Science Benchmarks Assessments powered by escWorks .NET

Welcome

Science Benchmark Performance Assessments are designed to assess student mastery as a result of TEKS-based instruction and to serve as an indicator for student success on TAKS. Instructional rubrics that analyze a student's conceptual knowledge, procedural knowledge, and communication skills are included.

The assessments are a free resource to educators, parents, and students. Tasks grouped by grade level that address the concepts of scientific processes and science concepts are available on both the public and administrator sites.

PUBLIC

Educators, parents, and students

The public site contains assessment items and student work that demonstrates sample responses to assessment items. The concept addressed and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skill (TEKS) are used to sort the tasks.

ADMINISTRATOR

District/Charter Personnel

The administrator's site is closed to the public and contains different tasks. The purpose of the administrator's site is to provide districts with a database of questions that each district could use to develop district-made benchmark assessments. Districts can select questions based upon the concepts and corresponding Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).
