=Science Performance Standards= On behalf the Coast Metro Science Project Participants, we are excited to share with you the Coast Metro Science Project website.

On this website are draft Coast Metro Regional Standards for Performance Tasks in Science, Grades K-6. The next phase of the initiative is to invite teachers across the province to participate in piloting these materials during the 2009-2010 school year. Teachers are invited to try the tasks with their classes or to develop other performance tasks. In either case, participating teachers are invited to send the Coast Metro Science Project a task write-up, class set of student work with highlighted draft scales, and comments about the draft scale, before March 15, 2010.

Please find below the "Welcome" and "Invitation to Participate" info found on the website. The group hopes that the draft Coast Metro Regional Standards for Performance Tasks in Science, Grades K-6 will be well received and piloted by BC Teachers.

The goals of the Coast Metro Science Project were: • to facilitate excellence in science instruction • to promote inquiry-based learning through collaboration • to develop science literacy • to support assessment for learning
