NGL’s STEM curriculum for grades K-6 is called Exploring Science and is aligned with Next Generation Science Standards. In partnership with the ISS National Lab, NGL has recently expanded this curriculum with the addition of engineering design challenges and new digital content. The new ISS-related content is not limited to space science. The research in the ISS National Lab touches on all fields of science and engineering, from microbiology to materials science to medical technologies, so it has relevance throughout the STEM curriculum.
