The Next Generation of Science Standards
Overview
This overview reiterates the vision and goals of the Ohio Revised Science Education Standards and Model Curriculum, provides the guiding principles that framed the development of the materials, and contains the definitions used in the documents.
Vision
The Ohio Revised Academic Content Standards and Model Curriculum for Science Education serve as a basis for what all students should know and be able to do in order to become scientifically literate citizens equipped with knowledge and skills for the 21st century workforce and higher education. Ohio educators are provided with the content and expectations for learning upon which to base science curriculum at each grade level. By the end of high school, students should graduate with sufficient proficiency in science to:
• Know, use and interpret scientific explanations of the natural world;
• Generate and evaluate scientific evidence and explanations, distinguishing science from pseudoscience;
• Understand the nature and development of scientific knowledge;
• Participate productively in scientific practices and discourse.
