**We will continue to review previous concepts the whole year to maintain understanding of concepts.
We take our (online) science tests two times each unit. We take the first test, then review/remediate for several days and re-test (different questions). Your child's test grade will be the BETTER score (not an average). Your child will find out his/her grade after both tests are taken. We take tests two times to help better prepare for the EOG, by encountering as many EOG-type questions as we can throughout the year. Most questions are application questions, not strict memorization of concepts. The more practice we have, the better!
Science will be tested at the end of the year online as an EOG. Our 5th grade science scores have been among the top in the county the past couple years!
