Students will be learning specific science strategies to use when test taking for any science test in my classroom, including the TAKS test. SUPER strategies! Each child will make his/her own bookmark with these strategies this six weeks.

TEA (Texas Educational Agency) is one of the best places to get information. Please feel free to use any information from this website; EXCEPT the online test from 2004/2006 testing.

A great TAKS review website includes great information about what is expected in fifth grade and what can be tested on the TAKS test (since students are tested on TEKS from 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades). This site is not managed by me, but by another teacher. Our district coordinator has provided this link for our use. TAKS WEBSITE

Flashcards are a great way to review vocabulary we used in my lessons/units. A friend of mine has put these together until I get my own set up online!

FLASHCARDS- EARTH SCIENCE

FLASHCARDS- SCIENTIFIC PROCESSES

FLASHCARDS- NATURE OF SCIENCE

FLASHCARDS- LIFE SCIENCE

FLASHCARDS- ECOSYSTEMS

FLASHCARDS- PHYSICAL SCIENCE (not online at this time)

TAKS Study Guide is helpful for parents to better understand the way the testing process is setup and how concepts are broken down by objective for each tested area (math, reading, and science). Do to lack of server space you will need to download the .pdf file and print.
