Continue readingThe Next Generation Science Standards, describing what students should know about science and the process of science before high school graduation, are available online. Next Generation Science Standards puts the complete list of standards and supporting documents on a mobile device in an easily browsable and searchable format. Search standards by DCI (Disciplinary Core Idea) Arrangement (content) by grade level, by Topic, by Conceptual Progression (for middle school or high school courses), or by Domains Model (physical science, life science, earth and space science, biology, chemistry, or physics). Additional resources include the front matter of the publication introducing the NGSS project, the structure of the standards (which explains how to read and understand them), a link to the framework that preceded the development of the standards, the appendices for the standards, and National Science Teacher Association resources.
Twenty-six states have adopted the Next Generation Science Standards for K-12 since April 2013. The Next Generation Science Standards app contains the full list of standards as well as supporting documentation to make understanding and implementing the standards easier for teachers. The NGSS were developed by the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve, and include three dimensions: disciplinary core ideas (content); scientific and engineering practices; and cross-cutting concepts, which help students connect ideas across disciplines and to prior learning.
