About the Arizona Science Curriculum
How Arizona Science Standards (2018) Works
Arizona sets its own science standards, organized around disciplinary core ideas, science practices, and crosscutting concepts from Kindergarten through 10th grade.
How Arizona Differs
Arizona adopted its own 2018 Science Standards rather than using NGSS directly, introducing engineering design practices at every grade level starting in Kindergarten.
How Arizona Science Progresses
Students move from foundational earth and life science in early grades through matter and energy in middle school, into integrated 9th and 10th grade science.
How Arizona Assesses Science
AzSCI tests are administered in 5th and 8th grade, with science assessed again in high school, based on real exams drawn from the Arizona Science Standards (2018).
