The K-12 Science Framework is the document that provides the guidelines for the science standards.
Engaging in the practices of science helps students understand how scientific knowledge develops; such direct involvement gives them an appreciation of the wide range of approaches that are used to investigate, model, and explain the world.
Engaging in the practices of engineering helps students understand the work of engineers, as well as the links between engineering and science. The crosscutting concepts are fundamental to an understanding of science and engineering and provide students with an organizational framework for connecting knowledge from the various disciplines into a coherent and scientifically based view of the world.
