NCSTA 2024

With the integration of NGSS, students take ownership of their learning by sharing ideas to apply NGSS and crosscutting concepts needed to explain how or why the phenomenon occurs. Utilizing concept maps, students can collaborate and construct meaningful claims, evidence and reasoning to connect what they have learned. In this session, participants will learn different methods and strategies to apply to concept maps to increase student engagement and understanding. We also create sample concept maps at different intervals as students anchor phenomena.
