Science Second
6 Things you need to know and can share with others.
1. 3rd and 4th Grade Science Field Test Guides
The State released science field test guides for grades 3 and 4. We now have a better idea of what the science field test will look like. As soon as I know more information, I’ll share it with you.
Please Note: The state science field test will be paper-based for grades 3-4 and computer based for grades 5-8.
2. Caddo's Science Scope & Sequence: Units 1-3
Units 1-3 of Caddo’s Scope and Sequence are now available for K-5. Visit http://www.caddoscience.com/standards.html for more information. Unit 4 for grades K-5 will be posted no later than December 13.
The Caddo Scope and Sequence documents are live and constantly being updated and improved in real-time.

5. Caddo Elementary Science Survey
The Caddo Science Elementary Department is conducting a survey. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to either take and/or share the K-5 science survey with your elementary colleagues. I am very interested in the feedback from Caddo educators. This survey is anonymous so I won’t know if you complete it or not, but I really hope that you will. The survey will close Friday, November 10 at 4 PM.
Thanks so much for your participation.
