The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are a set of educational guidelines designed to improve science education in the United States. They focus on developing students' understanding of scientific concepts and practices through hands-on learning and real-world applications. The standards emphasize critical thinking, problem-solving, and collaboration, preparing students for future challenges in science and technology. NGSS integrates three dimensions of learning: scientific and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas. This framework encourages students to engage in scientific inquiry and apply their knowledge across various disciplines. By fostering a deeper understanding of science, NGSS aims to create a more scientifically literate society.
