CURRICULUM GUIDE
About the Louisiana Science Curriculum
How Louisiana Student Standards Works
The Louisiana Student Standards for science set grade-level expectations for life, earth, and physical science, organized by disciplinary core ideas from Kindergarten through 10th grade.
How Louisiana Differs
Louisiana structures its science sequence so that physical science concepts are introduced in the early elementary grades, a placement that some states reserve for middle school.
How Louisiana Science Progresses
Students move from hands-on Kindergarten observations through increasingly analytical middle school courses, finishing with integrated 9th and 10th grade science.
How Louisiana Assesses Science
LEAP Science tests are administered in 5th and 8th grade, with end-of-course assessments supporting college readiness for high school students.
