Next Generation Science Standards : For States, By States

Next Generation Science Standards identifies the science all K-12 students should know.

These new standards are based on the National Research Council's A Framework for K-12 Science Education.

The National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Achieve have partnered to create standards through a collaborative state-led process.

The standards are rich in content and practice and arranged in a coherent manner across disciplines and grades to provide all students an internationally benchmarked science education. The print version of Next Generation Science Standards complements the nextgenscience.org website and:Provides an authoritative offline reference to the standards when creating lesson plansArranged by grade level and by core discipline, making information quick and easy to findPrinted in full color with a lay-flat spiral bindingAllows for bookmarking, highlighting, and annotatingTable of ContentsFront MatterNEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS: Arranged by Disciplinary CoreIdeasConnections to Standards: Arranged by Disciplinary Core Ideas(DCIs)NEXT GENERATION SCIENCE STANDARDS: Arranged by TopicsConnections to Standards: Arranged by TopicsVOLUME 2: APPENDIXESAPPENDIX A: Conceptual Shifts in the Next Generation ScienceStandardsAPPENDIX B: Responses to the Public DraftsAPPENDIX C: College And Career ReadinessAPPENDIX D: "All Standards, All Students": Making the NextGeneration Science Standards Accessible to All StudentsAPPENDIX E: Disciplinary Core Idea Progressions in the NextGeneration Science StandardsAPPENDIX F: Science and Engineering Practices in the NextGeneration Science StandardsAPPENDIX G: Crosscutting Concepts in the Next Generation ScienceStandardsAPPENDIX H: Understanding the Scientific Enterprise: The Nature ofScience in the Next Generation Science StandardsAPPENDIX I: Engineering Design in the Next Generation ScienceStandardsAPPENDIX J: Science, Technology, Society, and the EnvironmentAPPENDIX K: Model Course Mapping in Middle and High School for theNext Generation Science StandardsAPPENDIX L: Connections to the Common Core State Standards forMathematicsAPPENDIX M: Connections to the Common Core State Standards forLiteracy in Science and Technical Subjects
