Assessment
ACT Aspire is replacing Benchmark Assessment for grades 5,7, and EOC. Science will be administering the ACT Aspire Assessment in grades 3-10 beginning in the 2015-2016 school year. The ACT Aspire will focus on student understanding of how science works and less about recall of science facts. The ACT Aspire tests for grades 3-10 assess science in three categories: · Interpretation of Data · Scientific Investigation · Evaluation of Models, Inferences and Experimental results. |
