DESCRIPTION:Linda Morell\, Shih Ying Yao\, Andrew Galpern & Bryan Henderson\, BEAR Center\, UC Berkeley  &  Stanford University\nWilliam P. Fisher\, Karen Draney\, Amanda McKerracher and Hye-Kyung Lee\n\nThe Learning Progressions in Middle School Science project is a four-year research effort funded by the National Science Foundation. Facilitated by the Strategic Educational Research Partnership (SERP)\, researchers at the Berkeley Evaluation and Assessment Research (BEAR) Center have been working closely with scholars from Stanford University and a group of middle-school science teachers in the San Francisco Bay Area to develop assessment materials to measure grade eight students' (a) content knowledge of the structure of matter in physical science\, and (b) argumentation/scientific reasoning ability within the content area of the structure of matter. These assessment materials will serve as tools to help teachers and administrators map student understanding along a developmental continuum. The progress variables to be developed\, tested\, and refined for the content area\, structure of matter\, include: (1) Macro and Micro Properties\; (2) Measurement and Data Handling\; (3) Density and Mass & Volume\; (4) Changes of State\; (5) Macro Evidence for Particulate Structure\; and (6) Atomic-Molecular Theory of Macro Properties. In this presentation\, we will discuss the theoretical foundation for the structure of matter content and argumentation progress variables\, assessment materials we have developed\, and lessons we have learned.
