Grade 5 Georgia Test Preparation Workbook - Macmillan/McGraw-Hill

Transcription

Introduction
Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Georgia Standards Test Preparation in Science
is a comprehensive program designed to familiarize students with
standardized testing and to review the concepts covered in Macmillan/
McGraw-Hill Georgia Science.
About This Book
The questions in this book will accustom students in a grade-appropriate
manner with standardized testing and the Georgia science standards,
in preparation for the Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency tests
(CRCT).
• Correlation Chart: This chart illustrates how the Georgia science
standards covered in this book coincide with chapters and lessons in
Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Georgia Science.
• Diagnostic Tests: The diagnostic tests are helpful tools designed to
simulate the statewide test that students will be taking. Each test is
comprised of multiple-choice questions that cover the span of Georgia
science standards. These science standards are tested in the same
format and proportions that students will likely see on the actual CRCT
Science test.
• Standards Tests: The practice tests give students the opportunity to
answer questions that focus on a particular standard and the indicators
that comprise each standard. The practice test questions assess
Life Science, Earth Science, or Physical Science standards and also
focus on the importance of the Characteristics of Science standards,
which are emphasized in each of the tests. These tests can be used as
pretests and posttests, chapter tests, homework assignments, or as
extra practice.
How to Administer the Practice Tests
• Remove the practice test pages from the book and photocopy them
for students. Answers are marked in non-reproducible blue ink for all
questions.
• Separate students’ desks so that students can work independently.
• Tell students that they are taking a practice test and ask them to remove
everything from their desks except for several pencils. They may not
speak to classmates until the test is over.
• Keep the classroom atmosphere as much like the administration of a
standardized test as possible. Minimize distractions and discourage
talking.

• Instruct students to mark their answers directly on test pages.

Standards and Indicators
Characteristics of Science—Habits of Mind
S5CS1. Students will be aware of the importance of curiosity, honesty,
openness, and skepticism in science and will exhibit these traits in their
own efforts to understand how the world works.
Chapter in Macmillan/
McGraw-Hill Georgia
Science
Characteristics of
Science standards are
featured throughout
the book.
a. Keep records of investigations and observations and do not alter the
records later.
b. Carefully distinguish observations from ideas and speculation about
those observations.
c. Offer reasons for findings and consider reasons suggested by others.
d. Take responsibility for understanding the importance of being safety
conscious.
S5CS2. Students will have the computation and estimation skills
necessary for analyzing data and following scientific explanations.
a. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers mentally, on paper,
and with a calculator.
b. Use fractions and decimals, and translate between decimals and
commonly encountered fractions—halves, thirds, fourths, fifths, tenths, and
hundredths (but not sixths, sevenths, and so on)—in scientific calculations.
c. Judge whether measurements and computations of quantities, such as
length, area, volume, weight, or time, are reasonable answers to scientific
problems by comparing them to typical values.
S5CS3. Students will use tools and instruments for observing, measuring,
and manipulating objects in scientific activities.
a. Choose appropriate common materials for making simple mechanical
constructions and repairing things.
b. Measure and mix dry and liquid materials in prescribed amounts,
exercising reasonable safety.
c. Use computers, cameras, and recording devices for capturing
information.
d. Identify and practice accepted safety procedures in manipulating
science materials and equipment.
S5CS4. Students will use ideas of system, model, change, and scale in
exploring scientific and technological matters.
a. Observe and describe how parts influence one another in things with
many parts.
b. Use geometric figures, number sequences, graphs, diagrams, sketches,
number lines, maps, and stories to represent corresponding features of
objects, events, and processes in the real world. Identify ways in which the
representations do not match their original counterparts.
c. Identify patterns of change in things—such as steady, repetitive, or
irregular change—using records, tables, or graphs of measurements where
appropriate.

procedure.
Characteristics of
featured throughout
the book.
b. Make sketches to aid in explaining scientific procedures or ideas.
c. Use numerical data in describing and comparing objects and events.
d. Locate scientific information in reference books, back issues of
newspapers and magazines, CD-ROMs, and computer databases.

Characteristics of Science—The Nature of Science
S5CS7. Students will be familiar with the character of scientific
knowledge and how it is achieved.
a. Students will recognize that similar scientific investigations seldom
produce exactly the same results, which may differ due to unexpected
differences in whatever is being investigated, unrecognized differences
in the methods or circumstances of the investigation, or observational
uncertainties.

scientific inquiry.
a. Scientific investigations may take many different forms, including
observing what things are like or what is happening somewhere, collecting
specimens for analysis, and doing experiments.
b. Clear and active communication is an essential part of doing science. It
enables scientists to inform others about their work, expose their ideas to
criticism by other scientists, and stay informed about scientific discoveries
around the world.
