Supporting Best Practice in Teaching Science
Iowa science standards
In order to ensure our current K-12 students are scientifically-literate, global citizens who are prepared for college or career success, Iowa adopted new Science Standards that reflect what students in grades K-12 should know and be able to do as a result of instruction.
The new science standards reflect our state’s emphasis on giving all students the real-world knowledge and skills needed to be ready for success in college and in the workforce, regardless of the career paths they choose. These real-world connections will involve students engaging with scientific phenomena and design solutions to problems. In addition, the standards focus on deeper understanding of content and build coherently from kindergarten through grade 12 and the standards provide clear opportunities for clear connection to literacy and mathematics.
