South Carolina Science Academic Standards Support Guide   August 2007

Introduction

The Science Standards writing team developed the Science Standards Support Guide in cooperation with South Carolina educators. The Science Standards Support Guide expands upon each indicator to provide educators with additional content information such as guidelines for assessment. In addition, the Science Standards Support Guide provides suggested resources for educators to address science standards in classroom instruction. The Science Standards support guide will assist educators with the successful implementation of standards-based science instruction.
