Why the New Standards?
- Infographic from NSTA
- Download: A Framework for K-12 Science Education, the document behind the standards
3-dimensional learning:
–practices
–cross-cutting concepts
–disciplinary core ideas.
These form the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards.
Where do I find the NYS version of the NGSS?
Here are the full NYS pK-12 Science Learning Standards (NYSSLS) as a PDF. The performance expectations added by NYS (including all of the pK standards) are highlighted in yellow.
- Search the Standards (NGSS) by Topic or by DCI’s (from www.nextgenscience.org)
- NGSS Appendices
Are there NYS-specific resources available?
