What is Study Island?
Study Island is an online program to help students master standards that will be assessed on the 8th grade Science PSSA.
Benchmark Test
- Students were given a test to determine mastery of the Science PSSA 8th grade standards recently. The results of this benchmark test were used to determine what standards your child needs to practice.
- It is essential to know that Nature of Science is 50% of the Science PSSA, therefore any student who did not earn 70% in this topic will be assigned lessons to address those standards first.
- Students who earned 70% or higher in Nature of Science were assigned lesson in the topic with the lowest score (Biological Science, Physical Science, Earth/Space Science).
- All students received a paper with their scores in each topic.
