Science educators in the United States are adapting to a new vision
of how students learn science. Children are natural explorers and
their observations and intuitions about the world around them are
the foundation for science learning. Unfortunately, the way science
has been taught in the United States has not always taken advantage
of those attributes. Some students who successfully complete their
K?12 science classes have not really had the chance to "do" science
for themselves in ways that harness their natural curiosity and
understanding of the world around them. The introduction of the
Next Generation Science Standards led many states, schools, and
districts to change curricula, instruction, and professional
development to align with the standards. Therefore existing
assessments?whatever their purpose?cannot be used to measure the
full range of activities and interactions happening in science
classrooms that have adapted to these ideas because they were not
designed to do so. Seeing Students Learn Science is meant to help
educators improve their understanding of how students learn science
and guide the adaptation of their instruction and approach to
assessment. It includes examples of innovative assessment formats,
ways to embed assessments in engaging classroom activities, and
ideas for interpreting and using novel kinds of assessment
information. It provides ideas and questions educators can use to
reflect on what they can adapt right away and what they can work
toward more gradually. Table of Contents Front Matter 1 What's
