"...there is more than enough in each activity for a teacher, even one without a great deal of science background, to plan high-quality, inquiry-based lessons and assess student performance with confidence."

"I used the Science Exemplars program because it provided well-designed materials and teacher guidance for implementation. Science Exemplars emphasized short experiments rich in content and process skills with detailed materials and guidance for developing student self-assessment. The program provided examples of student work from notebooks as portable document (PDF) sheets. The teacher has easy reference to notated assessments of each page for consistent rubric scoring."
