and therefore mass, are conserved in a chemical reaction. [Clarification Statement: Models can include physical models and drawings that represent atoms rather than symbols. The focus is on law of conservation of matter.] [Assessment Boundary: The use of atomic masses is not required. Balancing symbolic equations (e.g. N2 + H2 -> NH3) is not required.]

Reflection
• What are some examples of patterns you use in your teaching?
• What are other types of patterns you can think of?
• What questions do you have about patterns in science?
How do you use patterns?
A. My students are used to looking for patterns in data or experiences.
B. My students understand how patterns function in science.
C. My students are used to sharing their ideas about patterns in science.
D. Patterns are often invisible to my students.
Why do we want students to learn about patterns in science?
• To develop an understanding of the nature of science and the development of scientific explanations, models, and theories.
• To engage in scientific practices, including inquiry and application (Scientists’ Science).
• To understand and be able to use scientific explanations, models, and theories.
• (Aesthetic appreciation of science.)
Patterns in the NGSS
• Patterns are incorporated with scientific practices and disciplinary core content.
• Pattern concepts for a grade band are represented across disciplinary strands.
• There is a progression of ideas about patterns across grade bands.
Pattern Concept
Middle SchoolPatterns in rates of change and other numerical relationships can provide information about natural and human designed systems.
Physical ScienceDevelop molecular‐level models of a variety of substances, comparing those with simple molecules to those with extended structures. (MS‐PS1‐a)

Life Science ScienceConstruct explanations for common patterns of interactions within different ecosystems. (MS‐LS2‐d).

Earth ScienceAnalyze maps or other graphical displays of data sets to assess the likelihood and possible location of future severe weather events. (MS‐ESS3‐h)
Progression Across Grade Bands
Grades K‐2 Grades 3‐5 Grades 6‐8 Grades 9‐12
• Pattern recognition
• Classification• Rates of change
• Microscopic& atomic scales
• Identifying cause and effect relationships
• Using graphs and charts
• Observe and recognizepatterns at different scales
• Recognize differences in classification across scales
Reflection
• What is new here that you might not have thought much about before?
• How does the patterns crosscutting concept help you think about content cutting across disciplines (school topics) and grade levels?
• What questions do you have?
What does traditional school science look like?
•Emphasis on explanations
•Experiences provided to confirm or prove explanations
•Few experiences for each explanation
•Patterns are hidden
Experiences

Traditional School Science
What does scientists’ science look like in instruction?
• Provide many experiences; preferably before explanations
• Make patterns visible• Show connections between patterns and explanations
• Incorporate practices to make patterns explicit
• Analyze data for patterns• Construct explanations to account for patterns
• Engage in arguments about patterns

3. Wolf population crashed after 1985 while moose populations increased.
Wolf and moose had a typical predator‐prey relationship until parvo virus was introduced to Isle Royale by people around 1985. The parasite killed many wolves (parasitism). Without predators, the moose population increased.

Summary of Main Points
• Patterns support the development of scientific explanations, theories, and models.
• To support students in understanding core concepts, patterns need to be visible and explicit.
• To engage students in scientists’ science, we need to engage students in using patterns as part of the scientific practices.
• Crosscutting concepts about patterns are built across grade bands and disciplinary core content.
Reflections
• In what ways might you use an EPE table to help you think about teaching the patterns crosscutting concept?
• How has thinking about patterns and the patterns crosscutting concept helped you think about your own teaching?
• What questions do you have?
