I gained a greater understanding of NGSS and what the students are truly expected to do and what it 'looks like.' I also love the rubric!!!

Your work is fantastic! We are looking for a way to monitor the growth of a student as a scientist from grade to grade. Your rubrics will help us to begin this important work.
