Our Next Generation Science Instruction (NGSI) courses and resources are designed specifically for educators making the shift to next generation science teaching and learning. This comprehensive set of materials supports the professional learning in our NGSI: Waves course.
The complete NGSI: Science and Engineering Facilitator Guide bundle contains the Teacher Book, a Facilitator Guide, as well as digital access to course handouts and a course materials guide. The Teacher Book is designed to support learning during the course and provides background content notes and teaching cases to support science learning and building connections to the classroom. The Facilitator Guide includes extensive support materials and detailed procedures that allow science educators and staff developers to successfully lead a Making Sense of SCIENCE course for teacher learning.
Physics has found no straight lines. Instead, the physical universe consists of only waves undulating back and forth allowing for corrections and balance.

NGSI: Waves
This course covers the properties and behaviors of waves, the types of waves, and the ways waves are used in the transmission of data.
Facilitation Academy
Prepare staff developers to facilitate a specific MSS Course. Attendees experience the course as learners and delve into the techniques needed to facilitate it for participants.
Dimensions of Science Education
By engaging in learning this way, students develop skills in the practices of science and engineering, adopt the habits of thinking of scientists and engineers, and gain science and engineering knowledge.
Properties of Next Generation Science Education
This resource highlights just three properties of Next Generation Science Education — multidimensional, phenomenon-based, and equitable.
