Changes to the Curriculum Frameworks:
In December 2000, the revised Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Frameworks was approved by the Massachusetts Department of Education. The major changes from the previous version include:
  • Standards are more specific, to enable teachers to design instruction and assessment more effectively.
  • Grade spans have been narrowed.
  • There are now four content strands (Earth and Space Science, Life Science, Physical Science, and Technology/Engineering) and "Inquiry" is to be taught within each of the science domains.
