Abstract	The Connecticut Assessment of Educational Progress (CAEP) is modeled after the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and has been in operation since 1971. This report is the culmination of a multi-year effort by the Connecticut State Department of Education to make its CAEP program even more useful to classroom teachers and other local district personnel in improving curriculum than it has been in the past. The 1984-85 Science Assessment was designed to determine what Connecticut students know about topics in life science, earth science, and physical science; how they are able to use the processes of science such as measurement, observation, making inferences, and designing experiments; and how they feel about their science experiences and the methods used to teach them. To highlight the importance of this instructional approach and to determine how well Connecticut students perform with various types of equipment necessary for learning science, a practical test was also administered. Grades 4, 8, and 11 were tested and those test results and interpretations are provided for four catagories: scientific inquiry; life sciences; earth and space sciences; and the physical sciences. Comparisons are provided for statewide, national, and regional results. A sample test is included. (MVL)
