=**  ﻿ Purpose and Function of the Web Site **= As a seventh grade science teacher one of my most important goals is to prepare my students for the Science End of Grades Test. Students are tested in eighth grade and the test covers what they have learned in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade science classes. According to the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction “The North Carolina End-of-Grades Test of Science assesses the 2004 North Carolina Science Standard Course of Study (Content Standards).” ([]) My web site is going to help the students in the seventh grade to prepare and pass this test. In the 2008-2009 school years my middle school had sixty nine percent of our students pass this test and we had the lowest scores in our county. ([]) Students and teachers will be able to use the web site as a resource for extra help in the areas that are taught for the seventh grade curriculum.

**Stated Audience and Grade Level**
