Stage 1- Desired Results

Connections to Context: Transfer

Students will be able to independently use their learning to…

Amount of trash produced by students
Amount of water students use
Distance between home & school
● Understand their relation to the world around them
● Understand the impact of events (natural disasters etc)
● Compare customary units of measurement using models
● Justify the use of models

(What kinds of long-term independent accomplishments are desired?)

 Stage 2- Evidence

Evaluative Criteria Students will show their learning by… (summative assessment)

● MidChapter PERFORMANCE TASK(S):

checkpoint
● Project Rubric - ● Collection of measurement data in their area
teacher ● Construction of models
● Presentation Rubric ● Presentation of data to a small group
- Peers
● MidChapter Checkpoint

(What criteria will be used in each

assessment to evaluate attainment of the
desired results?)(rubric required)

(Regardless of the format of the OTHER EVIDENCE:

assessment, what qualities are most
important?)
● Project Reflection
1. Understanding the
relationships ● Large Group Dicussion
between different ● Partner Confrences
measurements. ● Homework completion
2. Understanding one’s
self in the context
they live in using
measurements to
assess the surrounds

Unit pre-assessment will be completed via a google form before the first lesson is taught
Every day there will be a survey of prior experience with the present topic done by the teacher at the beginning of every lesson.
