In this session, teachers will begin by revisiting the latest 5th grade NYS Science Assessment, exploring recent clusters aligned specifically to 4th grade performance expectations.
Teachers will be introduced to the first supplemental “Booster Pack” designed to extend each Mystery Science Unit by strengthening students' use of the Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) and Crosscutting Concepts (CCCs) embedded in NYSSLS. Participants will explore how these targeted activities build scientific thinking, increase rigor, and help students develop the skills needed to meet state assessment expectations.
