Next Generation Science Standards
California adopted Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in 2013! This is your one-stop-shop for finding the best resources to bring these standards to life. These resources help you find phenomena from daily life to anchor the learning in curiosity stemming from students' lived experiences. And, more resources for building robust learning activities, from inquiry to data collection to arguing from evidence.

The Framework described eight practices in Science and Engineering that all students needed to learn. These are the skills and knowledge needed to do science. We have gathered resources to help you understand all eight practices.
Crosscutting concepts have value because they provide students with connections and intellectual tools that are related across the differing areas of disciplinary content and can enrich their application of practices and their understanding of core ideas.
NGSS has three dimensions: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts and Content. This page focusing on the content areas of NGSS broken down by grade level.
