Correlation of GEMS to the State
of California Science Content Standards, Grades 3–5
Please note that while many of the titles listed here
can be used in grades other than grades 3–5, ONLY standards for
those grades are correlated on this page. Correlations to standards
in other grade ranges can be accessed by returning to the California
Standards Correlation Page.
Where a "+" is shown, the title provides comprehensive coverage
of the standard.
