You can provide input by doing the following:

1. Review the current standards (MS Word) (pdf)
   
   
2. Share your input using the MDE's Online Feedback Form.

Input must be received by Thrusday, February 21.

Any interested person (parents, community members, administrators, school board, educators and so on) can provide input.

Watch for an opportunity to review a draft of the revised standards in May.
All of the above information is available at the MDE Science Standards page.
