Two examples are included in the video and two additional examples are included in the linked thinking slides. TERMS Cause - a thing that gives rise to an event Change - to become different Effect - an event Explanation - a logical reason for a phenomenon Stability - to become unlikely to change This progression is based on the Crosscutting Concept elements from the NRC document A Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Much of science deals with constructing explanations of how things change and how they remain stable.” Source: https://www.nextgenscience.org/
