Introduction to Lemurs. The Lemur is the smallest of all primates and very few people even realize that they belong to this particular type of animal. Early evolution shows that they were once as large as an adult gorilla though. This is based on fossil remains that are millions of years old.
Background information for a science project should come at the beginning of any written report or materials. If you write a multisection paper, place the background information in the introduction before you delve into the experiment. if you display the project at a school fair or science event, include the background information on a display board.
No. The Common Core State Standards (PDF) include literacy components in science, but they do not include the content that are the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS). However, the CA NGSS are aligned with the CCSS in English Language Arts (PDF) and the CCSS for Mathematics (PDF). Within the CA NGSS are tables explaining the alignment with the CCSS. A pre-publication version of the CA NGSS can be found online on the NGSS for California Public Schools, K-12 Web page.
