Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework
The STANDARDS CORRELATION chart
suggests which Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework standards you can cover using PASSPORT TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM
in your classroom. We hope you will discover additional standards you can use. These are the ones
our Instructional Materials Development team felt most directly related to the activities contained
in PASSPORT TO THE SOLAR SYSTEM.
For additional Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework standards you can cover see the STANDARDS CORRELATION chart
for the following PASSPORT TO KNOWLEDGE projects:
PASSPORT TO WEATHER AND CLIMATE
LIVE FROM THE SUN/LIVE FROM THE AURORA
LIVE FROM A BLACK HOLE/LIVE FROM THE EDGE OF SPACE AND TIME
Grades Pre K-2, Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8,
Grades 9-12
