Stage I - Science
Assessments
Science Classroom Assessments Aligned to the Illinois
Learning Standards
The assessments are coded according to learning standard
and stage. Example: 11A.I is aligned to standard 11A, stage
I (tenth & eleventh grades).
11A.I - Inquiry Overview 
Students will apply the concepts, principles and processes
of scientific inquiry within classroom investigations.
11B.I - Historic Design Overview
Students will apply the concepts, principles and processes
of technological design within classroom investigations.
12A.I - Diffusion Through a Cellular
Membrane
Students will apply the processes of scientific inquiry to
analyze common and specific cellular organelles and functions.
12B.I - Population Dynamics
Students will apply the processes of scientific inquiry to
explain population model studies to determine limiting factors
and mathematical patterns of population growth in real-world
situations.
12C.I - Discovering the Structure of
the Atom
Students will apply the processes of scientific inquiry to
investigate atomic and nuclear structure of matter by examining
historical atomic theories.
12D.I - Fast Cars and Roll Over
Students will apply the processes of technological design
to investigate motion relationships in natural and forced
settings.
12E.I - Historic Earth Science Innovations
Students will apply the processes of technological design
to research the engineering feats, innovations or models of
earth sciences.
12F.I - Stellar Spectral Fingerprints
Students will apply the processes of technological design
to explore the electromagnetic spectrum with an emphasis on
bright-line spectra.
13A.I - Safety Knowledge Base Changes
Students will apply the accepted practices of science in the
context of safety policies and the changes in scientific knowledge
over time.
13B.I - Science and Careers
Students will apply the interactions of the concepts, principles
and interconnections of the life, physical and earth/space
sciences to analyze career and occupational decisions.
