California Science Framework

The California Science Framework is a guide that outlines what students should learn in science from kindergarten through 12th grade. It emphasizes hands-on, inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to explore natural phenomena, ask questions, and develop critical thinking skills. The framework integrates concepts across scientific disciplines such as life sciences, physical sciences, and earth sciences, aiming to make science education relevant and engaging. Its goal is to prepare students to understand scientific principles and apply them to real-world challenges, fostering a lifelong interest in science and informed decision-making.
