The model curriculum provides a framework for the development of a more detailed local curriculum. The courses and units were developed through the work of consortia of practicing teachers, science supervisors, and higher education faculty. Each unit of instruction includes a guiding question, a unit overview, estimated number of instructional days necessary to complete the unit, and Student Learning Objectives. The educators who developed the second edition of the model science curriculum included the following sections to assist others in transforming their classrooms to meet or exceed the demands of the new science standards.
