Reporting Categories
Below you will find tutorials on topics from 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade that will be tested on STAAR. That's right, the Science STAAR tests content from all three years. The reporting categories are as follows:
Reporting Category 1: Matter and Energy
Reporting Category 2: Force, Motion, and Energy
Reporting Category 3: Earth and Space
Reporting Category 4: Organisms and their Environment
Reporting Category 1- Matter and Energy

Reporting Category 2: Force, Motion and Energy
Reporting Category 2 is Force, Motion and Energy. Students need to be able to differentiate and give examples of potential and kinetic energy, define and give examples of unbalanced and balanced forces. Students need to distinguish between speed, velocity and acceleration and know how to solve for speed. Students need to be able to define and identify Newton’s 3 Laws of Motion and solve for Force using F=m*a. Students need to define, distinguish, and solve (W=F*d) for work. Students also need to be able to interpret motion graphs.
