Oregon teaching standards for science have changed to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). NGSS standards consist of three types integrated into a Performance Expectation (PE):
Science and Engineering Practice - Skills and practices used in science and engineering.
Disciplinary Core Ideas (DCI) - "Content standards" most like the old standards.
Cross-Cutting Concepts (CCC) - Concepts found across all fields science and engineering.
* These standards overlap multiple bundles, but may be emphasized more heavily in one.
Middle School Science Resources - Standards and resources from N. Clackamas SD.
