New York State Learning Standards for Mathematics, Science and Technology (currently being replaced with the New York State Science Learning Standards - please refer to that page for timeline)
Some years ago, the New York State Education Department established standards in each subject area for what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. Listed below is a summary of the Science Standards. Click here to view all curriculum area standards in their entirety.
Math, Science and Technology Standards
