Title: 2nd Grade Science Standards Glossary
Course: BPSS (SCI) Science Standards > Section: Shared Workspace > Forum: Science Standards Discussions ...

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

- SCI-02.ESS2.01
NEW Compare and contrast multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land.
OLD Compare multiple solutions designed to slow or prevent wind or water from changing the shape of the land.

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 2nd Grade Science Standards Glossary: Below is a list of those edits:

Second Draft Edits
Standard / Edit | 1st Draft | 2nd Draft
SCI-02.LS2.01 dropped conduct | Plan and conduct an investigation to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow. | Plan and investigate to determine if plants need sunlight and water to grow

Overview of all the changes with the 2nd Grade 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 2nd Grade Science all 17 standards remained the same

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.
