In April 2013, Achieve, in partnership with The Lead States, released the Next Generation Science Standards. These standards and The Framework, from which they were constructed, provided a new vision for science education across the country. Back in my day (when the NGSS was first adopted in Kentucky in 2013), we weren't used to seeing performance expectations (PE). I remember debates around what constituted a standard. Was it just the PE or the entire page. Were the foundation boxes included? What about the appendices? Which parts of the NGSS had been codified into law in Kentucky? I'm not sure why we were concerned about this other than the potential impact on assessment (which was and is a big deal in education). MS-LS1-1 Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism.
