Course Overview:
In the 5th Grade Science STAAR® Study Guide, students review science content TEKS in the STAAR®- tested reporting categories. The Study Guide also includes two STAAR®-like Practice Tests. The Tests are the same length as the STAAR® Test with the corresponding number of questions for each category. When scoring the Test, each question is associated with a category. Students and teachers can determine if students are struggling or excelling in certain categories and redo the questions in the Study Guide for a particular category.
