Challenge the FCAT
5th Grade Science CD-ROM
$30.00
PC and Macintosh compatible

  • The Challenge the FCAT CD is divided into two sections:
    LEARN-IT and TEST-IT. The LEARN-IT section contains brief passages of scientific information you need to understand the world around you.
    The TEST-IT section is designed to let you know what you understand, and what you need to learn more about.

    CD-ROM INCLUDES:
    DIAGNOSTICS
  • Students complete a Diagnostic Test to target concepts that require remediation.
  • Diagnostic software provides automated scoring with immediate feedback for the student.
  • Eliminates teacher scoring.

    INTERACTIVITY
  • Encourages students to make decisions on their own.
  • Gives students control of their learning.
  • Reinforces students' knowledge of the computer.

    ANIMATIONS
  • Difficult concepts are simplified through animation.
  • Allows students to compare and contrast closely related terms, such as speed and velocity.
  • Gives students a clear view of natural processes over time.

    SAMPLE QUESTIONS
  • Uses the various formats that students will see on the FCAT test.
