About the Utah Science Curriculum
How Utah SEEd Works
Utah sets its own science standards through the SEEd framework, organizing content around phenomena-based learning from Kindergarten through 10th grade.
How Utah Differs
Utah adopted its own SEEd framework in 2015, emphasizing engineering design at every grade level rather than treating it as a separate strand.
How Utah Science Progresses
Students build from Kindergarten life and earth science through integrated middle school courses, finishing in 9th and 10th grade science.
How Utah Assesses Science
Utah administers the RISE Science assessment in selected grades, with Utah SEEd standards forming the basis for all tested skills.
