Testing Over

Thank you so much for your support of the Ohio Achievement Testing! We had 100% attendance on all three test days so everyone in the class earned a treat bag and is finished with the fourth grade OAT!

In order for your child to succeed on tomorrow's science test, he/she should be familiar with the following Ohio Science indicators:

1. Describe how wind, water and ice shape and reshape Earth's land surface by eroding rock and soil in some areas and depositing them in other areas producing characteristic landforms (e.g., dunes, deltas and glacial moraines).
2. Identify and describe how freezing, thawing and plant growth reshape the land surface by causing the weathering of rock.
3. Describe evidence of changes on Earth's surface in terms of slow processes (e.g., erosion, weathering, mountain building and deposition) and rapid processes (e.g. volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and landslides).
