MYP Science – Year 4 (Grade 9) Assessment Criteria and Levels

Year 4 (Grade 9) Summative Assessment - Key Concept: Relationship

Instructions/Clarification/Rubric
Statement of Inquiry: Measurements and experiments investigating the relationships
Subject: Physics between variables provide evidence to support or disprove scientific claims.

Unit Name: Hooke’s Law, Pressure, Work & Energy Global context: Identities and relationships, scientific innovations
How humans use their understanding of scientific disciplines.

Task Name: Summative assessment What are the important elements that you (teacher) will be assessing with this task?

Task Description: Tasks will be focusing upon the concepts of

Due Date: Hooke’s Law, Pressure, Work & Energy and will be assessing ATL skills:
21 February 2024 Criteria A and B. Communication skills: Presenting data in graphs for Boyle’s law and Hooke’s law
- Day 4 Using and interpreting standard forms and scientific terms.
Platform: Pen and paper test Thinking in context: How are work and energy interrelated?
45 mins duration Date and Block: 21 February 2024 - Day 4 Research skills: Verifying Hooke’s Law
