The Next Generation Science Standards

The Next Generation Science Standards are now available. Twenty-six states and their broad-based teams worked together with a 41-member writing team and partners throughout the country to develop the standards.

Video: Why NGSS? [15]

There are three ways to view the standards:

Arranged by Disciplinary Core Idea (DCI) [16]

Arranged by Topics [17]

Search individual performance expectations [18]

The NGSS are composed of the three dimensions [19] from the NRC Framework [20]. Click on the links to the left and see the videos below to learn more about the standards.
