NGSS Resources for Teachers

Welcome to our NGSS resources page! Here, you will find a variety of materials and resources to support the implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in your classroom.

The NGSS are a set of science education standards that aim to provide a framework for K-12 science education that is grounded in scientific and engineering practices and is focused on preparing students to be scientifically literate citizens (more detailed NGSS overview).

The materials below have been carefully selected to help teachers integrate the NGSS into their science curriculum and provide engaging, hands-on experiences for their students. We hope you find these resources useful and we look forward to supporting you in your journey to enhance science education for your students.
