Educational Correlations
Next Generation Science Standards
NGSS and Vernier
Vernier lab books encourage students to investigate natural phenomena and solve real-world problems that closely align with the eight science and engineering practices identified in the Next Generation Science Standards* (NGSS). These science and engineering practices are the foundation of Vernier lab books and include
- Asking Questions and Defining Problems
- Developing and Using Models
- Planning and Carrying Out Investigations
- Analyzing and Interpreting Data
- Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking
- Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions
- Engaging in Argument from Evidence
- Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information
Hands-on learning has been at the core of our mission for over 38 years, and as we create new products—whether it is hardware, software, or written investigations—we will work to align them to NGSS, making it easy for teachers and science supervisors to help students meet these standards.
Why use probeware?
From creating a deeper understanding of science concepts to engaging students with real-world data, using probeware in the classroom greatly benefits your teaching. To learn more about the research that links student use of probeware in the classroom to higher performance and test scores, download a copy of our white paper.

Lab Books Developed for NGSS
Vernier produces a number of lab books in alignment with the Next Generation Science Standards, and many of the experiments are designed to support students in three-dimensional learning. Applying these concepts in the classroom helps students make connections and develop the critical thinking skills required for success in the 21st century.
These lab books are written specifically to correlate with NGSS guidelines. Each lab book is loaded with teacher tips, sample graphs, and editable Microsoft® Word® versions of the student pages you can customize to use in your classroom.
