Science A–Z.com helps students learn and practice many of the Scientific and Engineering Practices in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), including Asking Questions; Analyzing and Interpreting Data; and Developing and Using Models. Students develop these practices both in isolation and in the context of authentic science Process Activities.

Throughout Science A–Z units, students gain valuable exposure to the Crosscutting Concepts of science, such as Patterns; Cause and Effect; and Systems and System Models. Our collections of Science Diagrams and Science Videos help illustrate many Crosscutting Concepts.

Science A–Z’s materials help teach the Disciplinary Core Ideas of science for grades K–6. The Nonfiction Books provide a general introduction to broad ideas of science, while materials such as Investigation Packs, Quick Reads, Debates, and Discussion Cards help students dig deeper into the Core Ideas.

Science A-Z regularly adds new content to address NGSS and its Performance Expectations. Two recent examples — Career Files and Scientist and Inventor Cards — were added to address standards related to “science as a human endeavor.”

Throughout Science A–Z’s 3,000+ resources, technology, engineering, and math are integrated — key aspects of both the NGSS and STEM initiatives.
