Title: Kindergarten Science Glossary

The Kindergarten Science Glossary has been updated to the ND Science Content Standards MAY 2018 1st Draft for Public Release. No major changes except for verbiage changes (noted in comments) to 2 standards listed below:

- SCI-00.ESS3.01 Represent the relationship between the needs of different plants and animals (including humans) and the places they live using a model.
- SCI-00.LS1.01 Describe patterns, through observation, of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive.

Other changes is updating the glossaries proficiency scales from a table to a responsive grid to be accessibility compliant. Plus the new format also matches the new Visual Progress Report going from left to right.

The BPS District Science Standards Book will be updated later once all the glossaries are completed.

The state released the ND Science Standards Second Draft , which had some minor changes/corrections.

Below is a list of those edits done in the Kindergarten Science Standards Glossary: Below is a list of those edits:

Second Draft Edits
Standard / Edit | 1st Draft | 2nd Draft
SCI-00.ESS3.02 VERBIAGE dropped "severe" | Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for, and respond to, severe weather. | Ask questions to obtain information about the purpose of weather forecasting to prepare for and respond to weather.

Overview of all the changes with the Kindergarten Science Standards. Bismarck has been using the NGSS for two years in anticipation of the state adopting these as the new science standards. Of the 291 overall standards the state keep 223 the same, while making verbiage changes to 55. Plus the state dropped 7 standards while adding 6 new standards.

For kindergarten those were 12 the same with 4 verbiage changes.

Below is a table showing the all the standards: So if you click on the Identifiers in the first column of the chart below, the Standards Glossary Term will display in a pop-up. The last column will list the type of change to the standard. You will notice a change to the Proficiency Scales to be a colored responsive grid that corresponds with the new Visual Graphics Standards Progress Report that uses dots with a target range. So there may need to be discussions on how those could populated with your new scales.
