A repository of classroom formative tasks aligned to the indicator level of the standards. Tasks were developed by NE educators and cover the breadth of the standards giving students an opportunity to provide evidence of what they can know and can do related to that standard. https://www.education.ne.gov/assessment/science-classroom-formative-task-repository-for-grades-5-8/ Use password: ScienceFA (this password is case sensitive).
With the Nebraska College and Career Ready Standards for Science revision being approved, NDE has been working on updating and releasing Teacher's Guides. 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Teacher Guides for Science have recently been added to NDE's website. Like the elementary guides, these are labeled as drafts to extend time to catch errors and allow for improvements as the field begins working with the information.
