Intro to the NYSSLS

the parts of something and their arrangement determine how it works

• energy and matter

• systems and system models

• patterns

• stucture and function

investigates the reason(s) that something happens and the results of this occurrence

• patterns

• cause and effect

• stability and change

• systems and system models

describes how different elements interact act together to form a unified whole; simple representations can be used to explore these interactions

• energy & matter

• patterns

• systems & system models

• cause & effect

different measures of size and time affect a system's structure, performance and our ability to observe phenomena

• scale, proportion and quantity

• structure & function

• stability & change

• cause & effect

hightlights structures or events that happen in a regular and repeated way

• stability & change

• patterns

• cause & effect

• energy & matter

neither created or destroyed; flow into and out of a system and will influence its ability to function

• stability & change

• cause & effect

• scale, proportion and quantity

• energy & matter

Over time, a system may stay the same or be modified, depending on a variety of factors

• cause & effect

• energy & matter

• stability & change

• structure & function

In the NYSSLS, this is "what students do"

• science and engineering practices

• crosscutting concepts

• disciplinary core ideas

• the performance expectations

In the NYSSLS, this is "what students know"

• science and engineering practices

• crosscutting concepts

• disciplinary core ideas

• performance expectations

In the NYSSLS, this is "how students think"

• science and engineering practices

• crosscutting concepts

• disciplinary core ideas

• performanance expectations
