The ready-to-use lessons are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the disciplinary core ideas as identified in the Framework for K-12 Science Education (NRC, 2012). The big ideas of science are consistent – it is how we teach this content that makes a significant difference in student learning and retention of important science concepts. Lessons are inquiry-based and designed using the 5E Instructional Model from the Biological Science Curriculum Study (BSCS) led by Principal Investigator Roger Bybee, which works well with STEM lesson design, but is not the only model that works since constructivism through any model is synonymous with good teaching. Even with the release of the NGSS, recognizing the similarity between STEM initiatives all too common to most of us and the performance expectations in the NGSS, classroom application of science/engineering practices integrated with science content and phenomenon through the STEM process remains elusive. The lessons in this book provide one way to implement STEM as a process, not just an elusive thing.
