9 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION The Science Framework Development Process (Per SBE Approval January 2014) This chart shows the major steps of the curriculum framework development process. All meetings are open to the public. 1. Recruitment of Focus Groups Members October/December Superintendent appoints Educators for Focus Group Late December Meetings of Five Focus Groups Held to Solicit Input on New Framework January/February IQC Reviews Focus Group Report. IQC Recommends CFCC Members and Guidelines for Revision of the Framework to the SBE. 4. SBE Appoints Curriculum Framework and Evaluation Criteria Committee (CFCC) July CFCC Meets 6 Times to Draft Framework September-February 2014/ Draft Framework Presented to IQC May IQC Conducts 60-Day Field Review; Draft Framework Posted on Internet June-July IQC's Science Subject Matter Committee Meets; Suggests Edits to Draft Framework August IQC Meets; Recommends Draft Framework to SBE September Recommended Framework Posted on Internet for 60-Day Public Review October-November SBE Meets; Acts on IQC's Recommendation to Adopt Framework January Framework Posted on Internet; Print Edition Published

11 Grade-Span At-A-Glance Example Grade K 11

12 Unit at-a-glance Example Grade 5 5 -Unit 3: Earth Systems and Processes How much water can be found in different places on Earth? How does matter cycle through ecosystems? What can we do to protect earth s resources? Crosscutting concepts: Scale, Proportion & Quantity; Systems & System Models; Cause and Effect 5-ESS2-2 Describe and graph the amounts and percentages of water and fresh water in various reservoirs to provide evidence about the distribution of water on Earth. [Clarification Statement: Examples of patterns could include the position and motion of Earth with respect to the sun and selected stars that are visible only in particular months.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment does not include causes of seasons.] 5-ESS2-1 Develop a model using an example to describe ways in which the geosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and/ or atmosphere interact. [Clarification Statement: Examples could include the influence of the ocean on ecosystems, landform shape, and climate; the influence of the atmosphere on landforms and ecosystems through weather and climate; and the influence of mountain ranges on winds and clouds in the atmosphere. The geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere are each a system.] [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to the interactions of two systems at a time.] 5-ESS3-1 Obtain and combine information about ways individual communities use science ideas to protect the Earth s resources and environment. [Assessment Boundary: Assessment is limited to oceans, lakes, rivers, glaciers, ground water, and polar ice caps, and does not include the atmosphere.] 12

21 Please share with math teachers grades 3-11 The tool is not a calculator it will not perform calculations for you. The tool is designed to allow you to enter your answer to a question. You can enter your answer using your keyboard, the on-screen keypad, or a combination of both. As you practice, you may want to decide which method is most comfortable for you, and focus on creating your answers that way.
