Assessment Frameworks for Science Wisconsin Student Assessment System Criterion-Referenced Test Framework For the fall Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations Statewide Assessment Assessment Framework for Science In Grades 4, 8, and 10 Developed from Wisconsin’s K-12 Model Academic Standards for Science Elizabeth Burmaster, State Superintendent Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction CTB/McGraw-Hill Test Development Contractor March, 2006 This document provides an indication of the range of coverage on the science portion of the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination that will be administered statewide in Wisconsin each November beginning in 2007 in grades 4, 8, and 10. It is intended to foster discussion among educators and others across grades and across subject areas. It should be used in conjunction with the Wisconsin’s Model Academic Standards for Science and your local curriculum. March, 2006 Office of Educational Accountability Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction 125 South Webster Street P.O. Box 7841 Madison, WI 53707-7841 The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, religion, age, national origin, ancestry, creed, pregnancy, marital or parental status, sexual orientation, or physical, mental, emotional or learning disability.

Under Wisconsin law s. 118.30, students are to be assessed in grades 4, 8, and 10. Thus, beginning in 2007-08 school year, both state and federal laws apply to science; the result is that students will be assessed in grades 4, 8, and 10. These tests are referred to as the Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examination (WKCE) and will replace WKCE science tests beginning in fall 2007. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction published a request for proposals to support the development of customized criterion-referenced reading, mathematics, and science tests. CTB/McGraw-Hill was awarded the contract. Panels of Wisconsin teachers began meeting during the 2004–2005 school year to develop a science framework that provides content information about science for the beginning of grades 4, 8, and 10. Those teachers also reviewed (accept/reject/edit) all customized items developed by the contractor. The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction contracted with three national experts to evaluate the work of CTB/McGraw-Hill as well as to advise the department on issues of validity and reliabil- ity of the new WKCE test design for reading, mathematics, and science. This Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) met initially in February 2004 and will meet twice annually in the future to assure the continued technical validity of the tests. General Test Specifications Beginning in the 2007-08 school year, items developed for the new WKCE tests in science will be either selected-response (multiple-choice) or constructed-response (CR) format. The test reporting categories and items assigned to measure each reporting category are aligned to the Wisconsin’s Model Academic Standards for Science with appropriate science framework descriptors supporting learning expectations for tests administered in the fall semester. The test design draws approximately 80% of the total score points from selected-response items and 20% of the score points from student- generated constructed-response items. It is important to point out that CR items will be used for certain standards when selected-response (SR) items are not available or feasible to use. All students in grades 4, 8, and 10 will be tested in science using these new customized WKCE tests beginning in fall 2007. Students with disabilities will be allowed accommodations during these tests unless an alternate assessment is required based on an IEP process. Students whose English language proficiency as tested on state-approved language proficiency examinations is level three or higher will take the WKCE tests with allowable accommodations. English language learners with language proficiency scores less than three will take an alternate assessment. All alternate assessments are aligned to state standards. Students in grades 4, 8, and 10 will continue to be assessed in language arts and social studies as required by s. 118.30 Wisconsin Statutes. These assessments will be a shelf-test provided under the terms of the department’s contract with CTB/McGraw-Hill. March, 2006 1 Reporting Categories WKCE Science Assessment Framework Table 1.

The framework was derived from Wisconsin’s Model Academic Standards for Science and designed to provide clarity and specificity to the standards and to provide greater details about what will be assessed on the WKCE for science. The blueprint (Figure 1) provides information about the range and coverage for each content standard in science for the three grades being assessed. Relationships among the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards, test blueprint, test, and framework. WKCE Wisconsin’s Test Test for Model Academic Framework Blueprint Science Standards for (Fig. 1) Science How can I use the framework? You can use the framework to ensure that your local curriculum includes the knowledge and skills described in the framework. However, since the science assessment framework is only an indication of the knowledge and skills that will be assessed on the November WKCE, this information does not replace your local curriculum. Another way to use the framework is as a basis for teachers to engage in multi-grade-level discussions. Since the test is administered in the fall, students should have an opportunity to acquire the knowledge and skills that will be assessed prior to the tested grade. Similarly, teachers will want to examine test results for feedback on what is happening at their own grade level, as illustrated in the example in Figure 3. Finally, the science framework (and standards) is not grade specific, discussions can take place about what portion or aspects of the framework should be learned at each grade leading to the tested grades.

  • The Cell-Theory: a Restatement, History, and Critique Part III
    *57 The Cell-theory: A Restatement, History, and Critique Part III. The Cell as a Morphological Unit By JOHN R. BAKER (From the Department of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy, Oxford) SUMMARY A long time elapsed after the discovery of cells before they came to be generally regarded as morphological units. As a first step it was necessary to show that the cell-walls of plants were double and that cells could therefore be separated. The earliest advances in this direction were made by Treviranus (1805) and Link (1807). The idea of a cell was very imperfect, however, so long as attention was con- centrated on its wall. The first person who stated clearly that the cell-wall is not a necessary constituent was Leydig (1857). Subsequently the cell came to be regarded as a naked mass of protoplasm with a nucleus, and to this unit the name of protoplast was given. The true nature of the limiting membrane of the protoplast was discovered by Overton (1895). The plasmodesmata or connective strands that sometimes connect cells were prob- ably first seen by Hartig, in sieve-plates (1837). They are best regarded from the point of view of their functions in particular cases. They do not provide evidence for the view that the whole of a multicellular organism is basically a protoplasmic unit. Two or more nuclei in a continuous mass of protoplasm appear to have been seen for the first time in 1802, by Bauer. That an organism may consist wholly of a syn- cytium was discovered in i860, in the Mycetozoa.

The activ- Biological atomism ity of a living organism is thus conceived as the result of the activities and interactions of its elementary Cell theory constituents, each of which individually already exhibits all the attributes proper to life. This paper sur- Organismal theory veys some of the key episodes in the history of biological atomism, and situates cell theory within this Reductionism tradition. The atomistic foundations of cell theory are subsequently dissected and discussed, together with the theory’s conceptual development and eventual consolidation. This paper then examines the major criticisms that have been waged against cell theory, and argues that these too can be interpreted through the prism of biological atomism as attempts to relocate the true biological atom away from the cell to a level of organization above or below it. Overall, biological atomism provides a useful perspective through which to examine the history and philosophy of cell theory, and it also opens up a new way of thinking about the epistemic decomposition of living organisms that significantly departs from the phys- icochemical reductionism of mechanistic biology.

  • Cell Theory the CELL THEORY GREW out of the WORK of MANY SCIENTISTS and IMPROVEMENTS in the MICROSCOPE
    Cell Theory THE CELL THEORY GREW OUT OF THE WORK OF MANY SCIENTISTS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MICROSCOPE. Many scientists contributed to the cell theory. ROBERT HOOKE He was the first person to look at cells and named them. He looked at cork cells which are not living. It is the bark of a tree so they are dead plant cells. They are small squares and they reminded him of the small rooms in a monastery called cells ANTON VAN LEEUWENHOEK Credited with improving the microscope. (Zacharias Janssen is credited with discovering/creating microscope). Leeuwenhoek’s microscope could magnify 200x the human eye! Today’s microscopes can magnify up to 1500! MATTHIAS SCHLEIDEN was a German botanist (scientist who studies plants.) He found that the plant parts he examined were made of cells. He made the generalization that all plants were made of cells. THEODOR SCHWANN Studied animals. His microscopic investigations of animal parts led him to generalize that all animals are made of cells After looking at Schleiden’s work ,he further proposed that all organisms are made of cells. RUDOLF VIRCHOW- OMNIS CELLULA C CELLULA”: ALL CELLS FROM CELLS (1855) German doctor that said that new plant cells arise only from existing plant cells, and new animal cells arise only from existing animal cells.

  • B-2 the Student Will Demonstrate an Understanding of the Structure and Function of Cells and Their Organelles. Effective June 20
    B-2 The student will demonstrate an understanding of the structure and function of cells and their organelles. B-2.1 Recall the three major tenets of cell theory (all living things are composed of one or more cells; cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things; and all presently existing cells arose from previously existing cells). Taxonomy Level: 1.2-B Remember Conceptual Knowledge Key Concepts: Cell theory Unicellular organism, multicellular organism Previous knowledge: In 5th grade (5-2.1), students recalled the cell as the smallest unit of life and identified its major structures (including cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, and vacuole). In 7th grade, students summarized the structures and functions of the major components of plant and animal cells (including the cell wall, the cell membrane, the nucleus, chloroplasts, mitochondria, and vacuoles) (7-2.1), compared the major components of plant and animal cells (7-2.2), and explained how cellular processes (including respiration, photosynthesis in plants, mitosis, and waste elimination) are essential to the survival of the organism (7-2.4). It is essential for students to know the three major tenets of the cell theory: • All living things are composed of one or more cells. • Cells are the basic unit of structure of all living things. ○ The lowest level of structure capable of performing all the activities of life is the cell. ○ A unicellular organism is composed of one cell and all of life’s activities occur within that single cell. ○ In a multicellular organism, each cell carries on most of the major functions of life.
