Back to Curriculum Matrix

Our new science curriculum is based on a multi-year review and analysis of the Curriculum Topic Study materials by our K-12 science curriculum team. The Benchmarks for Science Literacy form the basis for the benchmarks that are set for each grade level.  The bold-faced standards are the MDIRSS essential standards and the standards in regular font are supporting standards. Click on the green bold-faced MDIRSS essential standards to see the unpacked version, list of resources, and corresponding rubric for that standard.
