Abstract

The new Indiana Science and Computer Science Standards (IDOE, 2022) have created a lot of questions among teachers about what “three-dimensional” teaching is, and how to implement the new standards. The 2022 standards are very closely aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013), with standards presented using the same terminology focusing on phenomena, Practices, Disciplinary Core Ideas and Crosscutting Concepts. While this may feel new, the NGSS was published in 2013, and some features of the national standards were incorporated in the 2016 standards. In this article, the author draws from previous experience writing science learning materials
