Benchmarks for Science Literacy

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

AAAS' Benchmarks for Science Literacy outlines learning goals that educators can use to incorporate science literacy into core curricula and assess students' science literacy skills. The benchmarks were developed as part of Project 2061 — a long-term research and development initiative to improve science education for everyone in the United States.
