  2. The Science SOL documents may be found in one location. Science Standards Science SOL Curriculum Frameworks are listed by grade level Blueprints Additional Resources http://www.doe.virginia.gov/testing/sol/standards_docs/science/review.shtml

  3. Science SOL Curriculum Framework The Science Standards of Learning Curriculum Framework amplifies the Science Standards of Learning for Virginia Public Schools and defines the content knowledge, skills, and understandings that are measured by the Standards of Learning tests. The Science Curriculum Framework provides additional guidance to school divisions and their teachers as they develop an instructional program appropriate for their students. It assists teachers as they plan their lessons by identifying essential understandings and defining the essential content knowledge, skills, and processes students need to master. This supplemental framework delineates in greater specificity the minimum content that all teachers should teach and all students should learn.

  4. Anatomy of the Science SOL Curriculum Framework Understanding the Standard (K-5) This section includes background information for the teacher. It contains content that may extend the teachers’ knowledge of the standard beyond the current grade level. This section may also contain suggestions and resources that will help teachers plan instruction focusing on the standard. Essential Understandings (middle and high school) This section delineates the key concepts, ideas and scientific relationships that all students should grasp to demonstrate an understanding of the Standards of Learning. Essential Knowledge, Skills and Processes (K-12) Each standard is expanded in the Essential Knowledge, Skills, and Processes column. What each student should know and be able to do in each standard is outlined. This is not meant to be an exhaustive list nor a list that limits what is taught in the classroom. It is meant to be the key knowledge and skills that define the standard.

  7. Anatomy of the Science SOL Curriculum Framework The overview offers the teacher an explanation of the standard as well as where it is connected to previous grade levels or subjects.

  8. Anatomy of the Science SOL Curriculum Framework K-6 Strand Description Description of the strand content Grade level progression

  9. Coming August 2012 Science SOL Enhanced Scope and Sequence • Provides teachers with sample lesson plans aligned with the Curriculum Framework. • Lesson plans representative of the Science SOL. • Lessons are available in a drop-down menu by grade band and strand.

  10. The Crosswalk offers a detailed explanation between the 2010 and 2003 Science Standards of Learning.

  11. Science SOL Crosswalk between 2010 and 2003 Standards New content is identified Items moved to the Curriculum Framework Minor changes indicated

  12. VDOE Science SOL Assessment

  13. VDOE Science SOL Assessment Science SOL Test Blueprints

  14. VDOE Science SOL Assessment Periodic Table of the Elements

  15. VDOE Science SOL Assessment Practice Items Practice Guides

  16. VDOE Science SOL Assessment Technology Enhanced Items (TEIs) Technology-enhanced items (TEI) provide a platform for increased rigor represented by the 2010 Standards of Learning (SOL). Technology-enhanced items allow students to indicate their responses in a format other than multiple-choice. • Technology Enhanced Item Types • Drag and Drop • Hot Spot • Graphs • Fill-in-the-Blank

  17. SOL Resources and Professional Development

  18. SOL Resources and Professional Development 2010 Science SOL Institute Resources In October 2010, four Science SOL institutes were provided throughout Virginia. The materials from those institutes are provided on the VDOE website at http://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/science/professional_development/index.shtml.
