OST Grade 5 Science study guide

The Ohio State Tests in Science, Grade 5 is the state assessment Ohio students take in science at the end of fifth grade. It sits inside Ohio's broader testing program, which the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) administers; the department's Testing section is the official home for assessment information, and its "Find sample test questions?" link points families and teachers toward sample items and practice tests. The test samples the grade 5 science content of Ohio's Learning Standards, which are organized into Earth and Space Science, Life Science, Physical Science, and Science Inquiry and Application. In practice that means questions about Earth's surface and resources, the sun and moon patterns, ecosystems and food webs, matter and its changes, energy, forces and motion, plus the inquiry skills of observing, measuring, designing fair tests, and interpreting data. The OST Grade 5 Science study guide has 4 sections and about 1,352 words.
