Earth and Space Sciences for NGSS

Product Description

Earth and Space Sciences for NGSS has been specifically written to meet the requirements of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) for high school Earth and Space Sciences (HS-ESS). Users of this truly NGSS-aligned resource can be assured that the three dimensions (Disciplinary Core Ideas, Science and Engineering Practices, and Crosscutting Concepts) form the basis of each activity. Structured on the Disciplinary Core Ideas of the NGSS framework, this title provides a flexible approach to delivering NGSS. BIOZONE’S high-quality, infographics and inquiry-driven pedagogical approach inspires students to be curious about the scientific world. Our unique, interactive worktext approach encourages direct interaction with the content, allowing students to record their answers within the context of the stimulus material and form a record of work for quick and easy revision.
