Description
The Next Generation Science Standards for California Public Schools have created a different way of thinking about teaching and learning science and will transform science education in California. These standards seek to connect student inquisitiveness to a search for new knowledge. While past standards emphasized science as a body of knowledge to be mastered, the Next Generation Science Standards for California Public Schools combine knowledge and inquiry and ask our students to be scientists at the start. This publication contains the State Board of Education edits to the national Next Generation Science Standards. It also provides connections to California’s Standards for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and the Environmental Principles and Concepts.
