What Idaho uses
Checked November 2026The Idaho Content Standards for Science took effect on July 1, 2022, under Idaho Code 33-118B. Idaho keeps the national performance expectations and writes each code with a dash and a dot, so 5-ESS1-1 becomes 5-ESS-1.1, and high school physics uses HS-PSP-1.4. Space appears in Grades 1 and 5, middle school and high school Earth and space science.
How to use this page
Find your code in the tables below. The lesson page has a lesson sequence, common misconceptions and questions with answers; the live tools and the worksheet open straight from the same row.
