What is the vision for K-12 science education?

A Framework for K-12 Science Education provides a sound, evidence-based foundation for standards by drawing on current scientific research—including research on the ways students learn science effectively—and identifies the science each and every K–12 student should know. The instructional approach called for in the Framework encourages students to move from learning about to observing and figuring out natural phenomena. A coherent and consistent approach throughout grades K-12 is key to realizing the vision for science and engineering education.
