New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards This is a very rough, first cut at analyzing how our science modules align with the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards. Your input is welcome and most appreciated. Simply click on the title of a kit to see which standards are addressed by that unit. To simply review the grid for each kit is misleading. In some cases, part of a standard is addressed. In others, the whole standard is addressed. In still others, the standard is addressed in numerous lessons and reinforced. The standards that are addressed by each unit are also written out, along with how they are addressed, broken down by individual lesson where appropriate. At this point, only those standards addressed directly by the content delineated in the Teacher’s Guide are listed here. However, there are many opportunities to extend the lesson plans just a little bit further which would address additional standards. These activities would typically be considered as extensions of the kit and many are, or will soon be available at each kit's homepage. As they are developed, they will be referred to both in this section, and in the Extension Activities section of the kit site. As in life, nothing stands isolated in little boxes called "science" or "mathematics" or "language arts" or any particular subject. While science may be the main focus of the unit, it is truly interdisciplinary which is relfected in the delineation of standards addressed.
