1 Grade 3 Welcome to science curriculum maps for Manhattan-Ogden USD 383, striving to produce learners who are: Effective Communicators who clearly express ideas and ively communicate with diverse audiences, Quality Producers who create intellectual, artistic and practical products which reflect high standards Complex Thinkers who identify, access, integrate, and use resources Collaborative Workers who use ive leadership and group skills to develop positive relationships within diverse settings. Community Contributors who use time, energies and talents to improve the welfare of others Self-Directed Learners who create a positive vision for their future, set priorities and assume responsibility for their actions. Click for more. Overview of Standards Adopted in 2013, the KCCRS Science Standards describe a vision of science and engineering proficiency. They represents three dimensions combined to form each standard: Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI) Disciplinary core ideas are grouped in four domains: 1) physical sciences; 2) life sciences; 3) earth and space sciences; and 4) engineering, technology and applications of science. Disciplinary core ideas focus on the most important aspects of science. Specifically DCIs: have broad importance across multiple sciences or engineering disciplines or be a key organizing concept; provide a key tool for understanding or investigating more complex ideas; relate to the interests and life experiences of students or be connected to societal or personal concerns that require scientific or technological knowledge; be teachable and learnable over multiple grades at increasing levels of sophistication. Crosscutting Concepts (CC) Crosscutting concepts apply across all domains, and they are a way of linking different domains. They include: 1) patterns, similarity, and diversity; 2) cause and ; 3) scale, proportion and quantity; 4) systems and system models; 5) energy and matter; 6) structure and function; 7) stability and change. Science and Engineering Practices (SEP) The eight practices describe behaviors that scientists engage in to investigate theories and the key set of engineering practices used to design and build models and systems. The intent is to better explain and extend what is meant by inquiry and the range of cognitive, social and physical practices. (Source) The Full Option Science System (FOSS) Next Generation program, adopted by USD 383 in 2016 for grades K-5, is aligned to the KCCRS science standards. FOSS engages students through active learning with three modules at each grade level. FOSS provides Performance Expectations] (PE) and Focus Questions (FQ). The resources reflect learning progressions to develop strong scientific habits of mind and expose the nature of science and engineering to our students. FOSS also strongly integrates the KCCRS for ELA and Math. 1
