Grade 4 ii f To the Teacher Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Standards Test Preparation for TCAP is designed to familiarize students with standardized testing and to review the concepts covered in the Tennessee Science Standards. About This Book The test items in this book will accustom students in a grade-appropriate manner with standardized testing in preparation for the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP). Each test item is correlated to a specific State Performance Indicator (SPI), or Grade Level Expectation (GLE) in the case of Grades 1 and 2. • Correlation Charts: The first correlation chart illustrates how the SPIs or GLEs covered in this book align with lessons in Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Tennessee Science A Closer Look. The second chart illustrates how the SPIs or GLEs align with Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Key Concept Cards and other materials that can be used for intervention if test results indicate that students are having difficulty with particular SPIs or GLEs. • Diagnostic Tests: Two Diagnostic Tests, which can be used as pretests or posttests, are provided. The Diagnostic Tests are designed to simulate the statewide TCAP tests that students will be taking. Each Diagnostic Test consists of multiple-choice questions that cover SPIs or GLEs spanning all 12 Conceptual Strands in Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science. Inquiry and Technology & Engineering SPIs or GLEs are embedded within each test. • Standards Tests: These practice tests give students the opportunity to answer questions that focus on each of the Conceptual Strands of the Tennessee Science Standards. One test is provided for each of the 12 Life Science, Earth and Space Science, and Physical Science Conceptual Strands. Inquiry and Technology & Engineering SPIs or GLEs are embedded within each test. These tests can also be used as pretests and posttests, or as homework assignments or extra practice.
