The assessment items on this website are the result of more than a decade of research and development by Project 2061, a long-term science education reform initiative of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Here you will find free access to more than 600 items. The items:Are appropriate for middle and early high school students.Test student understanding in the earth, life, physical sciences, and the nature of science.Test for common misconceptions as well as correct ideas.
Thanks for sharing this John. Project 2061 has made important strides over the past 15 years. Good to see they offer some items for teachers to use in assessments.
has a cool looking case study on Red Bull for macromolecules. plus lots of other case study ideas for mini-research projects for students. includes lab handouts, answer keys, etc.
This looks like an interesting site to include in a project-based approach to teaching. The cases may lend themselves well to interdisciplinary work and more extensive projects that will interest students. Let me know what the CFT can do to help.
An interview with the mathematician and geneticist behind the Human Genome Project and the Broad Institute Really great video describing how lander fell in love with bio.
