Below are a variety of resources on the NGSS to support educators in the implementation of the new state science standards.
Literacy for Science: Exploring the Intersection of the Next Generation Science Standards and Common Core for ELA Standards – A Workshop Summary-- The report summarizes presentations and discussions at a workshop by the Board on Science to discuss possible areas of synergy between the NGSS and the CCSS-ELA and –Math.
Next Gen Navigator Newsletters-A monthly e-newsletter delivering information, insights, resources, and professional learning-opportunities for science educators by science educators on the Next Generation Science Standards and three-dimensional instruction.
Smithsonian Science How-Excellent resource that connects your students via video webcasts and online text chats to Smithsonian research and experts. Free media-rich instructional resources are also available through the site.
Science Friday Educator Collaborative - An educator collaborative comprised of experienced educators who were selected from hundreds of applicants based on their exceptional approaches to STEM teaching and enthusiasm. Five of the seven teachers are from states that have adopted the NGSS. Check out the resources here, and the SciFri monthly education newsletter here (you can sign up to receive Science Friday experiments and lesson idea each month)
PhET Interactive Simulations (UC Boulder) Open resource with excellent interactive simulations for all levels and domains in science.
The Concord Consortium—this is a great site with sample interactive tasks searchable by combinations of DCI, practice and CCC; including Molecular Workbench, an open source site with interactive simulations
HHMI Biointeractive—Free science multimedia resources, including apps, animations, videos, interactives, and virtual labs with associated teacher guides and classroom activities.
MIT Blossoms—Free video lessons for high school available as streaming video, internet downloads and DVDs. 50-minute lessons include video segments, teacher’s guide, downloadable handouts and list of online resources.
Ecology Disrupted—High quality NGSS-aligned case study units developed by American Museum of Natural History for middle or high school students. Ecology Disrupted uses videos about scientific research to introduce students to environmental impacts that arise from familiar everyday human behaviors. As students work with the researchers' data and analyses, they see how these impacts disrupt normal ecological functions even as they make everyday life more convenient. Students are asked to consider how changing everyday activity might mitigate the human impact on the ecology of the natural world.
San Francisco Unified School District Middle School Science Core Curriculum—Instructional units for 6th grade are currently available with 7th and 8th grade ones in development. These are NGSS-designed project-based lessons utilizing the 5E Instructional Model (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate). Evidence-based reasoning for scientific explanations and engineering solutions to address real world problems is emphasized.
Achieve Website: Quality Examples of Science Lessons and Units—These are lessons and units that have been evaluated by the EQuIP Peer Review Panel for Science and found to be Examples of High Quality NGSS Design, Examples of High Quality NGSS Design if Improved, or Quality Works in Progress. Check the site regularly for added lessons/units.
