Science Standards and Framework

Educational standards describe what students should know and be able to do in each subject in each grade. In California, the State Board of Education decides on the standards for students in grades TK–12. The board adopted the New Generation Science Standards in 2013. These performance expectations outline how students should practice and think about science concepts. The California NGSS, a conceptual framework, and other resources are available here.

Note: While awaiting alignment with new state science standards (Next Generation Science Standards - adopted 2013), the Board of Education approved the use of NGSS Transition Guides for TK-5 teachers. For more information, contact the Science Department.
