As of 2020, GUSD has adopted a new Science curriculum: Carolina Science Online. We will continue to use Mystery Science online. Both curricula are aligned to the NGSS as adopted by the state of California.
NGSS stands for Next Generation Science Standards. Glendale Unified conforms to these California standards for implementation in the classroom. We will be transitioning into the new framework by continuing to use our textbook in the overlapping content areas, while phasing in lessons and activities with support from Mystery Science (www.mysteryscience.com) Click here to see the NGSS website and a list of the Science standards for third grade.
