NGSS State Test Review and Practice

Updated February 2024---Now includes answer keys!

These lessons can be assigned asynchronously or done as a class with direct instruction support.  They are created to support students in practicing the skills they will need to do well on a state test that is NGSS aligned.  Students will review concepts and will apply their knowledge in a format similar to the cast.  Each lesson includes interactive elements like PhET simulations and videos and also includes reading passages and diagrams.  Every lesson ends with a performance task that will help students practice applying their knowledge in a longer paragraph form.

There are four lessons included in this test review:

• Earth Science
• Chemistry
• Physics
• Biology

The lessons would be an easier independent review for most 12th graders, but still good practice for the test.  I think 8th graders would benefit from the lessons as well but some might need direct instruction support.
