I love science. I was a biology major in college and I love sharing science with my elementary school students. Their excitement is contagious!
So when I heard there were new science standards coming, I took a look and my mind was blown.
I was SO confused! There were pages and pages of charts, tables, and appendices, explaining an intricate web of disciplinary core ideas, cross-cutting concepts, science and engineering practices…what?!?!?!
