About the Maine Science Curriculum
How Maine Learning Results Works
The Maine Learning Results set the science standards for the state, organizing expectations by grade band from Kindergarten through 10th grade.
How Maine Differs
Maine uses NGSS-aligned science standards and runs an annual Through Year assessment, spreading testing across the school year rather than a single end-of-year exam.
How Maine Science Progresses
Students move from foundational life and earth science in early grades through integrated inquiry-based courses in 6th through 10th grade.
How Maine Assesses Science
Maine administers the Through Year Science assessment, with science tested at select grade levels based on real exam expectations under the Maine Learning Results.
