NYSSLS Fundamentals for Elementary K-5

The following materials have been created by consultant Glenn Cohrane and can be used to help implement the NYS Science Learning Standards in a district asynchronously or in small groups. Districts can place these materials into their own Google Drive or One Drive so they can be accessed a learning management system (like Google Classroom). This is a 4 part program on the Fundamentals of the NYSSLS for K-5. It can be run through the One Stop Agenda Anchor Chart shown below.

The Google folder with the materials in the Anchor chart can be accessed here.


An introduction for how to use these is below:

  1. What does this look like in the classroom?

  2. More components of NYSSLS

  3. Curriculum

  4. Assessment


Each video gives the opportunity to pause and discuss or download materials to review using 3D screeners, followed up by an explanation.
