Oregon Science Standards (adopted February 2009)

The 2009 Science standards are divided into four **core standards**:
 * Structure and Function
 * Interaction and Change
 * Scientific Inquiry
 * Engineering Design



For each grade, each of these core standards has up to four different **content standards** that the students are expected to learn in that grade.
