Important notice for states that assess Science: The 2025–2026 school year is a transition year for DLM science. The two science tabs below are included to help with this transition.
- The "Science" tab contains the original set of science Essential Elements, which are used for the spring 2026 operational assessment testlets
- Go to the "Science - Spring 2027" tab for the revised and expanded set of science Essential Elements, which will be the bases for the testlets in the embedded science field test in spring 2026 and the operational science testlets in the spring 2027 DLM Science Alternate Assessment.
