NGSS Help Docs
As you browse and work with the NGSS Explorer, you may find certain visualizations particularly useful. Using our parameterization you can render the exact graph you want at any point. Notice the following types of graph labels within the NGSS Explorer: NGSS Codes, ASN Codes, Low/High Grades, Topics, SEPs, DCIs, CCs, and specific resources. You can use the drop down menus to view graphs of these types, or you can pass the exact graph through the url.
Supported parameters include:
- ?ngssCode=<ngss_standard_code>
- ?sCode=<ASN_standard_code>
- ?lowGrade=<K-12>
- ?highGrade=<K-12>
- ?topic=Topic_<topic_name>
- ?sep=SEP_<sep_name>
- ?dci=DCI_<dci_name>
- ?cc=CC_<cc_name>
- ?resource=resource=<resource_title>
Render visualizations on your website
Our tool is setup for use with IFrames. Simply include the following code in your site and you're all set!
<iframe src="{base}/ngss_explorer?iframe=True" width="900" height="600"></iframe>
Examples:
DCI - Chemical Reactions
If the graph of Chemical Reactions is particularly useful for you, you can dynamically generate that graph and link your users straight to it. Moreso, you can directly render the graph built with that parameterization through an IFrame directly onto your site. See the example below:
{base}/ngss_explorer?dci=DCI Chemical Reactions
CC - Stability and Change
{base}/ngss_explorer?cc=CC Stability and Change
NGSS - Single Standard (3-5-ETS1-1)
{base}/ngss_explorer?ngsscode=3-5-ETS1-1
ASN - Single Standard (S2454469)
{base}/ngss_explorer?sCode=S2454469
Grade (2nd through 6th grade)
{base}/ngss_explorer?lowgrade=2&highgrade=6
Topic - Earth's Systems
{base}/ngss_explorer?topic=Topic Earth's Systems
SEP - Asking Questions and Defining Problems
{base}/ngss_explorer?sep=SEP Asking Questions and Defining Problems
Resource - Single Resource (Balloon Car)
{base}/ngss_visualization?resource=Balloon Car
