Ngss Lens

NGSS Lens helps science teachers make sense of NGSS performance expectation codes while browsing curriculum pages, district planning documents, resource lists, and teacher discussions.

When a page contains a code such as HS-LS2-1 or MS-PS1-2, NGSS Lens highlights it and provides a quick teacher-facing decode:

a plain-English read of the performance expectation
the SEP, DCI, and CCC pieces
observable student evidence moves
a common “watch out” to avoid superficial alignment
links to official NGSS and OpenSciEd resources
The side panel keeps a selected PE open while teachers continue reading. This makes NGSS Lens useful as a lightweight navigation layer over NGSS-related resources, not a replacement for official standards.
