What are the
similarities, what are the differences? How do these reflect differences
in philosophy or scientific emphasis?
For one or two cases with noted differences, how might these differences
influence the development of a broadly disseminated curriculum unit?
(In cases where the state standards are written in very general form, you
might also want to consider the benchmarks associated with these standards
when formulating your answer).
