Explore Our NGSS Workbook Aligned with Next Generation Science Standards

Our Next Generation Science workbooks integrate seamlessly with your NGSS lesson plans, providing informational text and practice items that correspond directly to Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCIs). This NGSS workbook series helps students develop deeper understanding across Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science. The materials work with any science text, kit, or instructional program — use them for independent work, partner activities, or whole-class instruction.

Standards Alignment

Simple Solutions’ products are closely aligned with many state and national standards and guidelines. Each question in our materials is aligned to the single best-fitting national standard, which is listed in the lesson. Our online tool may show additional “partially aligned” standards to help connect content to various state standards. These extra standards are not printed in the lesson, but reflect broader alignment to support state-specific needs.

Use the tool to find out how each product aligns with state standards. You can start with a standard set and see all lessons and quizzes aligned with that standard with a particular product. Or, you can start with a Simple Solutions book and see which standards are covered by each lesson or quiz. Check back regularly for updates.
