NGSS - Next Generation Science Standards

The video introduces the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), highlighting their role in guiding science education. It explains the K12 Science Framework, developed by scientists and educators, which forms the foundation of NGSS. The framework is divided into three areas: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas. The video provides examples of these areas, such as model development in engineering and cause and effect in science. It emphasizes the progression of learning from elementary to high school, aiming to enhance scientific literacy.
