Register. Conceptual Framework for New Science Education Standards. Was released by the National Research Council (NRC) in July 2011.
The framework identifies the key scientific ideas and practices all students should learn by the end of high school. It will serve as the foundation for new K-12 science education standards, which will be developed by a group of states to replace standards issued more than a decade ago. Science in Focus: Force and Motion. Explore science concepts in force and motion and come away with a deeper understanding that will help you engage your students in their own explorations.
With science and education experts as your guides, learn more about gravity, friction, air resistance, magnetism, and tension through activities, discussions, and demonstrations. Extensive footage shot in real classrooms shows students learning and building on ideas as they explore the relationships among motion, force, size, mass, and speed.
