1 Alignment of Oregon cience tandards Crosswalk of 2009 Oregon cience tandards to 2014 Oregon cience tandards (ext Generation cience tandards)

2 Oregon epartment of Education April 2014 Alignment of Oregon cience tandards 2014 cience tandards (ext Generation cience tandards) and 2009 cience tandards Introduction These pages show how the content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts () associated with the new Oregon cience tandards (G) adopted in March 2014 align to the Oregon cience tandards adopted in February It is important to remember that the new Oregon cience tandards (G) will be phased in so that districts can implement changes in local curriculum, provide appropriate professional development for teachers and administrators, and provide students with opportunities to learn the content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts prior to assessment. Oregon students will continue to be assessed on the Oregon 2009 cience tandards via OAK cience until a new science assessment that aligns with the newly adopted standards is developed and becomes operational in urpose The purpose of this document is to provide educators with a view of the alignment between the 2009 content standards currently required as part of each Oregon district s curriculum and instruction in the subject area of science, and those contained in the new 2014 Oregon cience tandards (G). An examination of the content of these pages is meant to provide at least some clarification on the following issues: What content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts are new and have not previously been a part of Oregon s 2009 cience tandards? What content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts will now need to be part of the curriculum at an earlier (or later) grade level than where they are currently taught and assessed? In what instances are similar skills being addressed, but with a somewhat different emphasis or with different expectations regarding the degree of sophistication? Organization of the Alignment Tables The rows in the table show whether there is a corresponding 2009 Oregon science standard(s) for each of the new 2014 Oregon science standards (G) performance expectation (E) in the areas of content, practices, and cross-cutting concepts (). Codes designate the degree of alignment: = trong; = artial; = ifferent Grade; = ew (not in any 2009 OR). The 2009 Oregon cience tandards that are not aligned to any new 2014 Oregon cience tandard (G) are included at the end of the document. The bulleted statements at the beginning of the document provide summary information about the differences between the two sets of standards.

G is more specific to plant and animal survival, and moves deeper into constructing an argument. G moves beyond observation to describing patterns. Observation is an element/precursor to planning and carrying out investigations. G shifts from exploring questions to asking questions, requires greater specificity, and expects students to obtain and communicate information. Temperature patterns (2009 OR 2 nd Grade Earth/pace cience tandard) shifts to K and 3 rd Grade in G. G Engineering esign tandards are K-2 grade-band specific.
