In this course, middle school teachers will investigate the disciplinary core idea of ETS: Engineering Design through the Performance Expectation MS-ETS1-2. Evaluate competing design solutions using a systematic process to determine how well they meet the criteria and constraints of the problem. [Assessment Boundary: None Indicated.]
Several conceptual shifts are present in these new standards, one of which is the idea that science concepts build coherently from K-12. The use of well-designed learning progressions provides a map that allows students, by the time they finish high school, to master core ideas within science.
