About the Indiana Science Curriculum
How Indiana Academic Standards Works
Indiana sets its own science standards, organizing content by disciplinary core ideas across each grade from Kindergarten through 10th grade.
How Indiana Differs
Indiana maintains its own Academic Standards for Science rather than adopting NGSS directly, giving the state control over its own scope and sequence.
How Indiana Science Progresses
Students move from foundational earth and life concepts in the early grades through integrated physical, life, and earth science in middle and high school.
How Indiana Assesses Science
ILEARN Science tests students in 4th and 6th grade, with additional end-of-course assessments supporting college readiness in the upper grades.
