Understanding the Scientific Enterprise: The Nature of Science in the NGSS
Description
This chapter presents perspectives, a rationale, and research supporting an emphasis on the nature of science in the context of the NGSS. In addition, eight understandings with appropriate grade level outcomes are included as extensions of the science and engineering practices and crosscutting concepts, not as a fourth dimension of standards.
