Next Generation Science Standards Open for Public Comment

Peer review is of the utmost importance in scientific research and provides a measure of integrity to any new idea. This is true whether you study astrophysics or zeolites. To that point, the most recent draft of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) is available for public peer comment at http://www.nexgenscience.org. The NGSS are based on the Framework for K-12 Science Education, a conceptual plan authored by the National Research Council of the National Academies.

There are six relevant conceptual shifts outlined in the NGSS. They are:

• K-12 science education should reflect real world interconnections;
• Cross-cutting concepts should be integrated with multiple core concepts throughout the year;
• Science concepts should build coherent K-12 curricula;
• The NGSS should focus on depth, not breadth, of subjects covered;
• Science and engineering concepts must be integrated in science education for K-12 students; and
• Science standards should coordinate with other common core subjects.

The period for public comment will last until June 1st. At that time, updates to the draft will be made and there will be a chance for further public comment. Make sure that your voice is heard in how science is taught in the future by commenting during each phase of the NGSS.

    Pensive it mentioned below the little serving as an example of my research result and see how our universe is!

    On reflection of big bang theory such as; “Beginning of the creation a part of the power of the nature became divisible as a result of the big bang”. In this way; as I see it that our Universe was born in a black hole i.e. the universe may have been created by an explosion within a black hole through that part of power of the nature, that is to say; universe come from in single black hole or big black hole through that below 50% power of the nature. Nature is only single name yet that means many instances such as; God, creator, single dimension, super power, dark energy, black body, big black hole, A black hole, huge reserve of the natural force, primordial whole and eternity present, absolute zero space-time and physics. & so on.

    On reflection of evolution theory or theory of everything such as; “Everything of the world of matter is the result of evolution” that is to say, everything at all always is changing in the universe. Without big bang theory and only by the evolution theory; as I see it, there is no God in the universe because always changing in the universe. That means her goal is out of the universe yet on reflection of modern big bang with evolution theory; seen existence of the God/creator is in everything at all, everything is the result by evolution/variable of her part such as in physics.

    On reflection of time dimension theory such as; “An individual respective very location is the present and the rest all locations are of the deep of the past”. According to this theory; since every respective very location of everybody is their very present and all/each or all in becoming aware of everybody is past concept that means nobody shall receive the present concept of each other or one another. On this plea; there has been no incidence of present and future at all at any site of space, all are submerged into their respective depths of the past. Such as; from our home planet, everything is past for us around the space and we all are in different locations of the past from any location of universe, that is to say; our home planet is present before us, likewise just at this time it is again submerged into the depth or the past from another place of space. According to this information; as I see it, everything at all in the universe is the result of central such as; own place is middle or center point, position of our home planet is center in the universe and big bang is omnivorous. For a wonder, that the case or history of the universe or series of events or space-time and physic is the result from one site only such as from own/your location i.e. just at this very moment nothing creation from the big black hole or from the dark energy through that imagery.

      Please revise your response, keeping it to no more than 150 words.

    Numbers are the Supreme Court of science. However Godel proved that we may not prove everything using numbers. Physics needs numbers. There must be Physics Foibles. Always more to prove.
