Essential+Standards+Resources

=The links below provide information on the North Carolina Essential Standards for Science. The Unpacked Standards links will give you brief explanations of the content you are expected to discuss for each Standard. The Crosswalks are a comparsion with the NC SCOS and show where information from the old Standards can be found in the new Essential Standards.= (test distribution) ||= ==PDF == ||= ==PDF== ||<  || (test distribution) ||= ==PDF == ||= ==PDF == ||< * Matter: Properties & Changes/conservation of matter (test distribution) ||= ==PDF == ||= ==PDF == ||<  ||
