As part of the School Achievement Indicators Program (SAIP), the SAIP Science III Assessment (2004) was administered in the spring of 2004 in selected provincial and territorial schools. Overall, a random sample of approximately 25,000 students from about 2,500 schools wrote the assessment in either English or French. The documents in the right-hand column provide information to the participating schools, students, parents, and the public at large about SAIP and the subject being assessed.

SAIP is a pan-Canadian cooperative venture involving the development of a common set of assessment materials, consultations with subject experts, scoring of student responses, and data capture and analysis, as well the publication of various reports outlining the results.
