Resources based on the previous Science Standards (the 2005 GLEs)
The Powerful Classroom Assessments (PCAs) are developed from scenarios and test items used on the state science test. Questions were added to show the breadth of standards that could be tested within a given scenario. Rubrics and sample answers are included.
WASL Samples
These documents contain released WASL items from 2006 to 2008, including information on scoring open-ended items and annotated examples of scored student work. Some of these items align to the new K-12 science standards and can be used in the classroom.
