Introduction This document demonstrates how Scott Foresman Science Content Leveled Readers, Grades 2-5, support the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) for Science Grade Five. Matching Scott Foresman Science Content Leveled Reader titles are listed for each Grade Five Texas Science TAKS, Objectives 2, 3, and 4.

Scott Foresman Science Content Leveled Readers teach the same science content at different levels to spark student curiosity and create eager science learners.

Objective 2: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the life sciences. This objective assesses students’ understanding of inherited traits and the diversity of life through a focus on the similarities and differences between organisms. The objective also addresses the basic needs of living organisms through the study of the traits and behaviors of plants and animals in different environments. The concepts of evolution, ecology, and genetics are introduced at their most fundamental levels for the Elementary Science—Grade 5 TAKS test. Students need to understand that they are interconnected with the world around them. Awareness of this interdependence will enable them to be better informed when making decisions concerning their health, their well-being, and their environment. Through the study of populations, students begin to see themselves as part of an ecosystem. The life science concepts learned in the elementary grades provide the foundation for the biological concepts tested on the grades 8, 10, and exit level TAKS.

Objective 3: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the physical sciences. The physical sciences explain the overall structure and the basic physical principles of the universe, with an emphasis on matter, energy, motion, and forces. Forces cause matter to undergo changes. These changes, such as when sugar dissolves in water or when electricity flows through a wire, involve energy and energy transformations. A basic understanding of the physical sciences learned in the elementary grades provides the foundation for a deeper comprehension of energy, machines, properties of matter, and chemical reactions assessed on the grades 8, 10, and exit level TAKS.


(3.6) Science concepts. The student knows that forces cause change.


(A) measure and record changes in the position and direction of the motion of an object to which a force such as a push or pull has been applied.

Objective 4: The student will demonstrate an understanding of the earth sciences. A basic knowledge of the earth/space sciences allows students to understand how Earth’s physical features are shaped by forces and are continually changing. These changes can affect the availability of resources, many of which are limited. The earth/space sciences lend themselves to the study of many types of systems, cycles, and change. Through the study of the physical features of Earth, the moon, and the sun, students begin to understand the universe as a dynamic system. Earth/space science concepts learned at the elementary grades and developed in sixth through eighth grades provide the connection for the earth/space science integrations found in Biology and IPC, which will be assessed at grades 8, 10, and exit level.
