  5. SC-Alt Science and Social Studies • SC-Alt will continue to be used for science and social studies for the 2015 administration. • SC-Alt eligible students ages 9-13 (grades 4-8) will take both science and social studies. • SC-Alt eligible students age 8 (grade 3) will take either science or social studies. • The SCDE will begin developing extended standards or a support guide aligned to the 2014 science standards this year.

  6. SC-Alt Science and Social Studies • SC-Alt biology will be administered to SC-Alt eligible students at age 16 (grade 11) beginning with the 2016 administration. • SC-Alt biology will not be administered in 2015 as this cohort of students met their science requirement in 2014.
