The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are a set of K-12 science standards that were developed by a team of science educators, scientists, and education policymakers. The NGSS are based on the latest research in science education and are designed to help students develop a deep understanding of science and engineering practices, as well as the core ideas of science and engineering. The NGSS have been adopted by most states in the United States, and they are also being used in many other countries around the world.
