1 XVI. Science and Technology/Engineering, Grade 5
2 Grade 5 Science and Technology/Engineering Test The spring 2013 grade 5 Science and Technology/Engineering test was based on learning standards in the four major content strands in the Massachusetts Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework (2006) listed below. Page numbers for the grades 3 5 learning standards appear in parentheses. Earth and Space Science (Framework, pages 26 29) Life Science (Biology) (Framework, pages 46 49) Physical Sciences (Chemistry and Physics) (Framework, pages 64 66) Technology/Engineering (Framework, page 86) The Science and Technology/Engineering Curriculum Framework is available on the Department website at Science and Technology/Engineering test results are reported under four MCAS reporting categories, which are identical to the four framework content strands listed above. Test Sessions The grade 5 Science and Technology/Engineering test included two separate test sessions. Each session included multiple-choice and open-response questions. Approximately half of the common test items are shown on the following pages as they appeared in test booklets. Reference Materials and Tools The use of bilingual word-to-word dictionaries was allowed for current and former English language learner students only, during both Science and Technology/Engineering test sessions. No other reference tools or materials were allowed. Cross-Reference Information The tables at the conclusion of this chapter indicate each released and unreleased common item s reporting category and the framework learning standard it assesses. The correct answers for released multiple-choice questions are also displayed in the released item table. 287
