Ngss Cheat Sheet 1

This document outlines the disciplinary core ideas that make up the three dimensions of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). It includes the four domains of science: physical science, life science, earth and space science, and engineering, technology, and applications of science. Each domain contains multiple core ideas that define the essential knowledge within that domain. The core ideas are grouped into units such as PS1: Matter and Its Interactions for physical science.
