OpenSciEd Interim Assessment

Strengthen your students’ science knowledge with timely, high-quality assessments that align to your curriculum and standards and measure deeper learning.

A smarter way to assess science learning

Cognia has a long-standing dedication to high-quality STEM education, engaging over 400 institutions in our STEM certification program. Cognia has now leveraged this STEM expertise to develop middle school interim science assessments that align to the OpenSciEd curriculum and seamlessly integrate the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).

After piloting and refining these assessments, Cognia is now offering schools and systems an opportunity to adopt these assessments to support their students’ learning. Pilot assessments in elementary and high school are also available to support coherence and cohesion in support of students’ science learning.

Our innovative science assessments for grades 6-8 offer:

  • High-quality tasks that align seamlessly with the OpenSciEd curriculum and the NGSS
  • Longitudinal growth tasks that measure sophisticated science reasoning over time
  • Insights into readiness for end-of-year testing
  • Configurability for your specific scope and sequence
  • Actionable reporting to refine instruction
  • Professional learning materials to support teachers in effective implementation and use
This was a really good test, I enjoyed it. I don't normally enjoy science tests, but this one actually made me think.”
