REFLECTION
Within your collaborative group, locate three separate science lesson plans from different grade levels that are aligned to the same discipline and core idea across the NGSS. In a 500-750-word discussion: deconstruct the lesson plans and describe the components within the lesson plans that reflect how the students are actually engaging in science practices. Use the ASPA subheadings below to evaluate the lessons.
Asking questions (for science) and defining problems (for engineering)
Developing and using models
Planning and carrying out investigations
Analyzing and interpreting data
Using mathematics and computational thinking
Constructing explanations (for science) and designing solutions (for engineering)
Engaging in arguments from evidence
Obtaining, evaluating, and communicating information.
