NGSS-Aligned Curriculum For High School Science
Make science engagement possible for every student
Kognity is here to bridge the gap between NGSS curriculum and classroom implementation—empowering teachers, engaging students, and improving consistency in science instruction.
NGSS Curriculum Adoption Made Easy
Kognity delivers NGSS-aligned curriculum, empowering teachers with options for personalized instruction. They receive ongoing PD support while the platform’s variety of interactive content fuels student engagement in-class, online, and at-home.
Boosting student engagement
The Kognity curriculum is delivered via a digital platform full of interactive, phenomena-based content that fuels student curiosity in class, online, and at home. Students learn to make connections through the use of real-world phenomena, keeping them engaged and future-ready.
Expert-Crafted, Shaped By Teachers
A dedicated team of original NGSS writers, professional learning developers, and experienced teachers come together to create Kognity’s rigorous and reliable content. Mirroring the NGSS, our approach promotes continuous enhancements through peer feedback and open discussion.
Universal Accessibility
Kognity helps all students through reading assistance features like text-to-speech, visual aids, a picture dictionary, an interactive glossary, and translations into 130+ languages. This lets teachers focus on guiding classroom discussions while students receive support directly in the platform.
Implementation Made Easy
You’ll receive ongoing support with teacher guides, instructions, and a dedicated professional development specialist for 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins—equipping teachers with the skills and confidence to bring the curriculum to life in their classrooms.
Three-Dimensional Assessment
To support your students’ science mastery, Kognity offers a variety of assessment options. By using our 3D Performance Tasks, knowledge checks, quizzes, and more, you’ll help boost test scores and see improvement in CCCs, SEPs, and DCIs by making the content more approachable for everyone.
Reliable Performance Data
Now you can easily track student progress with Kognity’s trusted performance data. Whether it’s formative or summative, you’ll capture built-in assessment moments that show exactly what your students are learning and applying, with real-time feedback to help them stay on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Kognity's platform be used for low, medium, and high tech classrooms?
Yes. While Kognity is a digital platform, we recognize that high school science, guided by NGSS standards, thrives in collaborative, in-person environments. We offer discussion protocols and ‘talk-moves’ to support student inquiry and exploration, regardless of their tech setup or confidence level. Our suggestions are flexible, and teachers—who know their classrooms best—can adapt them as needed.
How does Kognity support equity, access, and inclusion for all?
At Kognity, we believe all students should have access to scientific content, no matter their proficiency level. To support this, we’ve partnered with Microsoft to provide Immersive Reader, a reading assistance tool, that breaks down learning barriers both at home and in the classroom.
With support for over 130 languages, text-to-speech, visual aids, line focus, adjustable reading speeds, a picture dictionary, and an interactive glossary, we strive to help students succeed. We also recommend discussion protocols and ‘talk-moves’ to foster inquiry and exploration, regardless of confidence level, and include vocabulary boxes and an embedded glossary for quick definitions of complex science terms.
