I am an 8th grade Science teacher and students are about to take the CAST. How do you prepare students for what they missed during the Pandemic from 6-8th grade?

Nothing. With NGSS it's all about the way they learn to design, test, and then analyze the results. I figure that they should be able to do that regardless of the topics or what did or didn't happen in the past.

I don’t teach to tests.

Let them work the Practice Tests; the CAST is about analyzing and using the data presented. The CAST provides a Periodic Table and a page of formulas & equations.
Warn them about the “rabbit hole” of being presented with additional questions if the “Test” wants more information about a student’s understanding of a specific DCI.
I have had students start with 25 and end with 50 questions ...

Our school uses Foss Kits for Science and I was told when students return, we will need to sanitize all items before and after each use. This doesn’t seem possible in a middle school setting where each period has a 4 minute break and 25 students in each period. What do you do in your classroom to minimize the amount of work needed to clean and sanitize items. I don’t want to short change the students’ hands-on experiences.

Today's high point in my chemistry class: I am teaching Atomic theory and structure. I have my students look at their periodic table and I walk through the information listed for each element. At this point I talk about a lot of big ideas that are related as an prelude to where we are headed. One student told me that she took chemistry last year, and in 10 minute I was able to connect all of the pieces that never made any sense to her. Her 'aha's moment was like candy to me.

Hello. My district is currently remote (virtual) and I am teaching a chemical reactions unit. Usually, this is a hands on unit. I cannot do hands-on labs for equity reasons.

Anyone have suggestions on free simulations I can use? I teach synchronously to my students 2 classes (2 hours total ) each week.
