Printer-friendly version Criteria for evaluating K-8 Science instructional material established by State Board of Education action on March 10, 1999. In October 1998, the California State Board of Education adopted Science Content Standards for Grades K-12 (referred to as the Standards) that describe what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. The Standards define the essential skills and knowledge in science that will enable California students to compete with their peers around the world. Students should have the opportunity to learn science by direct instruction, by reading textbooks and supplemental materials, by solving Standards-based problems, and by doing lab investigations and experiments. At each grade level for grades K through 8, a list of essential, and progressively more sophisticated investigation and experimentation standards is included. These investigation and experimentation standards should be integral to, and directly and specifically supporting the teaching of the Life, Physical and Earth Science standards at the time the material is taught.

Enduring understandings, as defined by Wiggins and McTighe, refer to important ideas or core processes that have lasting value beyond the classroom. To determine enduring understandings, teachers are encouraged to ask: What do we want students to understand and be able to use several years from now, after they have forgotten the details.

Extractions: Measurement: Understanding the concepts and uses of measurement provides a basis for developing geometry skills. Students need to know how to find the volume of a model. This knowledge provides students the skills needed to solve geometric problems using formulas. Students should also know and understand the application of measurement concepts to problem solving. As students continue to develop their measurement skills, they should also learn how to recognize numerical relationships between units of measure. Measurement skills have many real-world applications. Understanding the basic concepts included in Objective 4 will prepare students to apply measurement skills in various situations. In addition, the knowledge and skills found in objective 4 at fifth grade are closely aligned with the knowledge and skills found in Objective 4 at sixth grade. Objective 4 includes the concepts within the TEKS from which an understanding of measurement is developed.
