About the Investigations

The Investigations are hands-on laboratory experiences that prepare students for the written Elementary- and Intermediate-Level Science Tests that will be administered in Grades 5 and 8, respectively, in Spring 2024. 

To assist educators in their understanding of and preparation for working with the Investigations, BOCES 4 Science offers kits that correspond to each of the ELS and ILS Investigations, along with complementary professional learning. Our kits contain the materials specified by NYSED for each Investigation, organized for ease of administration. Through our professional learning, teachers will understand the recommended approaches for introducing their students to the activities within the Investigations.
BOCES 4 Science is a collaborative science program service developed through a partnership among the BOCES in the Mid-Western New York State region.
