Question are grouped by standard and they are open ended. There are only 1 or 2 questions per standard.
I recommend letting students use their science journals, the CER discussion guide, and sentence starters to write their responses. I also recommend encouraging students to draw labeled diagrams.

They may access any information they want, they just need to show that they understand the information and can apply it.
