4.++Assessment+Plan

These will be assessed with a pre-assessment survey ([|Systems of Science]).
 * //__Pre Assessment__//**: [[file:AnnaDavis.pdf]]
 * 1) Students must understand the definition of a system.
 * 2) Students need to know the scientific method.


 * //__Formative/Summative Assessments__//**:
 * Formative assessments** are in the form of writing pieces, drawings, and presentations, which all assess the students growth with systems, their parts, and how they are all connected.
 * Summative assessment** is in the form of the final presentation which students work in groups to apply what they know to a different situation. This has the students apply all of the information they have gained to work on a project that they design using the scientific method


 * Big Idea (level of Bloom’s) || Overarching Understanding || Essential Question || Learning Objectives || Assessment Evidence ||
 * Knowledge || Naming Parts of a System || What are the parts of a system and their functions? || Students will draw the system in the classroom, label the parts, and their functions. || [|Label Diagram] ||
 * Understanding || Identifying System parts || How do the parts of a system work together? || Students will write a short paper explaining how the parts of a system work together. || [|Paper] ||
 * Application || Parts of a System || How do I show how the parts of a system depend on each other? || Students will use props or pictures to explain how one part of a system depends on other parts of the same system (e.g. how does the lead in a pencil depend on the wood around the pencil). || [|Presentation] ||
 * Analysis || Inputs and Outputs || What happens when I use different inputs? || Students will compare and contrast different types of inputs and outputs in their science journals. || [|Journal] ||
 * Synthesis || Inputs and Outputs || How would a changed input effect the system? || Students will change an input on their systems and write a reflective piece on what happened to the system based on the change. || [|Reflective Writing] ||
 * Evaluation || Parts of a System || What would happen if one part of a system was missing or broken? || Students will work in groups to make a prediction, use the scientific method to test it, and present their findings. || [|Presentation] ||
