Cross-District Science Mapping

(CDSM Curriculum Mapping Initiative)

Welcome to the Cross-District Science Mapping site!

CDSM teachers began meeting in January 2015 to create year-long maps around the MA Science Standards when they were in their draft form. Teachers have been meeting regularly for the past three years, both during the school year and summers, to create units to benefit their students. All units are over Open Resource Education (OER) material suggestion for implementation. All materials are free to use in districts and classrooms within the Creative Commons license attached to this work.

In the CDSM grade level folders, you will find year-long over sheets and corresponding units for kindergarten through grade 8, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

We ask if you use any part of a unit, to provide feedback for our teams using the feedback form located in the unit. Enjoy!
