Science Standards

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are K–12 science standards developed by states, including West Virginia, to improve science education for all students. WV science teachers follow the WVBE College- and Career- Readiness Standards for Science which are built on the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and the Framework for K12 Science Education .
