8 Differentiated Reading Passage Sets EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
VOCABULARY: testable, measurable, hypothesis, control group, test group, variables, procedures, data, bar graph, line graph, pie chart, results, conclusion, application

Get them ready for the Science Fair.
Each set includes one passage written on three levels. As all students are tested on the same benchmarks, only the passages are differentiated -not the assessment page.
Passages are marked H, M, L (high, medium, low) in small print on the bottom of the page.

Passages are written in full page format with large font for annotating text in centers or guided reading as well as half page format for use in interactive science notebooks.

Answer keys, booklet covers (color and black and white), and a help page for using the proper graphs are included.
