NGSS
Next Generation Science Standards
Embedded Files
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are a framework for K–12 science education that emphasize learning science by doing science, rather than memorizing facts. Central to NGSS is three-dimensional learning, which integrates Science and Engineering Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Disciplinary Core Ideas so students use core content to explain phenomena and solve problems. This integrated approach promotes coherent, deep understanding, reflects authentic scientific work, and helps students develop the knowledge and skills needed to think and act like scientists and engineers.
The Next Generation Science Standards was developed by a consortium of states and other organizations in the United States, including the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve, Inc. The NGSS standards provide a framework for teaching science that is more focused on scientific practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas, and is designed to help students develop a deeper understanding of science concepts and better prepare them for college and careers in science-related fields.
