Abstract
What to include and what to leave out of chemsitry curriculum, with good conscience, is a difficult decision for most teachers. As chemistry textbooks get bigger, teachers feel pressure to include more and more content. This situation also is fueled by the uncertainty of the standardized tests that students will take. The purpose of this article is to summarize four recent documents that identify what is deemed essential in chemistry at grades 8 and 12 and to identify areas of agreement and disagreement among the sources.
