What is a Storyline?

The NGSS provides an innovative way of students working through the material in meaningful ways.  This creates a more active student-centered learning environment instead of the traditional teacher-centered classroom.  NGSS promotes using the science and engineering practices to explain real world phenomena and problems.  Each step of the way, students figure out a piece of the puzzle around a phenomenon and each question leads to another question, guiding them to each step in a coherent storyline unit. 

Storylines are how NGSS was meant to be implemented, providing a clear path for students to build understanding of the core ideas, crosscutting concepts and student-generated questions.
