Every year of Amplify Science K–5 consists of 3–4 units, with each unit containing 20 lessons plus two full-session assessments (a Pre-Unit Assessment and End-of-Unit Assessment). Kindergarten and grade 1 lessons are written for 45-minute sessions, and grades 2–5 lessons are written for 60-minute sessions — though teachers can expand or contract the timing to meet their needs.
STEMscopes is the adopted 6th grade science curriculum and is expected to be implemented with fidelity. Science is an essential component of a well-rounded education, and consistent use of the curriculum provides students with the foundational knowledge and skills they need to be successful as they transition to middle school.

Through a collaborative effort with the Los Angeles County Office of Education, Authentic Tasks for Learning and Assessment in Science (ATLAS) became live in January 2026.
ATLAS is a free online bank of over 1300 performance tasks for grades K–12.
These authentic tasks engage students in sensemaking and are aligned to the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS).
