Space for Schools: Ohio
Ohio's own science codes, from K.ESS.2 to the high school Universe topics, each matched to a free lesson page with live data, tools and worksheets.
Last updated . Curriculum links last reviewed November 2026.
What Ohio uses
Checked November 2026Ohio's Learning Standards for Science, adopted in 2018, with the model curriculum from 2019. Ohio writes its own content statements, coded by grade, strand and number, such as 5.ESS.2. High school space topics sit in Physical Science (PS.U, The Universe) and Physics.
Cleveland is home to NASA's Glenn Research Center.
