Nathan Windel and Donnie Lee team up to talk about science and education. They discuss topics related to The Next Generation Science Standards. The NGSS are national standards for K-12 science education adopted or adapted by 44 states. They were established by Achieve and are based on research and input from the National Research Council, the National Science Teachers Association, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. We hope you join us as we talk about our own experiences in the world of science and interview our special guests to get their take on topics related to science and education as well. Most of all, let's have fun and discover all of the great things our universe has to offer when we look through O.U.R. Science Lens!
