Inquisitive aligns its PreK-5 science curriculum to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and to each state's own science standards. This article explains how that alignment works and links to the standards crosswalk for each state we cover.
How standards crosswalks work
A crosswalk is a state-specific document that maps Inquisitive lessons directly to that state's science learning standards. Each crosswalk includes:
NGSS-aligned Performance Expectations
Corresponding Inquisitive lesson learning targets
Direct links to Inquisitive units and activities
Use a crosswalk to find standards coverage, identify relevant content, and plan your school year.
