Using the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), developed from A Framework for K-12 Science Education, students will begin to mirror practices of professional scientists and engineers by
This framework is designed to help children continually build on and revise their knowledge and abilities, starting from their curiosity about what they see around them and their initial conceptions about how the world works. The goal is to then guide the students knowledge toward a more scientifically based and coherent view of the natural sciences.
