The first public draft of the Next Generation Science Standards is available from May 11 to June 1. We welcome and appreciate your feedback. 

The NGSS have been written as student performance expectations grouped by topics, and can be viewed in the topical groupings or individually. The draft performance expectations are composed of the three dimensions from the NRC Framework. These draft performance expectations describe how students will demonstrate their understanding. Click on the links to the left to learn more about the standards, and choose one of the buttons below to explore and provide comments on the standards.

Feedback collected during the comment period will be organized and shared with the leading states and writing team members.  After the feedback is considered, a feedback report will be issued that will explain how feedback was handled and why.
