Science Webpage Update
The science unit has reimagined the landing page on our DESE Website. Each grade level can now quickly access their standards documents, fundamental content documents, and assessment blueprints. There are also webinars posted containing information on the ATLAS science interims, and the new fundamental content documents. These newly created supplemental documents accompany the Arkansas K-12 Science standards, and clearly indicate the content that students should know by the end of each grade level or course K-12. #thinkcoop1st.
