A. The science Extended Standards (ESs) align with the Louisiana Science Framework (1997). The science ESs address benchmarks from all five content strands for grades 4 and 8 and three content strands for grade 11 as outlined in the framework document.
B;. The five Louisiana science content standards are broad goals for what all students in Louisiana should know and be able to do in science. In the Louisiana Science Framework , standards are based on the five science strands. That is, each standard represents one of the five strands. The strands and their respective abbreviated codes are science as inquiry (SI), physical science (PS), life science (LS), earth and space science (ESS), and science and the environment (SE). There is one process strand, science as inquiry, and four content strands. This organization into strands does not imply that science must be taught in separate isolated units. In fact, teachers are encouraged to teach integrated, interdisciplinary units of study.
