NGSS Science and Engineering Practices

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), has three distinct and equally important dimensions to a cohesive understanding of science over time. In our “Communicating Your Research” document you will find a detailed guide for organizing and delivering a scientific presentation with students recent experiments.
