NOTICE: The Science Core Experiments are the work of Utah science teachers. These activities were developed under the direction of five district consortiums. They are sets of Experiments and Inquiries that provide instructional activities aligned to the Science Core Curriculum. They are currently in DRAFT form. We encourage you to review these activities and provide comment. The critieria for evaluation is included in the evaluation link below. Feel free to fill this form out and send it in to Brett Moulding, Utah State Office of Education, 250 East 500 South, Salt Lake City, UT 84111.
