2012-2013 PACING GUIDE RATIONALE M/J COMPREHENSIVE SCIENCE 3

FCAT 2.0 Science was administered to students for the first time in the spring of 2012. The test and

standards have been revised as big ideas that flow throughout all grade levels and build in rigor as

students progress to higher grades. There are 18 big ideas that are organized into four Bodies of

Knowledge (Nature of Science, Life Science, Earth Science, and Physical Science). The Nature of Science

benchmarks are taught at the beginning of the year and integrated in all units and activities throughout

the entire school year at every grade level. Lab safety and the use of scientific tools should be

introduced at the beginning of the year and re-addressed continuously throughout the year.

In middle school the FCAT 2.0 Science is only administered in 8th grade. The NGSS benchmarks for

science are considered “fair game”. This means that the benchmarks from previous grade levels can be

tested, but they will not be tested in isolation. The Pacing Guide was developed by a team of middle

grades science teachers using the Florida Science Standards, Test Item Specifications, 2011 & 2012 FCAT

Content Focus Reports, and Pearson Interactive Science Textbooks as the primary resources. The intent

was to provide 8th grade teachers sufficient time to teach all of the 8th grade FCAT 2.0 standards by

January 18th, 2013 and provide a 7 week comprehensive review of all Annually Assessed Benchmarks

and “Fair Game” before FCAT Testing Begins in April.
