CONTENTS

There is a poster for every standard in the middle school NGSS. The posters are organized according to these Disciplinary Core Ideas

  • MS-PS1 Matter and its Interactions
  • MS-PS2 Motion and Stability: Forces and Interactions
  • MS-PS3 Energy
  • MS-PS4 Waves and their Applications in Technologies for Information Transfer
  • MS-LS1 From Molecules to Organisms: Structures and Processes
  • MS-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics
  • MS-LS3 Heredity: Inheritance and Variation of Traits
  • MS-LS4 Biological Evolution: Unity and Diversity
  • MS-ESS1 Earth's Place in the Universe
  • MS-ESS2 Earth's Systems
  • MS-ESS3 Earth and Human Activity
  • MS-ETS1 Engineering Design

DESCRIPTION

These middle school science standards posters "unpack" the NGSS standards and grab the attention of your students. On some, the illustration is very detailed to provide a visual for every aspect of the standard. On others, the illustration captures the spirit of the standard and piques students' curiosity. Some of the illustrations have an illustrative style while others are realistic and scientific. There are maps, charts, and diagrams from governmental science institutions like NASA, the National Climatic Data Center, and the U.S. Geological Survey (all used with permission).

Each statement begins with "I can...". The language of the standard has been simplified when possible. If you wish to simplify it further, editable versions are included.

Everything in this bundle can be printed on letter size (8.5" x 11") paper. No complicated cutting is required. To save paper, there are two posters on each page. You just have to cut one time down the middle of the page to separate the posters.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-LS1-5
Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence for how environmental and genetic factors influence the growth of organisms. Examples of local environmental conditions could include availability of food, light, space, and water. Examples of genetic factors could include large breed cattle and species of grass affecting growth of organisms. Examples of evidence could include drought decreasing plant growth, fertilizer increasing plant growth, different varieties of plant seeds growing at different rates in different conditions, and fish growing larger in large ponds than they do in small ponds. Assessment does not include genetic mechanisms, gene regulation, or biochemical processes.
NGSSMS-ESS1-4
Construct a scientific explanation based on evidence from rock strata for how the geologic time scale is used to organize Earth’s 4.6-billion-year-old history. Emphasis is on how analyses of rock formations and the fossils they contain are used to establish relative ages of major events in Earth’s history. Examples of Earth’s major events could range from being very recent (such as the last Ice Age or the earliest fossils of homo sapiens) to very old (such as the formation of Earth or the earliest evidence of life). Examples can include the formation of mountain chains and ocean basins, the evolution or extinction of particular living organisms, or significant volcanic eruptions. Assessment does not include recalling the names of specific periods or epochs and events within them.
NGSSMS-ESS2-3
Analyze and interpret data on the distribution of fossils and rocks, continental shapes, and seafloor structures to provide evidence of the past plate motions. Examples of data include similarities of rock and fossil types on different continents, the shapes of the continents (including continental shelves), and the locations of ocean structures (such as ridges, fracture zones, and trenches). Paleomagnetic anomalies in oceanic and continental crust are not assessed.
NGSSMS-LS1-7
Develop a model to describe how food is rearranged through chemical reactions forming new molecules that support growth and/or release energy as this matter moves through an organism. Emphasis is on describing that molecules are broken apart and put back together and that in this process, energy is released. Assessment does not include details of the chemical reactions for photosynthesis or respiration.
NGSSMS-ESS3-2
Analyze and interpret data on natural hazards to forecast future catastrophic events and inform the development of technologies to mitigate their effects. Emphasis is on how some natural hazards, such as volcanic eruptions and severe weather, are preceded by phenomena that allow for reliable predictions, but others, such as earthquakes, occur suddenly and with no notice, and thus are not yet predictable. Examples of natural hazards can be taken from interior processes (such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions), surface processes (such as mass wasting and tsunamis), or severe weather events (such as hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods). Examples of data can include the locations, magnitudes, and frequencies of the natural hazards. Examples of technologies can be global (such as satellite systems to monitor hurricanes or forest fires) or local (such as building basements in tornado-prone regions or reservoirs to mitigate droughts).
