Essential & Unit Questions 1 Benchmarks 2 Assessments 3 Using Assessments to Monitor Student Learning
What is necessary for making a bulb light? If a circuit doesn't work, what are some possible reasons?

12C(3-5)#5: Make safe electrical connections with various plugs, sockets, and terminals.

ILS 12C#1 (Stage B): Constructing and testing simple electric circuits with batteries.

11A(3-5)#2: Something may not work as well (or at all) if a part of it is missing, broken, worn out, mismatched, or misconnected.

Teacher observations of students' ability to construct closed circuits & class discussion lesson

Are students able to make working circuits with conductors?

  12A(3-5)#1: Keep records of their investigations and observations and not change the records later.

ILS 11A#3 (Stage C): Reading and recording data into student-created tables, charts, or journals.

Student entries in lab journals (See Procedure Steps 3 & 4 on page 46 in Teacher's Guide.)

  • Are students able to construct a data table that resembles the one on page 46 in the Teacher's Guide?
  • Do the students record their predictions?
  • Do students accurately record the results of their experiment?

1. For conceptual benchmarks.
2. Bolded sections indicate portion of benchmark addressed
3. Unless noted as a Summative Assessment, the assessments are formative and should be used to guide teaching and learning.
