Robustness (usability and dependability of all components).Alignment of Learning Goals, Activities, and Assessments.The five categories included in the peer review process are Resources in this top level collection a) must have scored Exemplary or Very Good in all five review categories, and must also rate as “Exemplary” in at least three of the five categories. This activity was selected for the On the Cutting Edge Exemplary Teaching Collection review by external experts for accuracy of the science content.multiple reviews to ensure the materials meet the InTeGrate materials rubric which codifies best practices in curricular development, student assessment and pedagogic techniques.real in-class testing of materials in at least 3 institutions with external review of student assessment data.multiple iterative reviews and feedback cycles through the course of material development with input to the authoring team from both project editors and an external assessment team.team-based development to ensure materials are appropriate across multiple educational settings.This rigorous, structured process includes: This material was developed and reviewed through the InTeGrate curricular materials development process. Stability and Change: Feedback (negative or positive) can stabilize or destabilize a system. Stability and Change: Much of science deals with constructing explanations of how things change and how they remain stable. Stability and Change: Systems can be designed for greater or lesser stability. Systems and System Models: Models (e.g., physical, mathematical, computer models) can be used to simulate systems and interactions-including energy, matter, and information flows-within and between systems at different scales. Systems and System Models: Systems can be designed to do specific tasks. Systems and System Models: When investigating or describing a system, the boundaries and initial conditions of the system need to be defined and their inputs and outputs analyzed and described using models. Systems and System Models: Models can be used to represent systems and their interactions-such as inputs, processes and outputs-and energy, matter, and information flows within systems. MS-P2.5:ĭeveloping and Using Models: Develop, revise, and/or use a model based on evidence to illustrate and/or predict the relationships between systems or between components of a system HS-P2.3: Cross Cutting Concepts OverviewThis focuses on a simple conceptual model to introduce the tools of systems thinking, uses a real-world example of a complex societal problem for practice, and offers easily adapted alternatives.ĭeveloping and Using Models: Develop and/or use a model to predict and/or describe phenomena. Reviewed for their alignment with the Next Generation Science Standards as detailed below.
