ASSESSMENT

Each lesson has more descriptive information on the specifics of assessment. The lesson plans are more in depth so the teacher will know exactly what is required for each lesson. This is an overview of the assessment practices I, as the teacher, will use.

During this unit plan I will be using both formative and summative assessment.

The formative assessments I will be implementing are creating an optical device, stations, experiments, observations, conferencing, etc.

The summative assessments I will be using are research projects and a final unit quiz on light.

The majority of my assessments will occur throughout observations while the students participate in activities, stations and experiments.

Many evaluations will also occur by reading the students’ journals.

I will assess students by listening to their responses during class/group discussions and conferencing.

The last type of assessment I will use is a final quiz at the end of the unit.

I have included some of the different types of assessment sheets I will be using to observe and grade the students with.

Shadow Race – Shel Silverstein

Every time I've raced my shadow

When the sun was at my back,

It always ran ahead of me,

Always got the best of me.

But every time I've raced my shadow

When my face was toward the sun,

I won.

Shadow Wash – Shel Silverstein

I've never washed my shadow out

In all the time I've had it.

It was absolutely filthy I supposed,

And so today I peeled it off

The wall where it was leaning

And stuck it in the washtub

With the clothes.

I put in the soap and bleach and stuff,

I let it soak for hours,

I wrung it out and hung it out to dry,

And whoever would have thunk

That it would have gone and shrunk

For now it's so much

Littler than I.

Grade 4, Cluster 2: Light

Physical Science

Students will begin to develop an understanding of light by investigating some of the things that can be done with light as a form of energy.

Curricular Outcomes

4.2.01 – Use appropriate vocabulary related to their investigations of light

4.2.02 – Give examples of various forms of energy

4.2.03 – Recognize that energy is an integral part of daily life

4.2.04 – Demonstrate that white light can be separated into colours

General Outcome 2: Comprehend and respond personally and critically to oral,

literary, and media texts.

for short plays, descriptive stories, charts, poems…] to

communicate and demonstrate understanding of forms and

techniques

General Outcome 3: Manage ideas and information.

3.3.4 – Experiment with language: Recognize how words and word

combinations [such as word play, repetition, rhyme…] influence or

Key Concepts:

To learn about light and the effects it has on everyday objects

To learn about the properties of light (e.g: does light bend?)

To expand students vocabulary in regards to light

Multiple Intelligences:

Verbal/Linguistic: Reading station instructions and the log book, writing in the log

book, and completing a crossword puzzle

Bodily/Kinesthetic: Creating shadows and the stations are hands-on

Logical/Mathematical: Predicting what will happen in some stations, and

recording in their log book what actually happens

Interpersonal: Working in groups, discussions within the group

Intrapersonal: Working along on crossword puzzle and log-book

Visual/Spatial: Reflection of light, shadows

Naturalist: explaining answers in some stations

Introduction to Learning Centres on Light:

To introduce the learning centres, we will review the different forms of energy. We will talk about light and places students can find light energy within their home, classroom and school building. Each station will be demonstrated for the students so they are fully aware of what is expected when they get to it. When I explain station six on shadows I will reinforce that students need to move the projector slowly and carefully. There will be absolutely no tolerance for pushing or pulling it quickly because there is a chance it can fall. This no tolerance policy will also be reinforced when it comes to disrespecting classmates or learning centres. Each person in the group will have a turn to use the materials so all students can experience the properties of light. Students will all be given a log-book to fill out while they are moving through the centres. Approximately ten minutes will be given at each station, however time will be adjusted accordingly. Attached to the back of the students’ log-book is an extra diagram of energy forms. It will be explained to the students that they can work on this diagram if they finish all of their long-book questions/responses before the time to change centres is up.

Materials Needed for Learning Centres:

| | |

| |mini flashlights, cellophane cut into square pieces (at least 15 squares), wax paper cut into squares |

| |(minimum 10 squares), aluminum foil cut into squares (minimum 10 squares), paper bags, milk cartons, small |

|Centre 1: |clear plastic bags, clear glass (ENSURE EDGES ARE SMOOTHED), frosted glass, anything else you can find! |

| | |

|Centre 2: |mini flashlights, small straight-edge mirrors, small curved mirrors |

| | |

|Centre 3: |1 large class jar, water to fill jar, 1 regular sized flashlight, small container of milk, 1 eye dropper |

| | |

|Centre 4: |prism and white paper |

| | |

|Centre 5: |enough crossword puzzles for all of the students in the class plus 3 extras |

| | |

|Centre 6: |1 regular sized flashlight, 1 large flashlight |

Assessment:

Assessment of the students will mostly occur through observation. This will take place while the teacher walks around the room and observes the students while they are participating in group work and cooperating with their group members.

Assessment will also include a demonstration of an understanding of light [as a form of energy], and completion of the students’ log-book. The demonstration of understanding will be done by the teacher conferencing with the students at each station. The observations of students will be recorded using a checklist the teacher will create. This checklist will include aspects of curricular outcomes, multiple intelligences and anything else the teacher can think of.

Darlene Diller: Science Methods Handouts. January, 2013

Station One:

Does light travel through every object? Show the difference light creates between transparent, translucent and opaque objects.

Directions:

1. Predict what will happen when you shine a flashlight through the objects. Record your predictions in your log-book.

2. Shine flashlight through different filters to show transparent, translucent and opaque light. Use at least three objects from each bag.

3. When you are done observing the different objects, record the responses in your log-book.

4. Use more than one layer of each object for translucent and transparent objects. What happens? Record the response in your log-book

Transparent Translucent Opaque
