I have been struggling to rework my lessons to meet the NGSS framework. It's so easy to just stand up in front of the students and lecture, but I know that is not the best way for students to learn. I am one who need example lessons so I can model my redesigns around them. That is why I like exemplars like this. I can see how it should be done so I know what to do when I am making my own updates.
This lesson is actually part of a 29 lesson unit so there are lots of examples to look at. Looking at them, they are very detailed (I mean down to the minute). If you are like me you don't have to make this level of detailed lesson plans. Despite this, it is something that I want to work on, little by little, and I like have examples like this to look at. Also, I can test these lessons out with my students and find out what works and what doesn't so I can make changes.
I would love to hear what you are doing to transition your lessons to NGSS (or your state's version of it).
