Common Core State Standards Connections
• Currently we continue to use the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS); however, during teaching and learning, whenever applicable connections to Common Core State Standards in Language Arts and Mathematics should be used.
• Common Core benchmarks are aligned to Science courses in the M-DCPS Pacing Guides
• Grade 5 Science Summer Symposium content has been connected to math, language arts and reading benchmarks.

The Power of Science
• Science isn’t just memorizing facts.• The standards will help students understand how science
works.• The scientific skills and attitudes students learn will provide
them with powerful problem-solving skills.• Every student deserves to benefit from scientific thinking.
