Since the adoption of Iowa’s new science standards in August
2015, Iowa educators have been engaged in learning about the structure,
foundations, and conceptual shifts of the new standards.
The Iowa
Department of Education is sponsoring day-long science institutes June

will engage in three-dimensional science learning experiences and will explore
various resources and instructional practices that support the standards.
