Prior Knowledge (Fair Game):Items may require the student to apply scientific knowledge described in NGSSS benchmarks from lower grades; however, the benchmarks from lower grades will not be assessed in isolation.FCAT 2.0 will assess content taught in lower grades although not retaught in 5th.
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 need to be established.
• Common Core benchmarks are aligned to Science courses in the M-DCPS Pacing Guides
• All benchmarks should be taught since they are foundational for the next grade level.

The Power of Science
• Science isn’t just memorizing facts.• The new 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.
