Next Generation Science Standards Official Website- The NGSS is based on A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas released by the National Research Council (NRC) in July 2011. Through a collaborative, state-led process, new K–12 science standards rich in content and practice, and arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education, were developed and finalize. Downloadable PDFs of all NGSS documents are available here.
Interactive Online NGSS Tool , This tool allows users to search the standards and organize content to meet their needs. Within the Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI) standards can be organized by grade band and DCI. The NGSS can also be viewed as the individual performance expectations that make up the standards.
