The <em>Core Ideas<\/em> series of courses described below focus on the disciplinary core ideas from the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Rich in practical examples, curricula, and phenomena, they are designed to be refresher courses on the content relevant for K-12 science teachers. Each week you will explore a new DCI through examining new science in that area, searching out relevant phenomena to use in your classroom, evaluating existing curricular resources, and looking at possible engineering connections to the DCI.\u00a0Enrollment for summer courses begins in March.
