A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas

January 1, 2012 | Informal/Formal Connections
A Framework for K-12 Science Education outlines a broad set of expectations for students in science and engineering in grades K-12. These expectations will inform the development of new standards for K-12 science education and, subsequently, revisions to curriculum, instruction, assessment, and professional development for educators. This book identifies three dimensions that convey the core ideas and practices around which science and engineering education in these grades should be built.
