After doing an item analysis on our Science AIMS practice test, the results showed the following areas need more attention:
* Observation(s)
* Identifying Natural Resources
* Conductors vs. Insolators
* Parallel Circuits
Some areas for review:
* Experiment Controls and Variables
* Meterology
* Fish
* Mimicry
* Erosion by Wind
* Erosion by Water
Each topic above will soon have links attached.
