES K–12 ©2020 | ISBN: 9781938946080 | 216 pages Product #: PB414X | Members: $73.94 | Nonmembers: $86.99 The NSTA Atlas of the Three Dimensions is your user-friendly guide to understanding how ideas build on one another and relate to each other. A Framework for K–12 Science Education (the Framework) provides specific grade-band endpoints for the disciplinary core ideas and describes progressions for the science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and other standards based on the Framework contain tables of progressions for all three dimensions. With The NSTA Atlas, you’ll be able to trace the prerequisites for understanding science in every grade, make the appropriate connections to support science content, and show the way to the next steps in your students’ science education—all in the context of today’s standards.

The 62 maps in The NSTA Atlas organize all of the elements from the standards on a particular topic (e.g., modeling, patterns, or definitions of energy) on a single page. The elements from grades K–2 are at the bottom of the page, and those from grades 9–12 are at the top. Arrows connect elements to indicate how ideas in a particular topic build on each other and how elements in different topics connect to one another. Because the maps prompt you to think about ways student learning can build over time, The NSTA Atlas is useful even if you teach in a state that hasn’t adopted the NGSS. By studying the maps in The NSTA Atlas and the additional resources in the appendixes, you’ll gain new insights about the standards and have a powerful navigational tool to help you plan your curriculum, instruction, and assessment.

Crosscutting Concepts shows how to design and implement three-dimensional instruction for all students by understanding the potential of CCCs to strengthen science and engineering teaching and learning. Throughout Crosscutting Concepts, vignettes drawn from the authors’ own classroom experiences will help you put theory into practice. Instructional Applications show how CCCs can strengthen your planning and Classroom Snapshots feature practical ways to use CCCs in discussions and lessons. Useful for teachers at all grade levels, this book will enrich your own understanding while showing you how to use CCCs for both classroom teaching and realworld problem solving.

Just as its subtitle says, this important book aims to reshape your approach to teaching and your students’ way of learning. Building on the foundation provided by A Framework for K–12 Science Education, the book’s four sections cover physical core ideas, life science core ideas, earth and space science core ideas, as well as engineering, technology, and applications of science core ideas. Disciplinary Core Ideas can make your science lessons more coherent and memorable, regardless of what subject matter you cover and what grade you teach.

Think of it as a conceptual tool kit you can use to help your students learn important and useful science now—and continue learning throughout their lives.

Thinking made visible: That’s what happens when elementary students record their thoughts in science notebooks. This practical guide shows how notebooks can become a tangible record of their emerging understanding of and proficiency in science. Students can use their notebooks to pose questions, write down observations, work through puzzling data, or think through new ideas. You can use them to ascertain each student’s strengths and challenges in participating in the academic work of science.

Activating Students’ Ideas Linking Formative Assessment Probes to Instructional Sequence Patrick Brown, Page Keeley GRADES K–5 ©2023 | ISBN: 9781681409689 120 pages | Product #: PB460X Members: $31.99 Nonmembers: $39.99 Science teachers face the incredibly challenging task of combining research on how students learn best, the three-dimensions of the Science Education Frameworks that in themselves are complicated to understand, and instructional sequences that lead to deeper learning.

Activating Students’ Ideas: Linking Formative Assessment Probes to Instructional Sequence is the type of book that stimulates teacher thinking and cultivates teachers’ skills and abilities necessary to take students to higher levels of learning. The framework that is used throughout the book is an explore-before-explain sequence of instruction using the 5E instructional model. Once teachers have a solid understanding of an explore-before-explain framework, we guide them through planning activities so they can use emerging bodies of research and the Science Education Frameworks to plan their own explore-before-explain lessons.

Instructional Sequence Matters, Grades 3–5 is a one-stop resource that will inspire you to reimagine how you teach science in elementary school. The book discusses two popular approaches for structuring your lessons: POE (Predict, Observe, and Explain) and 5E (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate). It also shows how simple shifts in the way you arrange and combine activities will help young students construct firsthand knowledge, while allowing you to put the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) into practice.

Instructional Sequence Matters, Grades 6–8 shows how to make simple shifts in the way you arrange and combine activities to improve student learning. It also makes it easy for you to put the NGSS into practice.

After explaining why sequencing is so important, author Patrick Brown provides a complete self-guided tour to becoming an “explore-before-explain” teacher. He explains that this teaching mindset helps students construct accurate knowledge firsthand, which is an important component of all science learning.

Like its popular counterparts for grades 3–5 and 6–8, Instructional Sequence Matters, Grades 9–12 is designed as a complete selfguided tour. It helps both novice teachers and classroom veterans understand why sequence matters, what you need to do, and how to do it. Planning templates include reflection questions, and model lessons encourage you to teach in ways that allow for active meaning making. You’ll learn to engage students as they tackle engineering design problems, use algebraic and mathematical reasoning, read technical texts, develop their own inquiries, and write argumentative essays.

“I found this book to be so helpful as a classroom teacher, and then again as a science “coach” in our district. The Explore-BeforeExplain approach is so helpful for students because it gets them thinking like scientists! They are able to make connections to their prior knowledge and deepen their understanding of the topics. The teacher is able to be a guide through the process instead of the sole provider of knowledge. I highly recommend this book!”

Formative assessment informs the design of learning opportunities that take students from their existing ideas of science to the scientific ideas and practices that support conceptual understanding. Page Keeley, a nationally known expert in science education, wrote Science Formative Assessment to help educators weave formative assessment into daily instruction and learning. In the second edition, the author provides many new examples, links the strategies to current research as well as A Framework for K–12 Science Education and Next Generation Science Standards, and even shows how these same techniques can be used across other disciplines.

This book shows readers how to use assessment to inform instruction and learning in the science classroom. In the bestselling first volume, Page Keeley shared 75 techniques that help K–12 science teachers determine students’ understanding of key concepts and design learning opportunities that will deepen students’ mastery of content and standards. Volume 2 will present 50 new strategies linked to the Next Generation Science Standards. These flexible assessments can be used with any science curriculum.
