"Texas
Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) are revised science curriculum
objectives. The Science TEKS: provide clear concise statements of
what is expected to be learned; allow room for local schools and
teachers to make decisions about how to teach specified content;
focus on fewer topics in greater depth at each grade level; provide
students with the skills to solve complex problems related to the
world outside of school; provide content depth to ensure students'
understanding of science in Grades K-12; move cautiously, but meaningfully,
toward a world-class system that develops Texas students as competent,
technologically-literate problem solvers." - TEKS
