Science Tools Useful for Learning
Teachers may upload specific file types to specific folders found within this one. Some files (e.g., Weatherscope) may better belong to specific science content folders such as meteorology. Other files such as generic Excel files could be placed within the Spreadsheet folder. Of course I am thinking aloud here.
Hope all used some logic on placement. Have suggestions? Login and add a folder for specific file types that you would like to share.Please do not place any copyrighted materials in these folders. Notify archsupport@alcaweb.org, if there is any suspected copyright infringement.

PASS: Science
SCIENCE OVERVIEW ORGANIZATION
Notice: New Oklahoma PASS standards were released in April, 2011. For the 2011-2012 school year, 5th and 8th CRT and Biology EOI test scores are based on earlier version of PASS. These teachers should remain focused on the old standards. However, all remaining grade levels must teach toward the new standards in order to prepare them for testing during the 2012-2013 school year.
The Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS) are organized by Science Process and Inquiry Standards and Content Standards which include Physical Science, Life Science, and Earth/Space Science. They are arranged by grade level at Grades 1-8, and by course subject area at the high school level. Each standard is followed by two or more objectives to accomplish each standard. Students should be provided with science experiences at each grade level from all areas of the content standards. This integrated approach will provide students with a coordinated, coherent understanding of the necessary skills and knowledge of scientifically literate citizens.
The Oklahoma State Testing Program assesses the Science Priority Academic Student Skills (PASS) with a 5th and 8th grade criterion-referenced test and a Biology I End-of-Instruction test. All of these state level assessments are based on the standards in this document. After the standards for each of the tested grade levels is an Oklahoma Core Curriculum Test Blueprint. The blueprints show the approximate number of items and the approximate percent of the test for each standard and objective in this document that is assessed on the state level test.
The objectives presented in the “Science Processes and Inquiry” standards are included at all grade levels, because the understandings and abilities associated with these concepts need to be developed throughout a student’s educational experience.
The content standard areas (physical, life, earth/space) are designed to facilitate conceptual development by building on the content knowledge introduced at the Kindergarten level. Because each of the content standards subsumes the knowledge and skills of the other standards, they are designed to be used as a whole. Although material can be added to the content standards, using only a portion of the standards will leave gaps in the scientific understanding expected of students.
SCIENCE STANDARDS Grades 1 - 12
The science framework presented in this outline is what students should know, understand, and be able to do in the natural sciences. Students combine process and knowledge as they use scientific reasoning and critical thinking to develop their understanding of science. Inquiry builds conceptual bridges between process and scientific knowledge. Relevant use of developmentally appropriate technology facilitates the inquiry process.
The attainment of scientific literacy is the result of a sequential curriculum that is dependent on quality science teaching at each grade level beginning in prekindergarten. Quality science teaching requires direct, inquiry-oriented learning experiences that emphasize the processes of science and major science concepts. Consistent with national standards, fewer concepts in physical, life and earth/space sciences are explored while more emphasis is placed on in-depth understanding. The following standards provide a framework to achieve the above goals.
To access more information concerning these Science standards access the Oklahoma State Department of Education link to PASS.
