Science Chart Navigation and Usage

This video, sponsored by the California Department of Education, demonstrates how to access and use science charts, including the periodic table and formula reference sheets, for the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). It explains the availability of these tools for grade 8 and high school students, but not for grade 5.
