Support the implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in your classroom.
The materials below can help teachers integrate the NGSS/NYSSLS 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.
NYSSLS Shared Resources (Share-a-thon 2.0 project started 2025)
A share-a-thon is a place where teachers can voluntarily share their resource for other teachers to use. You can share a file OR a Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.) link and it will be hosted in our database with your name next to it so everyone knows you shared it! If you have a NGSS related science resource you would like to share, please complete the form at this link: Click to Share a Resource
Explore a wide range of submitted materials and refine your search by Subject, Subtopic, Standard, or Resource type. Click to View Shared Resources
Please Note: This project is newly launched, so the database is still growing. As more educators contribute, the quality and breadth of available resources will continue to expand. Your help is key to building a robust and valuable resource hub.
