... In considering phenomena, it is critical to recognize what is relevant at different measures CROSSCUTTING CONCEPTS IN THE of size, time, and energy and to recognize how changes in NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS scale, proportion, or quantity affect a system's structure or performance.

... Because the crosscutting concepts As crosscutting concepts are encountered repeatedly across acaaddress the fundamental aspects of nature, they also inform the demic disciplines, familiar vocabulary can enhance engagement way humans attempt to understand it. Different crosscutting and understanding for English language learners, students with concepts align with different practices, and when students carry language processing difficulties, and students with limited litout these practices, they are often addressing one of these cross- eracy development.

... Students might look at geographical patterns on a map, plot data values on a chart or graph, or visually inspect the appearance of an organ ism or mineral. The crosscutting concept of patterns is also strongly associated with the practice of "Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking." It is often the case that patterns Crosscutting Concepts in the Next Generation Science Standards 81

They then examine the cal system, interactions among the parts are describable in terms system in detail while treating the effects of things outside the of forces among them that cause changes in motion or physical boundary as either forces acting on the system or flows of matter stresses.

"In designing systems for stable operation, the mechanisms of external controls and internal ‘feedback' loops are important Although each of the seven crosscutting concepts can be used design elements; feedback is important to understanding natural to help students recognize deep connections between seemingly systems as well.

... Later, the development of a theory allows for predictions of new patterns, which then provides evidence in support of the theory.
