The Next Generation Science Standards |
How do robotics and coding factor into the NGSS? |
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are a framework and set of curriculum standards in science education that focus on preparing students for college and careers. The NGSS are aligned, by grade level and cognitive demand, with the English Language Arts and Mathematics Common Core State Standards. The NGSS were developed by bringing together practicing scientists, cognitive and science education experts, and policy experts to first develop a framework for the standards with the focus on getting the science right. The framework organizes science education around three dimensions:
