Correlation
of GEMS to the State of California Science Content
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.
As regards the "Investigation
and Experimentation" strand, some units
provide students with more structured
experiments; others open the way to student
initiated full investigations.
Standards with
an "+" next to them indicate the concept
can be developed fully 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 found in the "Going
Further" sections.
