The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are based on the "Framework K–12 Science Education" that was created by the National Research Council. They have three dimensions that are integrated in instruction at all levels.
Develop and use a model of the Earth-sun-moon system to describe the cyclic patterns of lunar phases, eclipses of the sun and moon, and seasons. Develop and use a model to describe the role of gravity in the motions within galaxies and the solar system.
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Assessments are Connecticut’s statewide mastery examinations for science in grades 5, 8, and 11. They provide an efficient and reliable estimate of a student’s overall performance in science relative to grade-appropriate standards that enables valid interpretations of student achievement and progress.
