Science standards

My question is where are the exact science standards defined? Answer:

1. Project 2061 by American Association for the Advancement of Science - For the big idea on forces and motion, pick 4, then D.
2. Australian Learning Progressions - Are standards online?
3. National Science Foundation Educational Standards.

There's been very little change over the last few years. The current state/federal partnership to update them will involve lowering the number of benchmarks to increased focus on the big ideas!
