4-H logoN.J. Core Curriculum Content Standards


Content Area: Language Arts Literacy

To help NJ-based educators (whether in-school teachers, home-schooling parent-teachers, or others) meet learning objectives, effort has been made to connect Science Discovery Series educational activities with the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards set by the NJ Department of Education.

Below is a table which outlines the content standards met by educational lessons/activities contained in each SDS unit. The degree to which each standard is met will depend upon educational needs and objectives and are open for interpretation.
