4-H logoN.J. Core Curriculum Content Standards


Content Area: Visual and Performing Arts

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. For more information about the NJ Core Curriculum Content Standards, visit the New Jersey Department of Education web site: http://www.state.nj.us/njded/cccs/
