Exploring Science Learning and Assessment Masters

Learning Masters are provided as needed for Investigate, Think Like a Scientist, and Think Like an Engineer features for Grades K-5.

Learning Masters provide convenient data collection tables and other resources for students to use as they work through selected Investigate, Think Like a Scientist, and Think Like an Engineer features. Encourage students to include these tables in their science notebooks.

Assessment Masters provide rubrics for teachers to assess student achievement in many of the Think Like a Scientist and Think Like an Engineer features. Student rubrics provide an opportunity for learners to reflect on their own progress in these activities.

Rubric Scale

The student worked with a group to identify an animal to mimic, focusing on how the animal uses its body parts for protection.

4 3 2 1

The student worked with a group to design a prototype of their protective solution. The design included a picture and an explanation of how the prototype would work.

4 3 2 1

The student worked with a group to gather materials and build the initial prototype. 4 3 2 1

The student worked with a group to test, evaluate, and redesign (as necessary) the prototype.

4 3 2 1

The student analyzed the results of tests and redesigns and described the prototype to others, pointing out how the prototype is like a body part that an animal uses for protection.
