Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Explain everyday physical events in terms of heat transfer, force and energy — why ice melts on a table, why a pushed box stops, why a compressed gas occupies less volume
Trace energy through an ecosystem from producers to consumers and predict what happens to one population when another changes
Sit a timed multiple-choice science paper at roughly one minute per question, choosing the BEST option and eliminating weak choices when unsure
Teaching tips
Choose questions that match your taught curriculum; the set includes concepts beyond introductory fifth-grade science.
Use the answer explanations to discuss reasoning and identify topics for follow-up.
Florida’s grade 5 science assessment is the Statewide Science Assessment. The original file’s FAST naming and claims of matching the official format and distribution are inaccurate.
Skills covered
Physical science reasoning — 17 items cover heat transfer, chemical versus physical change, force and acceleration, potential and kinetic energy, conductors, refraction and the compression of gases.
Life science reasoning — 19 items span body systems, cell structures, photosynthesis and cellular respiration, adaptation, populations and communities, and predator-prey and mutualistic relationships.
Timed test technique — the directions set roughly one minute per question, ask for the BEST of four options and prompt process of elimination, against a scored answer line.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Should I assign the whole test or select questions?
Select questions that match your students’ prior learning. The set ranges across several science domains and includes some more advanced concepts, so a focused group of questions may be more useful than the whole test.
