Florida Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) for Science

The Next Generation Sunshine State Standards for Science (NGSSS) were adopted by the Florida State Board of Education in February 2008.

NGSSS are divided into benchmarks that identify what a student should know and be able to do at each grade level. Each grade level includes benchmarks from the four Bodies of Knowledge: Nature of Science, Life Science, Earth Science, and Physical Science. Eighteen (18) Big Ideas thread throughout all grade levels and build in rigor and depth as students advance.
