A message from MDE Science Specialist Angie Kolonich :

Hello everyone,

I am writing to let you know that our final versions of the 2019 Minnesota Academic Standards in Science have recently been updated. The PDF versions of our 2019 Academic Standards in Science were missing one final benchmark on the last page - Physics Benchmark 9P.4.2.1.2. This benchmark was (and is still) listed on the spreadsheet versions of the standards documents, but it was cut off of both PDF versions.

I am happy to announce that both PDF versions of our standards documents have been updated to include this benchmark, and are now uploaded to both our Academic Standards, Science, and Academic Standards, Science Implementation pages. I am also including a copy of our "Updated 2019 Minnesota Academic Standards in Science with Examples and Emphasis Statements" here for your convenience. If you are using a downloaded PDF version of our 2019 Standards document, please replace it with the updated version. 

I hope that you are all having a great week, and please reach out if you have questions. 

Angie Kolonich
