Statewide Assessment for Math, LA, and Science - SBAC
This week EMS will begin annual State SBAC testing. Assessments this year will be in ELA & Math for all grade levels and 8th grade Science. Our students will be taking part in both the computer adaptive test and the performance task for ELA and Math. For 8th grade Science students will only be taking a computer adaptive test. Students will be taking these tests this year in their core class during core class time.
Attached below are opt-out forms if you do not wish to have your student participate in state testing. If you have any questions about state testing please reachout to Vice Principal Greg Kelley - (kelleyg@estacada.k12.or.us 503-630-8516, ext. 2504)
Hands-on Learning
Students practiced their metric measurement skills by finding a gummy bear's length, volume, mass, and density. Stay tuned for next week's lab where students will observe changes to their gummy bears and defend using their observations and measurements if the change was due to a physical or chemical change.
Science Labs
Students used microscopes to observe living and nonliving samples up to 400 times larger. They used their observations to spot patterns that differentiate living samples from nonliving objects (namely the presence of cells and highly organized nature of living things).
