NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS

NGSS was created through a collaborative effort to create science standards where students learn science by doing science. This work was lead and coordinated by
´¡³¦³ó¾±±ð±¹±ð​ and involving 26 states, the
National Science Teachers Association to develop the NGSS based on the NRC's
K-12 Framework for Science Education​

​Resources: 5 Random Resources for Rigor & Relevance
- Environmental Education ties in nicely with NGSS. To see your region’s listing of EE resources go to
CREEC - your ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ Regional Environmental Education Community.
-
The ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ Clara Science & Engin​eering Fair (Synopsys Science & Technology Championship) is a wonderful science student event that promotes the 3 Dimensions of NGSS.
- ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ has a law on its book that promotes Environmental Education in a variety of ways. One way was the development and publication of the State Board of Education’s Approved FREE Curriculum “EEI - Environmental Education Initiative“
-
The Tech Museum of Innovation’s learning programs and galleries support ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ Content Standards and are inspired by the innovative science and technology of ¹ú²ú´«Ã½ Valley, and designed to captivate your students through STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) learning. As students engage in hands-on learning throughout their time at The Tech, they reinforce concepts they’re learning in school and develop 21st century skills and habits of mind of innovators.
