Introduction of the Next Generation Science Standards to K-12 classrooms across the U.S. has brought about change in the way STEM subjects — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — are taught.

**But what do teachers need to prepare for the coming change?**

At KnowAtom, we think stepping back to gain a little perspective helps — taking a closer look at NGSS, exploring the inquiry experience from a student’s viewpoint, and then assessing what is needed for teachers to be successful.

**This eBook will cover:**

- Key changes in STEM education that come with NGSS
- The student inquiry experience
- The teacher perspective, through a KnowAtom sample unit
