Title Energy Skate Park-NGSS aligned HS
Description Summer of 2014, a work group was formed to write lessons that align with both PhET design and facilitation principles and Next Generation Science Standards. The work group wrote a design template and some lessons. This particular example has a student handout that is longer than PhET research would say is ideal, but is a good demonstration of the process of aligning both PhET and NGSS. This lesson has not been updated for use with the html5 version images or screen hints but could be used.
