Since being authorized by Congress in 1969, NAEP's mission has been to collect, analyze, and present reliable and valuable information about what the nation's students know and can do. Both public and nonpublic school students in grades 4, 8, and 12 are sampled and assessed on a regular basis in core subject areas. In 1996 and 2000, student performance in science was assessed at grades 4, 8, and 12 on the national level. In 1996, the state-by-state assessment included eighth-grade students only. The 2000 state-by-state assessment expanded to include fourth-grade students as well as eighth-grade students.
Sample questions actually used on the NAEP tests are now available. Each question includes the following: Performance Data, Content Classification, Scoring Guide/Key, Student Responses, and More Data (performance by race, gender, region, and socioeconomic status). By using these questions, classroom teachers who compare performance of students with national norms will now know whether or not they are doing a good job!
