FOSS modules provide students with opportunities to engage in engineering experiences to develop solutions to problems, construct and evaluate models, and use systems thinking. The FOSS engineering icon, found in the sidebar of each FOSS Investigations Guide, indicates opportunities for addressing the core ideas of Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science as described in A Framework for K-12 Science Education. The core ideas are listed in the downloadable PDF with the grade K-2 and 3-5 grade band expectations from the framework and associated NGSS.
To use the correlation documents more effectively, we suggest that you download them to your computer. You will need Acrobat Reader to download and read these PDF files. Acrobat Reader is available as a free download from www.adobe.com.
