ATLAST created and is disseminating instruments that assess:

  • student learning
  • student opportunity to learn
  • teacher science content knowledge

Three sets of instruments were developed, one for each of three science content areas at the middle grades (6-8) level:

  • flow of matter and energy in living systems
  • force and motion
  • plate tectonics

In addition, ATLAST created a questionnaire to assess teacher views of effective science instruction, as well as several “spinoff” products.
