    11. NJ ASK – Science Standard 9 – Astronomy and Space Science Strand Earth, Moon, Sun System Solar System Stars Galaxies and Universe

    12. NJ ASK – Science Standard 10 – Environmental Studies Strand Natural Systems and Interactions Human Interactions and Impact

    13. NJ ASK – Science Concentration by Percentage 40% Life Science – Life / Environmental 30% Physical – Chemistry / Physics 30% Earth – Geographical systems / Astronomy

    14. NJ ASK – Science Operational in 2005 4 sections – M/C & OE Each section consists of 10 M/C items and 1 OE item Total number of items – 40 M/C and 4 OE Time - 1 hour

    15. NJ ASK – Science Content Coordinator for New Jersey’s five science assessments – NJ ASK, GEPA, HSPA, SRA, and APA Coordinate meetings with teacher groups Collaborate with test contractors – ETS and Riverside (NJ ASK4), NCS Pearson (GEPA), Measurement Incorporated (HSPA)

    16. NJ ASK – Science Made up of NJ certified science teachers, curriculum supervisors, and college professor

    17. NJ ASK – Science Item Development Review of items (M/C & OE) that have been supplied by the test contractor Questions are reviewed for age and grade appropriateness, science content errors, and grammar and punctuation correctness

    18. NJ ASK – Science Life Physical Earth Standard 5.5 and 5.10 Standard 5.6 and 5.7 Standard 5.8 and 5.9

    19. NJ ASK – Science Preparing for the NJ ASK Knowledge of the CCCS Test Specifications (on NJDOE web site) Curriculum Mapping Utilize sample science items for each cluster (i.e. M/C & OE)

    20. NJ ASK – Science Standards/Test Specifications/Matrix Standards – reflect fundamental basis for learning science Test Specifications – an outline of specific content knowledge and application Matrix – a flow chart for designing assessment items

    21. NJ ASK – Science Standards & Strands/Test Specifications Standard : 5.5 – pg. 181, B1 B. Diversity and Biological Evolution 1. Develop a simple classification scheme for grouping animals

    22. NJ ASK – Science Standards & Strands/Test Specifications Test Specifications : 5.5, pg. 7, B1, 2, 3 Explains how organism can be classified – observable characteristics (i.e. size, color, shape)

    23. NJ ASK – Science Classification Activities Grouping Things stamps coins nails buttons

    24. NJ ASK – Science Standards & Strands/Test Specifications Standard : 5.6 – pg. 184, B1 Chemical reactions “Combine one or more materials and show that the new material may have properties different from the original material.”

    25. NJ ASK – Science Standards & Strands/Test Specifications Test Specifications Give specific examples of different chemical reactions (Standard 5.6, p9, B1, 2, 3)

    26. NJ ASK – Science Chemical Reaction Activities Cooking an egg Making a cake Bubble/Bubble (baking soda) CO2 Vinegar Lemon juice Buttermilk Orange Juice

    27. NJ ASK – Science Item Development Matrix Non-content (knowledge & application) areas of the matrix Content (life, physical, & earth) areas of the matrix Arranged into cells

    28. NJ ASK – Science Item Development Matrix Factual Knowledge – contain only knowledge (based on 5.2 & 5.4) embedded in content Standards 5.5 – 5.10 Application – contain skills (based on 5.1 & 5.3) embedded in content Standards 5.5 – 5.10

    29. NJ ASK – Science

    34. NJ ASK – Science Open-Ended Questions Five minutes to answer each OE question Responses may be written, in tables, or as graphs or drawings Responses must be in English

    35. NJ ASK – Science General Scoring Guide Hand scored on a scale of 0 – 3 3-points: Student response is reasonably complete, clear and satisfactory 2-points: Student response has minor omissions and some incorrect information

    36. NJ ASK – Science General Scoring Guide – cont’d 1-point: Student response includes correct information, but most is incorrect or not relevant 0-points: Task attempted, but is incorrect
