WORKSHEET

should improve the 5th-grade Science quizzes. First, the
laboratory tests are unsuitable for the digital classroom
due to the inadequate software programs purchased by
the institution. The school should start investing in 3D
simulations and tools like Project Noah and Prepmagic.
Additionally, each classroom activity is not aligned with the
learning objectives as they only address lower-level thinking
skills through multiple-choice tests and identification items.
Lastly, the Science quizzes for the 5th grade have similar
content to the examination items from the 4th grade.
Science teachers from these grade levels should schedule
a meeting to discuss the content of their lessons.
