Science_CVP_Grade_5_Second_Set_of_Lesson_Tests_2012

About the Tests:Since its first edition in 2004, the Science CVP workbook contained a test aftereach lesson. Each test was designed to be a quick, TEKS based assessmentteachers could use to determine mastery of the lesson. As the popularity of theCVP workbook continued to rise, requests for a second set of tests increased. Inlater additions, a second set of tests was included in the book. Beginning in2011, the second set of tests was expanded, revised using the format of theSTAAR, and delivered separately from the CVP workbook.The newest edition of the weekly lesson tests include many brand new, neverbefore seen questions, and over half of the questions on each test incorporateprocess skills. These tests can be used as common assessments for a campusor district to determine mastery of sets of skills in the Grade 5 Science TEKS.The latest information about STAAR and STAAR type items was used to createthe newest questions on each test as well as questions incorporating processskills.These tests are available only to campuses that have purchased CVP workbooksfor each fifth grade student. For qualifying campuses, the set of test is providedat no cost and can only be obtained by requesting it from Forde-Ferrier, L.L.C.Requests can be made by email through our website (the test will be sent as adigital PDF file, so don’t forget to include a return email address in yourrequest). Use of these tests without purchasing the Grade 5 CVP workbooks forevery student in fifth grade during the same school year is prohibited.© Forde-Ferrier, L.L.C. Page 1
