Correlation of GEMS to the State of South Carolina Science Standards Please understand this as a work in progress. As with all correlations, there is always debate about how much focus needs to be present in an unit for it to be declared a match. Outcomes followed by a + indicate the concept can be developed to a level of complete comprehension by teaching the particular GEMS guide as written. Additional standards are listed if they are addressed in the GEMS guide but would need additional information or teaching in order for the student to fully comprehend the concept or if they are covered in the "Going Further" section. Units are listed by grade level 3rd grade and up 6th grade and up
