Inquiry-Driven Science Review for the North Carolina EOG
North Carolina Coach, Science provides in-depth instruction, comprehensive review, and extensive practice for success on the North Carolina End-of-Grade Science Test. Every lesson opens with a Getting the Idea section, moves through detailed review, contains a Focus on Inquiry feature or a discussion question, and closes with lesson review questions. Lessons and activities build skills and strategies, as well as student confidence in test taking.
