This document contains a table of specifications for a quarterly science examination for 10th grade students covering Plate Tectonic Theory. The exam will contain 50 multiple choice items testing various levels of thinking skills. 38% of items (19 questions) will relate plate tectonics to the distribution of volcanoes, earthquakes, and mountains. Another 13% (6 questions) will cover the different types of plate boundaries. The remaining questions cover plate movement processes (25% of items), possible causes of plate movement (12% of items), and evidence supporting plate movement (12% of items). The table specifies the number of items at each level of thinking for each topic area.
