Social Justice in the Science Classroom is a compilation of 19 articles from NSTA journals, illustrating successful incorporation of socially-just teaching practices in the science classroom. This volume brings issues, strategies, and methods of addressing social justice to the forefront, from kindergarten through college, in public, private, charter, informal science settings, or other school environments.

NGSS Science and Language Shifts in a Diverse Fourth-Grade Classroom
Science and Children—September 2018
By Alison Haas, Jennifer Whitten, and Carol Biskupic Knight
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) offer rich opportunities for both science and language learning. This article presents science and language instructional shifts, grounded in the NGSS and contemporary thinking in second language acquisition. First, we describe three science instructional shifts: phenomena or design solutions to problems, three-dimensional learning, and coherence of student understanding. Then, we describe three language instructional shifts: language use for purposeful communication, meaningful participation of ELs with less-than-perfect English, and use of a range of registers and modalities. Finally, using a vignette from our NGSS-aligned fourth-grade science classroom, we illustrate how these science and language instructional shifts support each other for ELs. The vignette is accompanied by a video that can be accessed online.
