What does it mean for our Science Teaching?

NGSS are NSTA’s (USA Schools' Science Standards, not ACARA’s and not WA SCSA Year-Level Science Achievement Standards.

However, URL 3 will show similarities between the afore-mentioned ‘National' and WA Year-Level Science Achievement Standards and NGSS.

Thanks and Best Wishes,

Michael John McGarry
