4 Science SOL Curriculum Framework The Science Standards of
Learning Curriculum Framework amplifies the Science Standards of
Learning for Virginia Public Schools and defines the content
knowledge, skills, and understandings that are measured by the
Standards of Learning tests. The Science Curriculum Framework
provides additional guidance to school divisions and their teachers
as they develop an instructional program appropriate for their
students. It assists teachers as they plan their lessons by
identifying essential understandings and defining the essential
content knowledge, skills, and processes students need to master.
This supplemental framework delineates in greater specificity the
minimum content that all teachers should teach and all students
should learn.

5 Anatomy of the Science SOL Curriculum Framework Understanding
the Standard (K-5) This section includes background information for
the teacher. It contains content that may extend the teachers
knowledge of the standard beyond the current grade level. This
section may also contain suggestions and resources that will help
teachers plan instruction focusing on the standard. Essential
Understandings (middle and high school) This section delineates the
key concepts, ideas and scientific relationships that all students
should grasp to demonstrate an understanding of the Standards of
Learning. Essential Knowledge, Skills and Processes (K-12) Each
standard is expanded in the Essential Knowledge, Skills, and
Processes column. What each student should know and be able to do
in each standard is outlined. This is not meant to be an exhaustive
list nor a list that limits what is taught in the classroom. It is
meant to be the key knowledge and skills that define the
standard.

Fill-in-the-Blank Technology-enhanced items (TEI) provide a
platform for increased rigor represented by the 2010 Standards of
Learning (SOL). Technology-enhanced items allow students to
indicate their responses in a format other than
multiple-choice.
