Abstract | This article discusses the resources available for teachers to apply higher-level thinking and cognitive complexity to their instruction and assessments. While designing higher-level assessments might be a challenging task, doing so not only can improve student achievement in science, it also prepares students for a changing world. Students learn to become independent thinkers and problem solvers, enabling them to adapt and succeed in an evolving workplace. Graphics, scenarios, and quotes are tools to help science teachers conquer the challenge of creating higher-level assessments that incorporate the use of science process skills. Generating effective assessments in science is paramount for assisting students in developing scientific habits of mind and understanding about the nature of science.
