Australia's Science Forum

I am dealing with this for the first time, I have been informed that all the stuff has arrived!!!

How come this is your responsibility? Isn't it a science test, therefore the function of the teachers to implement it?

i just had to check the materials...they send pencils with the papers and stimulus booklets.

we have enough to cover everyone

the staff / science teachers will be implementing. ESSA seems to be a big deal?

It is a state wide science test for 7-10. Not sure if it is to highlight if science is being taught in context.

I have had this task also.
You should have a number of sheets of paper with instructions. (Hint: don't misplace)
Instructions are straight forward, so, don't panic.
Check contents of boxes same as on list.
I had to get class lists and supply according to those.
When all are collected, keep following instructions.
I had to do tally sheets and send off as well.

Another talent for the resume

Good luck

this is nothing to do with the labbie,its the Head Science teachers responabilty.ITS AN EXAM!!!!

True True, but some times we do get asked to check the contains of the boxes. I know I have done it a few years ago, and again this year. Just check you have enough papers, pens & booklets for all of your year 8, lock them away, until 23 Nov 2010.

checked and locked away =)

wonder what happens to the 204 pencils after the test.......???

throw them out as the kids would have most likely chewed on the ends of them

We keep them for use throughout the next year for the myriad of kids that neglect to bring a pencil to school.

We are doing it on line as I think it will go that way very soon.
Keep the booklets and pencils as they offten use it as a test fro the next year.
