Next Generation Science Standards

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are a set of educational guidelines aimed at improving science teaching and learning in the United States. They emphasize a more integrated approach, combining core scientific concepts with hands-on practice and real-world applications. NGSS encourages critical thinking, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, focusing on topics like life sciences, physical sciences, earth and space sciences, and engineering. By aligning science education with current scientific understanding and practices, the NGSS prepares students to be better equipped for future challenges in a rapidly changing world.
