The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) Model Lessons serve as an introduction to NGSS and three dimensional teaching for kindergarten through fifth grade. Each lesson includes a Teacher's Page and student resources that are available to download and use in classrooms.

Funding was provided through a grant from the Illinois State Board of Education. Materials were developed by the Science Educators Initiative team from Illinois Mathematics and Science Academy (IMSA).
