New Beyond the Bubble History Assessments of Thinking
Check out our four new Beyond the Bubble history assessments of thinking (HATs). Each assesses students' content knowledge and historical thinking skills.
The assessments are designed to be used formatively. Each follows the same format and taps the same historical thinking skills but presents different documents about which students must reason.

Please note that this is not a complete list of our materials that can be used in elementary classrooms. We've heard from many elementary teachers who have successfully scaffolded other lessons and tasks to use with their students. Rather, this is a list of lessons and assessments designed specifically with elementary students in mind or that have been used successfully by elementary teachers with only minor adaptations.
