We have not started cc in science this year. There was some glitch in the textbooks so they had to delay.
The science standards were developed separately from math and english.... They enlisted a panel including actual scientists to devise a framework for the standards, and then started working on the standards. Due to this process, the science standards are not yet complete. They released a draft in May 2012 for public comment and are now revising. Oh, and for some reason they are not called "common core" officially, but rather "
Next Generation Science Standards." But functionally they are common core for science.
