National Science Education Standards

The National Science Education Standards are a set of guidelines developed to improve science education in the United States. They outline what students should know and be able to do in science at different grade levels. The standards emphasize inquiry-based learning, encouraging students to think critically and engage in hands-on experiments. They also promote the integration of science with other subjects. By establishing these expectations, the Standards aim to enhance the quality of science education, ensuring that all students receive a strong foundation in scientific knowledge and skills necessary for their future learning and careers.
