  1. General Overview Elementary Science

  2. Task Names - Elementary • 1- Structure and Properties of Matter • 2- Chemical and Physical Changes • 3- Fundamental Forces and Motions • 4- Interaction of Energy and Matter • 5- Organism Characteristics and Needs • 6- Transmission of Traits • 7- Interdependence of Organisms in Environment • 8- Diversity of Species and Adaptation • 9- Structure of Earth and Material Use • 10- Change in Lithosphere, Hydrosphere, Atmosphere • 11- Earth, Sun, Moon

  3. Administration – Big Picture • Task Content • Pre-requisite Skills • Content Prompts • Materials Preparation • Scoring • Anticipations and Possibilities • Role Play

  4. Task Content- Elementary • Tasks 1, 2, 3, 4: Matter, Chemical change, Force, Energy • Tasks 5, 6, 7, 8: Organisms, Traits, Environment, Adaptation • Tasks 9, 10, 11: Earth, Atmosphere, Moon, Sun

  5. Pre-requisite Skills-Elementary • Each of the pre-requisites for each task have a similar sequence of difficulty • All can be answered by pointing or communicating when the assessor is touching the correct item • Task 6, pre-requisite #5 needs the student materials from task 5

  6. Content Prompts- Elementary • Picture prompts are used for all items in each of the 11 tasks • All items in Tasks 1, 5, 8, 9, 11 can be answered by pointing • Tasks 2, 3, 6, 10 have sequencing items • Tasks 4 and 7 require verbal or written responses

  7. Materials Preparation- Elem. • Task 1 - need to provide objects • Tasks 2, 3, 6, 10 have student materials to cut out (for sequencing) could point instead for some students

  8. Science General Scoring • Full credit • Partial Credit • Exceptions • Open-ended questions: • Typically any one specific thing related to the answer will count as 2 points • The answer should always be related to the construct (title) of the task

  9. Anticipations and PossibilitiesElementary • Pointing by student to pictures - majority of responses in elementary science • Tasks 4 and 7 are the most difficult • Graphics will be available with the final version of the assessment

  10. Standard Administration and Scaffold Administration • Materials • Exercises

  11. General Overview Middle/High Science

  12. Task Names - Middle/High • 1- Changes of State • 2- Force, Mass, and Motion • 3- Force/Gravity • 4- Types of Energy/Transformations • 5- Organisms/Structure • 6- Energy Flow, Photosynthesis/Organisms • 7- Heredity • 8- Evolution, Selection, and Adaptation • 9- Scientific Inquiry and Understanding • 10- The Earth, Tectonics, and Climate • 11- The Earth in Space, Water Cycle, Resources

  13. Task Content- Middle/High • Tasks 1-3: Liquid, Solid-Changes, Force, Motion, Gravity • Tasks 4-6: Energy, Photosynthesis, Organisms • Tasks 7-8: Heredity, Evolution • Task 9: Scientific Inquiry • Tasks 10-11: Earth, Climate, Resources

  14. Pre-requisite Skills- Middle/High • Each of the pre-requisites for each task have a similar sequence of difficulty • All can be answered by pointing or communicating when the assessor is touching the correct item • Task 2, pre-requisite #4 add to direction: or show/tell me when I roll a pencil.

  15. Content Prompts- Middle/High • Picture prompts are used for the majority of items • Tasks 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 10 have three or more pointing items per task • Tasks 2, 6, 8, 11 require more verbal or substitute means of answering questions

  16. Content Prompts- Middle/High • Rating of the Difficulty of Tasks (based on initial content review): • Easier: Tasks 3, 5 • Medium: Tasks 7, 10 • Difficult: Tasks 1, 2, 4, 9, 11 • Very Difficult: Tasks 6, 8

  17. Science General Scoring • Full credit • Partial Credit • Exceptions • Open-ended questions: • Typically any one specific thing related to the answer will count as 2 points • The answer should always be related to the construct (title) of the task

  18. Materials Preparation- Middle/High • Nothing to cut out except for possibly Task 3 item 5 • Need to provide a book for Task 2

  19. Anticipations and PossibilitiesMiddle/High • Content Prompts: of the 55 questions, 32 responses by students can be pointing to the correct picture • Because of the constructs of the grade level standards, this assessment may be more challenging for students • Graphics will be available with the final version

  20. Standard Administration and Scaffold Administration • Materials • Exercises
