Strengths
The NAEP Questions Tool provides access to authentic, nationally benchmarked assessment items. Allows for comparison with how students across the country performed on the same question.
Cautions
The NAEP Science Sample Items are released selectively and represent only a subset of the full assessment, so they may not provide a complete or balanced picture of the content domain or skills being assessed.
The NAEP Science Sample Items are a collection of released assessment questions drawn from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), designed to measure students’ science achievement at the national level. These items represent the types of questions used in operational NAEP assessments across grades 4, 8, and 12. The sample items include a variety of question formats, such as selected-response (e.g., multiple choice, multiple selection, matching, and interactive items) and constructed-response questions that require short or extended written answers. The assessment is organized around three major content areas: physical science, life science, and earth and space science. In addition to content knowledge, items are designed to measure students’ ability to engage in scientific practices, including identifying and applying scientific principles, using scientific inquiry, and solving problems.
