NGSS Crosscutting Concepts for the Middle School Classroom- Notes, PPT, & Quiz

The seven NGSS Crosscutting Concepts are an important part of making connections in science. This resource provides notes, a Power Point Presentation with a review, and a quiz. This is a great resource for the middle school science classroom.

I just added the Power Point Presentation to this resource and wanted to give a preview.
The doodle sketch notes are four pages. I only do about a page or two a day with the kids. It is better to do little chunks and have them really understand the concepts. Here is one of the doodle sketch note pages.
Doodle sketch notes are a great way to visually make connections with the material students are learning. They are concise and provide examples.

Here are some samples of the Power Point Presentation.




After the notes, there are three examples for each crosscutting concept.




After the notes on each concept, there is a review where students match examples to one or more crosscutting concept. This helps students apply what they are learning to real examples. Here is the link the to resource on TPT: Click HERE
