About the Montana Science Curriculum
How Montana Content Standards Works
Montana sets its own science standards through the Montana Content Standards, organizing expectations by grade band and covering life, earth, and physical science strands.
How Montana Differs
Montana's standards incorporate local environmental contexts, including its distinct ecosystems, making earth and life science topics more regionally grounded than many other states.
How Montana Science Progresses
Students build from foundational observations in Kindergarten through structured inquiry in 8th grade, then continue into integrated 9th and 10th grade science courses.
How Montana Assesses Science
Montana assesses science through the Montana CAA, with testing in select grades, and students may also pursue science coursework supporting college readiness preparation.
