New York State P-12 Science Learning Standards

NYSSLS science standards

The four high school course maps that culminate in a Regents examination. Each performance expectation below carries the official NYSED statement, its clarification statement and assessment boundary, and the three dimensions it assesses. Chemistry also carries summaries of the NYS performance levels.

Where these facts come from

Statements, clarification statements and assessment boundaries are transcribed from the NYSED course maps and the New York State P-12 Science Learning Standards. The cluster conventions — item counts, the share of multiple choice, stimulus length and how each course refers to its figures — are measured directly from released Regents examinations rather than assumed, because they differ by course. ScienceIQ generates practice material to match them.
