Rhode Island conducts statewide testing in English/Language Arts, Reading, and Mathematics. Science is not one the subjects included in the state testing program.To keep science on the "radar screen," the project develped a writing resource that includes writing prompts, rubrics, and links to science/writing standards). Teachers recognize how the hands-on, inquiry-based science serves as a wonderful springboard for communicating by writing, drawing, speaking, listening. The tool helps them with their planning of integrating the two subject areas.
