WASL Bubble Gum Released Practice Item

Filed under: Inquiry & Sci Method, Teaching and Learning, WASL — Justin @ 8:43 pm

This is the 2003 WASL Science released Bubble Gum scenario. The OSPI document from which it is taken is quite long and not printer-friendly, so I’ve reformatted it to print on four pages (two pages double-sided) for use with students. Word format. Download.

Middle School Science GLEs, by Grade

Filed under: WASL, Standards — Justin @ 4:18 pm

OSPI has published a beautiful book of the science Grade Level Expectations, but they’re more suited for looking nice in a k-10 page spread than they are useful for planning. I’ve copied them into Word, and cut them down to the middle school GLEs. It’s very easy to copy from these files into your syllabus or other documents. Also, it’s only 8 pages to print all of the middle school science GLEs, instead of 84 pages for the k-10 publication.

Here are the current GLEs (Grade Level Expectations), by grade level and all together, in Word Format:

6th grade

7th grade

8th grade

6th-8th grades
