A5 I need to work in Ss feedback and then an activity and then another assessment #hsngsschat #ngsschat

K12Nest May 19 @ 9:00 PM EDT

@Miss_Orear Assessments have gotten such a bad rap (reasonably). They're diagnostics, not curricular determinants. #ngsschat

@Learn21Tech @MsAre Little do they know if you blink you miss something w/ #edtech. But gotta unplug for a bit to recharge batt. #ngsschat

DougHodum May 19 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1. I see those CCC as common themes that students will see throughout their education, woven in many contexts. #ngsschat

Ted_NSTA May 19 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: New record for how little time it takes to make a Jan Brady reference. #NGSSchat https://t.co/wTQ8H9ZTrm

Q1 How do you see the cross cutting concepts being the necessary linking between DCIs and SEPs? #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A1: DCIs & SEPs the what and how...but CCCs are the themes encompassing why students should learn something #ngsschat

@BKd204Sci I decided to take the project over the year and wanted to see how it went. #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: CCCs provide continuity, bridging individual lessons and entire units together...creating a larger narrative #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@TrevorTutors Welcome to #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@tdsull0518 Welcome, Taylor! #NGSSchat

bickd May 19 @ 9:14 PM EDT

#ngsschat A1 CCC are the common link for all grade levels and concepts.

bpenuel May 19 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1: Crosscutting concepts link DCIs and practices in ways different scientific communities represent, warrant knowledge #NGSSchat

emmytbots May 19 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A1 Great question! As we engage in the SEPs, we uncover the DCIs by looking thru the lens of CCCs #ngsschat

Miss_Orear May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1: This is where I have a lot of work to do - CCC are how Ss can find continuity/themes in all science. #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@ml_tindall Welcome to #NGSSchat Lots of Chem teachers at the chat tonight-- Great chance to connect

BKd204Sci May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@FredEnde They r the toothpicks w/#DCI and #SEP being the marshmallow bridge Without the #CCC theres a lack of structure #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@DougHodum And what that might look like? #NGSSchat

Miss_Orear May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

Perfect! #NGSSchat https://t.co/M1CymT6OeN

emmytbots May 19 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@ml_tindall Thanks for joining! #NGSSchat

DougHodum May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

.@Miss_Orear I concur! I think that is an area where I too need work. I am not sure what that looks like in my room... #NGSSchat

wolfbioedu May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A1 CCC get the kids thinking like scientists so they can use DCI to solve problems with SEPs #NGSSchat

misteraycock May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

I think that CCCs are student-friendly access points that reveal BIG recurring themes throughout their learning #NGSSchat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1—Sometimes CCCs are conceptual focus for intellectual SEP work with DCIs (e.g., systems thinking abt model of climate change) #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:16 PM EDT

@dtcampbe Thanks for joining us Todd! #NGSSchat @UConn @Mr_ArndtEOS @MrsPotterNelson @tjscience

@Miss_Orear @jhubb546 Bummed I missed #hsNGSSchat computer problems have me stranded from tweet deck! #ngsschat

auntjennoelle May 19 @ 9:16 PM EDT

A1: CCCs are the thinking skills Ss need to connect the other 2 dimensions- very much like Depth &Complexity/ DOK #NGSSchat

DougHodum May 19 @ 9:16 PM EDT

.@FredEnde Maybe like spiraled curricula, depending on how we use it & lay things out. Ss need to see things more than once #ngsschat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:16 PM EDT

Question 1 here-- join us on #NGSSchat happening now! https://t.co/I8YJa5W3lB

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:12 PM EDT

Q1 How do you see the cross cutting concepts being the necessary linking between DCIs and SEPs? #NGSSchat

ksteves61811 May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: CCCs are the bridges for student understanding in an authentic way. Allows multiple subjects to be connected as well. #NGSSchat

perezhasclass May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: CCC help make relevant connects to the DCIs. Without the CCC Ss miss the reality of science in the real world. #ngsschat

BMSscienceteach May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1) It helps kids to see that no matter the content, there will be patterns that happen, energy that flows, systems to define #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@tdsull0518 Thanks for your support Taylor! #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@ELKissner @FredEnde I'll put that on my summer to do list #ngsschat

Ted_NSTA May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

A1: I don't think CCC link Practices and DCIs, They are an equal dimension in their own right. #NGSSchat

dtcampbe May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

CCC's Dependeable thinking tools 4 sensemaking #ngsschat https://t.co/ZX2H1Z5yLx

misteraycock May 19 @ 9:15 PM EDT

I think that CCCs are student-friendly access points that reveal BIG recurring themes throughout their learning #NGSSchat

ejkaretny May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

CCC also help develop interdisciplinary lessons #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@DougHodum Love that about the CCC's I have heard that lens from Ss as well which is really powerful #NGSSchat

emmytbots May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1 Another way to put it- the CCCs can help us deepen our understanding/make sense of the DCIs. #ngsschat

ksteves61811 May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

CCCs are the themes Ss can reconnect new learning with grade after grade #NGSSchat

Teaching24_7 May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@emmytbots Yeah! Thanks for the shout out! Glad to be here for my first time! #NGSSchat

krademaker May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

CCC are the pieces that make the DCIs worth figuring out by using the SEPs, they are nec for true understanding #ngsschat

BKd204Sci May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

Great response! So agree #ngsschat https://t.co/uZU2073S99

kmgill135 May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1: CCCs provide a way to explain data and evidence. #ngsschat

K12Nest May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@perezhasclass Well put! It's the DCIs where the CCC "rubber" meets the road. #ngsschat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A1—Sometimes CCCs are a part of STEM expertise involved w/ making sense of phenomena via an SEP focused on a DCI (e.g., patterns) #NGSSchat

DougHodum May 19 @ 9:18 PM EDT

.@Ted_NSTA Yes, but don't you see them as a pivotal piece that can bridge disciplines and such. Still critical #NGSSchat

gablejen May 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@BKd204Sci @BMSscienceteach we have nearly a month of school. Get some sleep for me #ngsschat

DougHodum May 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

.@TdiShelton All the more reason for me to develop this pedagogy! #NGSSchat

jaclyn_austin May 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: We discussed w/ @jmctigue how CCC's be infused in understandings as part of UbD course design work #NGSSchat https://t.co/VIzhx4hIT7

HollyMcGoran May 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A1: CCC = ways for our Ss to show their greater depth of knowledge as it relates to the SEP & DCI #NGSSchat

LPugh3 May 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@Ted_NSTA Can you say more? #NGSSchat

Teaching24_7 May 19 @ 9:19 PM EDT

Hi everyone! Karen from MI. This is a first chat for me tonight! Glad to be hear to learn how this works on such a great topic! #NGSSchat

emmytbots May 19 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@wolfbioedu Oooooohh! Another interesting way to think about it. Would you say this is more of an engineering approach? #ngsschat

jhubb546 May 19 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Without CCC there is no link. It's the glue that holds it together. Allows all Science disciplines to be called Science Class #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@misteraycock Love the lens of CCC's as the access points-- scaffolding the CCC's is a path to equity through empowered thinkers #NGSSchat

TrevorTutors May 19 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A1 I am new to the standards, but I like how everyone is referencing "patterns" and "structure" with respect to the CCCs #NGSSchat

Ted_NSTA May 19 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@DougHodum My point is that they are useful in their own right, not just to support DCIs and practices #NGSSchat

DougHodum May 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

.@Teaching24_7 Welcome, Karen. Great Twitter chat to start with! #NGSSchat

LPugh3 May 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@Teaching24_7 Hi! #NGSSchat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A1—Cause & effect is the underlying focus of SEPs of explanation and modeling; it is the goal / foundation of #science #NGSSchat

jhubb546 May 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@Ted_NSTA maybe we should view them as points on a triangle. They all interact with each other. If 1 is eliminated it's not NGSS #ngsschat

WisDPIscience May 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

CCCs provide a consistent lens across and within years and across disciplines, helps it all make sense as a whole #NGSSchat

wolfbioedu May 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@emmytbots SEPs is one of the biggest reasons to study science! This world has problems that need science engineers to solve! #NGSSchat

DougHodum May 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

.@Ted_NSTA Absolutely they are. I just think they are ideas & themes that will allow students to relate across disciplines. #NGSSchat

MrsPotterNelson May 19 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@jhubb546 This is so important. Science is science! #NGSSchat

K12Nest May 19 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@TrevorTutors That's the beauty and nuance of NGSS. Understanding it is the a-ha moment of first "grocking" a periodic table. #ngsschat

jaclyn_austin May 19 @ 9:23 PM EDT

Lately I have been trying to include CCC as part of my driving questioning so that Ss more likely to use in their reasoning #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@Ted_NSTA Can you give an example of defining a system-- what criteria do you use #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:48 PM EDT

@MrsPotterNelson What about systems makes it easier? #NGSSchat

emmytbots May 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@perezhasclass Yes-great resource! But there's no perf expectation for it at this level- seems to be just vocab & exposure to me #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4: CCCs help give students heuristics that help them reason with new info #NGSSchat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4—Some youth are socialized into systems thinking view of how components relate. It is an indigenous practice & fund of knowledge #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@philiplbell Is the "wrong" important? #NGSSchat

bpenuel May 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4: Systems are key to understanding complex phenomena, require grasp of modeling tools to investigate #NGSSchat

MrsPotterNelson May 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@FredEnde I think of the "square cow" in physics; limits the variables that you are looking at in your explanation #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

Q5. here it comes. . . #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A4: Sometimes if we get too far into the nitty-gritty...we miss the big picture #NGSSchat

MrsPotterNelson May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@Mr_ArndtEOS Yes! #NGSSchat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@FredEnde Yes—students need to understand that ALL models have limitations. That is an important feature of the #NGSS practice. #NGSSchat

misteraycock May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A4-understanding the parts of a system helps us to see how systems can be reliant on every piece-enormous understanding K-12! #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

Q5. How are you using systems and system models in your teaching and leading? #NGSSchat

richbacolor May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

@FredEnde It actually did snow SNOW earlier this week. #lovemichigan #NGSSchat

bpenuel May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A4 Power of uncertainty in science: What's the boundary of a system? Usually a challenge to define, defend. Generates S ?s #NGSSchat

dtcampbe May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

If Ss (or we) don't know where to start, draw on CCC(s) in 'shopping 4 ideas' #NGSSchat https://t.co/s2n57Rq0YP

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A4: CCCs help give students heuristics that help them reason with new info #NGSSchat

krademaker May 19 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A4-CCC not only help build a better expl to a DCI but also explain how diff systems are dependent on each other CCC #NGSSchat

WisDPIscience May 19 @ 9:51 PM EDT

Agreeing w/ @MrsPotterNelson, the real-world is complex, defining a system actually allows for building initial understanding #ngsschat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@MrsPotterNelson Similar to the KISS theory or Occam's Razor? #NGSSchat

bpenuel May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A5 We engage students in attempting to define boundaries of ecosystem, using @netlogo to investigate ecosystems dynamics #NGSSchat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Hi @richbacolor! I hope all is well. Still in plank position there in MI? #NGSSchat

MrsPotterNelson May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@FredEnde Yep. Remove unnecessary variables. Air resistance exists, not important in many calcs at HS level #NGSSchat

dtcampbe May 19 @ 9:52 PM EDT

Gotta run-take care #NGSSChat tweeps! All the best.

jaclyn_austin May 19 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Great example and a great tool for exploring the system interactions #NGSSchat https://t.co/1x5SEmBn6C

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:53 PM EDT

@philiplbell Thinking about this. . . wondering how to show learners that this "wrong" is actually good, and not to be afraid of. #NGSSchat

KRScienceLady May 19 @ 9:53 PM EDT

I use myself as example that human body is made of diff systems and what happens with one component or system affects the others. #NGSSchat

wolfbioedu May 19 @ 9:53 PM EDT

Thanks for the great #NGSSchat. Time for school work...

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:53 PM EDT

We used CCC System and system models to understand LS2 at different scales #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A5: Integration of multiple body systems--like why do patients w/diabetes frequently urinate? #NGSSchat

Ted_NSTA May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@TdiShelton For example, with conservation matter, you have to keep track of what enters or leaves the system. #ngsschat

KRScienceLady May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

I am one strange system 😊 #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@wolfbioedu Thanks for joining us! #NGSSchat

emmytbots May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@perezhasclass We do this a lot in math throughout k-2, so it's certainly being addressed! #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Yes. The inter-relations of systems is huge. A system, isn't in itself, an isolated event! #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@wolfbioedu Thanks for being with us, Chris! #NGSSchat

MrsPotterNelson May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@FredEnde Original reference was wrong...spherical cow, not square cow. https://t.co/XDPUjl7Cwr #ngsschat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

@FredEnde We had pandemic modeling project where Ss hit same limitations as scientists—helped them see they were doing science! #NGSSchat

K12Nest May 19 @ 9:54 PM EDT

Thank you so, so much for a great #NGSSchat tonight. Great to see so many interesting perspectives. Thank you all!!

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:55 PM EDT

@dtcampbe Thanks for joining us! #NGSSchat

WisDPIscience May 19 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5: As science ed leaders, if we want to change the "system", we have to figure out what we mean by system... :) #ngsschat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:55 PM EDT

Final Q--Q6 What advice would you give to educators to start embedding CCCs, these in particular? #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:55 PM EDT

A5: Offering tasks with engr solutions that require consideration of entire systems, not just individual parts #NGSSchat

jaclyn_austin May 19 @ 9:56 PM EDT

A6: Think about how the CCC could be part of the Essential Question students seek to answer #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@WisDPIscience Very true. It would be interesting to see what that word means to many. . . #NGSSchat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@TrevorTutors @FredEnde Depends—A model w/ limitations of not including variable X is limitation&leads to less than perfect output #NGSSchat

Ted_NSTA May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6: Personally, my favorite tactic is to Co-facilitate a workshop with @TdiShelton -- She loves CCCs. #NGSSchat

A6: Opportunities to expose students to these themes probably already exist, but need to be taken adv of continuously #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6 Support Ss use of CCCs with questioning and sentence stems #NGSSchat

bpenuel May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

A6 Integrate! Keep tied into disciplinary practices, as the CCCs (despite being what unify science) apply differently across DCIs #NGSSchat

FredEnde - Moderator May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@philiplbell @TrevorTutors Is there value in those imperfect outputs? #NGSSchat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:57 PM EDT

@TrevorTutors @FredEnde But there are other ways to be "wrong" in modeling for sure—e.g., wrong components &relationships #NGSSchat

gablejen May 19 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@TdiShelton to not to exclude them! after NSTA I realize what I had been missing from my lessons. #tryingtofigureitout #NGSSchat

TdiShelton - Moderator May 19 @ 9:58 PM EDT

@Ted_NSTA Yes I do! Yes I do! empowered students :) #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6: Explicitly point these themes out to students. #NGSSchat

WisDPIscience May 19 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6 - easy first step is just to turn CCCs into guiding questions for current investigations/labs being done #ngsschat

HollyMcGoran May 19 @ 9:58 PM EDT

A6: give yourself & your Ss visual reminders of the CCCs once introduced; post near your classroom question board #NGSSchat

Mr_ArndtEOS May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Good night all! #NGSSchat

BKd204Sci May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@TdiShelton A6 Dont feel you have to use multipe CCCs with everything Start w/ one or two Don't rush the process #ngsschat

MsCZen May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@cheer4tech We need to introduce Jeff to Twitter and this #NGSSchat https://t.co/jvyvFO59GW

mrkevinparr May 19 @ 9:38 PM EDT

Trying to follow #NGSSchat & learn. The acronyms make me feel like I'm reading in a foreign language. Time to delve in. #NGSSchatfordummies?

bpenuel May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@WisDPIscience Or recurring questions across investigations of related phenomena? #NGSSchat

philiplbell May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

@FredEnde @TrevorTutors Yes—my sense is that scientists go with what they can model at a given time & try to improve over time #NGSSchat

perezhasclass May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

A6: Build a PLN here to ask for help, read Appendix G, plan explicit instruction, and BE KIND to yourself as you learn. #NGSSchat

KRScienceLady May 19 @ 9:59 PM EDT

Yes! Yes! Yes! #ngsschat https://t.co/OqHnoBDIBq
