Strands and building blocks come from: KMK, Weiterentwickelte Bildungsstandards in den Naturwissenschaften für das Fach Biologie (MSA), Beschluss vom 16.12.2004 i.d.F. vom 13.06.2024 · The map as data (JSON)

How to read the map

Strand · a column: A part of the subject that runs over several school years.
Building block · a box: One thing a child can learn: “I can …”.
Grade band · a row: Roughly when a building block is taught. Choose a curriculum to see its grades.
App · the colour: Blue means covered: an app practises the building block. Dashed means a gap: no app practises it yet.

You see the grade band: roughly in which two school years a building block is taught. Each German state sets this a little differently. Choose a curriculum, and the map sorts the building blocks by its grades.
