Online testing
Science MSP and Smarter Balanced ELA/Mathematics
assessments will use the same online test engine.
The science MSP is not adaptive.
The science items are still based on the 2009 K-12
Science Learning Standards we’ve been assessing
since 2011.

Biology EOC Graduation Requirement
Legislative intent regarding high school science
assessment (2013 Engrossed House Bill 1450, section 4):
Classes of 2015 and beyond must pass the state
science exam to graduate
• Biology EOC—Until NGSS are adopted,
implemented, and assessed
• Comprehensive NGSS Test—When NGSS are
adopted, implemented, and assessed

Who Takes the Biology EOC?
Winter (January/February) 2015
• Any student (class of 2015+) who took the EOC previously and
did not meet standard
• Students completing a biology course mid-year
Spring 2015
• Any student (2015+) who took the EOC previously and did not
meet standard
• Any student (2015+) enrolled in a high school level biology
course

What happens to the MSP and EOC?
NCLB and state law require a state science exam once
each in elementary, middle, and high school.
The state exams (based on 2009 standards) will
continue until an exam based on the NGSS is developed.

What are the steps to building a new
assessment?
•
•
•
•
Develop item specifications from the standards
Determine the test map
Develop test items (including a pilot test)
Develop Achievement Level Descriptors (ALDs)
from the standards (aka PLDs)
• Administer an operational test
• Set achievement level cut scores (aka Standard Setting)
For the 2009 standards, this process took 25 months
11/13/2014
OSPI_ASSESSMENT_T&L_UPDATE
28
Still to be determined:
Will the science tests be developed by Washington or
with a consortium of states?
When and how will pilot and/or field testing occur?
What year will be the first year of operational testing?
If the high school test is comprehensive, will it be
administered at grade 10 or grade 11?
Will the elementary test cover just grade 5 standards
or a broader grade band of standards?

The “What”:
Key Shifts in NGSS
Focus:
The NGSS are focused on deeper understanding and
application of science content reflecting real-world
interconnectedness
Coherence:
Science and engineering build coherently
(horizontally, vertically and developmentally) across
K–12
Integration:
Science and Engineering are integrated across K–12

Designing for Equity
Encourage students…
“to be authors and producers of knowledge with ownership over it rather
than mere consumers of it..”
Learner agency takes three forms:
1. Supports active knowledge construction by engaging students in the
practices
2. Has learning experiences grow out of the lives of learners—connect
science to real world contexts
3. Leverages funds of knowledge of learners (interests, knowledge,
reasoning, identities)

Bundling Example: LS1B: Processes within Cells
LS1B. The gradual combustion of carbon-containing compounds within cells, called cellular respiration, provides the
primary energy source of living organisms: the combustion of carbon by burning of fossil fuels provides the primary energy
source for most of modern society.
HS-LS1-6. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for how carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
from sugar molecules may combine with other elements to form amino acids and/or other large carbonbased molecules.
HS-LS1-7. Use a model to illustrate that cellular respiration is a chemical process whereby the bonds of
food molecules and oxygen molecules are broken and the bonds in new compounds are formed resulting
in a net transfer of energy.
HS-LS2-3. Construct and revise an explanation based on evidence for the cycling of matter and flow of
energy in aerobic and anaerobic conditions.
HS-LS2-5. Develop a model to illustrate the role of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in the cycling of
carbon among the biosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and geosphere.
HS-PS21-7.Use mathematical representations to support the claim that atoms, and therefore mass, are
conserved during a chemical reaction.
HS-ESS2-6. Develop a quantitative model to describe the cycling of carbon among the hydrosphere,
atmosphere, geosphere, and biosphere.
HS-ETS1-1. Analyze a major global challenge to specify qualitative and quantitative criteria and constraints
for solutions that account for societal needs and wants.

4-5 INQF Models
(WA 2009)
Content Standard:
oA scientific model is a simplified representation of an object, event,
system, or process created to understand some aspect of the natural
world. When learning from a model, it is important to realize that the
model is not exactly the same as the thing being modeled.
Item Specifications:
oINQF(1) Tell what can be learned about an object, event, system, or
process by using a given model.
oINQF(2) Describe how a model is similar to or different from the
object, event, system, or process being modeled.
11/13/2014
OSPI_ASSESSMENT_T&L_UPDATE
63
6-8 INQE Models
(WA 2009)
Content Standard:
oModels are used to represent objects, events, systems, and
processes. Models can be used to test hypotheses and better
understand phenomena, but they have limitations.
Item Specifications:
oINQE(1) Describe how a model can be used to explain the
relationship between two variables.
oINQE(2) Describe how a model or simulation is similar to and/or
different from the actual object, event, system or process being
modeled.
11/13/2014
OSPI_ASSESSMENT_T&L_UPDATE
64
9-12 SYSC
(WA 2009)
Content Standard:
oIn complex systems, entirely new and unpredictable properties may
emerge. Consequently, modeling a complex system in sufficient detail
to make reliable predictions may not be possible.
Item Specifications:
oSYSC(1) Given a model of a complex system that is lacking sufficient
detail to make reliable predictions about that system, describe
inadequacies of the model.
oSYSC(2) Predict the possible consequences of a change in a given
complex system and/or describe why a simplified model may not be
able to reliably predict those consequences.

Things to remember:
1. We are just exploring possibilities.
2. This example could possibly serve as bridges between the
2009 and 2013 standards.
3. Item specifications have not been developed for the 2013
standards so the item presented is not an “example”
based on item specifications.
4. We encourage you to play with these types of items and
