A Framework for K-12 Science Education

New Framework for K-12 Science Education (National Research Council) http://www7.nationalacademies.org/bose/Standards_Framework_Homepage.html • By grade 5, the framework calls for students to understand the basic concepts of

climate change and the impact to humans and other organisms; • By grade 8, to understand the role of human activities on global climate change;

and • By grade 12, to not only understand the concepts listed previously but to

understand the science, engineering and technology concepts of possible solutions to slow its rate and consequences. (NRC, 2011)
