Is Liquified Natural Gas needed in the Port of Tacoma? This task, by ClimeTime educators, is designed for students in grades 9-12 studying chemistry or environmental science. Students discuss their daily relationship to methane energy systems and marine-land environments, then they develop their abilities to compare and write arguments for managing the community’s energy needs. Resource includes a student task document, teacher guide, and task facilitation slides.

Follow the Resource Link to read about “Our School District” (non-fictional), a small district that wanted to adopt NGSS-designed Science materials.
I was contacted in Spring 2018 to consult with Our School District. The district’s Science Specialist and I were both members of a regional science leadership network (LASER), and so we had previously shared with each other a number of science education interests, experiences, and problems-of-practice.
Vignette Presentation: two representations
The vignette's Outline Representation is a breakdown of how this PD program was engineered to provide an NGSS-designed science program and also transform several characteristics of Our School District’s science systems.
The vignette's Website Representation, Small SD Science PD, presents a chronological and organizational view of this vignette.
A few nuggets from this vignette:
bit.ly/OurSDSciCurrPrinc The "Our SD Science Curriculum Principles" were co-developed with teachers to provide long/short-term guidance in developing science programs and systems.
bit.ly/OurSDsciencePD The website platform supports science program continuity by archiving PD events, tools, and resources, making it easy to stay connected to where they’ve been, what they’re using, where they’re going.
