Uploaded by kopisore

Science Curriculum Review Worksheets map ACT Science College and Career Readiness Standards to a school’s existing curriculum across multiple score ranges (13–15, 16–19, 20–23, 24–27). The tables organize expectations by skill category, including IOD (interpreting data), SIN (scientific investigation), and EMI (evaluating models and information). For each standard, the worksheet prompts whether the content is included, first introduced at what grade level or course, and when students are expected to demonstrate proficiency.

FAQs

What information does each worksheet row capture for a given science standard?

For each skill, the worksheet asks whether it is included in the Science curriculum, the grade level or course where students are first introduced to it, and the grade level or course where students are expected to demonstrate proficiency.

What do the IOD, SIN, and EMI categories represent?

The tables group standards into IOD (interpreting data), SIN (scientific investigation), and EMI (evaluating models and information), each with specific skills or processes.

How are the standards organized across different score ranges?

Standards are grouped into separate tables by ACT score range: 13–15, 16–19, 20–23, and 24–27, each listing relevant IOD/SIN/EMI expectations.
