Create Beautiful DesignsSection #2: National and Utah Science Education Standards
In class we are continuing to explore and discuss how science standards were developed at both the national and state levels. Here you can access and explore both national and state standards in the following task. It is important to know how to access these standards and educational resources for the state you want to teach in. Please complete the following task below for our in class discussions during Module 1. Task: Explore the following websites for the grades and topics you would like to explore with your students this term. Select a topic and begin to identify and integrate (STEM)2 elements into your lesson plans and the team activities you are developing for your diverse students (note: this is just a start, we will be working on this in depth in the coming weeks). We are starting in Module 2 but will continue with this task through rest of this course. The links for NGSS and SEEd are below. You will have to find science standards for other states/territories on your own. Website: Next Generation Science Standards (Links to an external site.) Website: Utah Science Engineering Education Standards (Links to an external site.) (Links to an external site.) National Science Teaching Association: National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) (Links to an external site.). Be sure to bookmark these websites on your computer if you have not done so already. We will be exploring both in depth this term and the UEN SEEd site has many excellent STEM resources and activities for K-12 students. (Links to an external site.)
