As we know standardized tests are sometimes a cumulative measures and not just about what is taught in that year. For instance, in Virginia Magnets is a second grade standard in science but possibly tested on the third grade standards of learning test. DE streaming makes it easy to review those or any standard by using the Curriculum Standards Search.
In our district we find it in the lower left corner of the De streaming homepage when you login. It recognizes that we are in Virginia. On the next screen you can make your choices find videos that are correlated directly to the SOL you have in mind.
Once you select a grade level you will automatically be forwarded to another screen that has the main headers of standards. You will need to further refine your search by selecting a topic under each of the subtopics. Using the example of magnets, I went to the second grade standards for science. Then went to Force, Motion, and Energy. There I found science standard 2.2. This standard has two subtopics and each one is a link to media that help to meet that standard.
Clicking on 2.2.a produced the following list of videos and video segments. You will hopefully be able to use this for your specific grade level review to give a focused and meaningful test prep for your students.
