The Illinois Science Assessment Framework for grade 11 is designed to assist educators, test developers, policy makers and the public by clearly defining those elements of the Illinois Learning Standards that are suitable for state testing. This document employs a general organizational structure designed for ease of use. Each state goal for science is the main organizer, followed by the Illinois Learning Standards for science within each of these state goals. Each assessment objective has a unique identifier with three components. The first component, "13," indicates the numbered State Goal as defined in the Illinois Learning Standards. The second component, "11," indicates the grade level. The third component, "01," indicates that this is the first assessment objective for this State Goal at this grade level.
