Proposed NGSS for California Public Schools, K-12

Proposed Learning Progressions for Elementary (K-5), Middle (6-8) and High School (9-12) Science.

EC Section 60605.85 requires the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) to submit a set of revised Science Content Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Grade Twelve to the State Board of Education (SBE) by July 31, 2013, and the SBE must adopt, reject, or modify those standards by November 30, 2013. The proposed science standards for California must be based upon the nationally developed Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

The proposed standards can be viewed by grade level Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI): Life Sciences, Earth and Space Sciences, and Physical Sciences or by grade level Topic (e.g.: Chemical Reactions, Structure and Function, or Space Systems).
