How We Meet Science Education Standards

Numerous science standards and benchmarks are discussed and met throughout our entire complement of programming. Below is a comprehensive database of all of our programs that specifically explain which standards are met by each program. The degree of discussion is ranked on a scale with a 1 being a main topic of the program, a 2 means it is covered in detail; while a 3 means it is briefly discussed during the program. Our entire library of programming has been evaluated in this way, for the state science standards and benchmarks of Ohio and Michigan, as well as the Toledo Diocese guidelines. To get more information about Ohio's K-12 Science standards, click here (pdf)
