May the Forces be With You – Getting Started

The information regarding testing is primarily intended for teachers who are participating in our research program. If you are not participating in our research, the tests may still be useful in assessing your own students’ progress and we strongly encourage you to contact us for more information about participating.

1. Ensure that students have completed the Student Attitude to Science questionnaire and the May the Forces be With You knowledge Pre-test before starting Lesson 1 (also see the May the Forces be with You pre-test marking guide).

PowerPoints

All lessons have an associated PowerPoint presentation that can be downloaded by teachers and used to guide the lesson sequence and activities. These PowerPoints have been designed for teachers as a guide, it is recommended that these are previewed and that teachers adapt them to suit their own teaching styles and approaches.

Post-tests

On completion of the program, administer the May the Forces be with You post-test (also see the May the Forces be with You post-test marking guide) and then be sure to re-administer the Student Attitude to Science questionnaire.
