Questions Total Answered correct
My first thoughts were that
Astronomy was our weak area,
but after considering the # of
questions in each domain and
the # correct; my thoughts
definitely changed.
With 24 questions on the Geology
strand, this would definitely be our
concentration area.
Students should practice more in
this area as the # not mastered was
slightly higher than
Hydrology/Meteorology or
Astronomy.
1. Did the 6
th
Grade have a
different science teacher this
year?
2. Can you drill down this data
further to a targeted group?
3. Were there questions that the
38 % that Did Not Meet
consistently missed?
4. What were the strengths of
the 4 % that Exceeded? Are
those students Gifted?
