One of the hardest things about teaching Science is having enough documentation of student learning to justify a fair and accurate grade. Acquiring enough grades can be very difficult, especially if you are using Inquiry based learning. The following articles are very informative and are packed with ideas on assessment.

This is the link to the rubric on "teachers pay teachers" that I handed out in class. It is $1.50 to purchase, but is a fabulous rubric to assess process skills.

A Science Journal is also a great way to document learning. This is site where I found a rubric for Science journals that I am excited to use next year. I passed this one out in class as well.
