DCS Science

The science curriculum at DCS is based on the Next Generation Science Standards. The competency statements highlight the Cross Cutting Concepts from NGSS. These statements are from the New Hampshire State Model Competencies - DOE  and they are nationally aligned with the Framework for K-12 Science Education. “Cross Cutting Concepts help students explore connections across the four domains of science: Physical Science, Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Engineering Design.” Incorporated into the competences are the NGSS Science and Engineering Practices in which “students engage in practices to build, deepen, and apply their knowledge of core ideas and crosscutting concepts.”
