The Science Framework for California Public Schools bundles the Performance Expectations for each K-5 grade level into Instructional Segments. Instructional Segments are presented as one way to organize (bundle) Performance Expectations into teachable units.
The NGSS Performance Expectations were originally organized by either disciplinary core idea or topic arrangement. GoogleDocs of each arrangement are available by clicking on the grade level links in the corresponding sections below.
