Assemble circuits and label

Students are able to investigate and illustrate the flow of electricity requires a closed circuit.
Struggling

Student constructed a circuit with direct assistance from teacher.
Developing

Students are able to construct a complete circuit that carries the flow of electricity to light a bulb with some assistance from teacher.

Student sketches a closed circuit to illustrate the flow of electricity
Exemplarily

Students are able to construct a complete circuit that carries the flow of electricity to light a bulb.

Student sketches a closed circuit to illustrate the flow of electricity and label the parts.
Multiple Circuits

modify one circuit and develop a different path for the electrical current to pass through as evidence by lighting a bulb.
Struggling

Students 1 complete circuit that carries the flow of electricity to light a bulb.

Or

Student is able to modify the circuit to create a new path for electricity to flow with direct teacher assistance.
Developing

Students are able to modify a circuit to create more than 1 path that carries the flow of electricity to light a bulb with some teacher support.
Exemplarily

Students are able to modify a circuit to create more than 1 path that carries the flow of electricity to light a bulb.
Conductors and Insulators

Students are able to identify and classify materials that conduct electricity and materials that do not.
Struggling

Students are able to identify 1 example of a conductor or insulator of electricity.
Developing

Students are able to identify 3 examples of conductors or insulators of electricity.
Exemplarily

Students are able to identify 4 or more examples of conductors or insulators of electricity.
Communication/Participation

Students will communicate design through active participation (asking questions, taking notes) in a science talk.
Struggling

Student was not able communicate their new design with the class and/or did not actively participate (asking questions, taking notes, eye contact with speaker) in a science talk.
Developing

Student tried to communicate their new design with the class with some prompting and actively participated (asking questions, taking notes, eye contact with speaker) in a science talk.
Exemplarily

Student fully communicated their new design with the class and actively participated (asking questions, taking notes, eye contact with speaker) in a science talk.
Sequencing

Students are able to put events in order using sequence words.
Struggling

The student used 1 sequence word, but the events were not in the proper order.
Developing

Student used 2-3 sequence words and puts the events in the correct order.
Exemplarily

Student use at least 4 sequence words and puts all events in the correct order.
Mathematical Thinking

Measurement: Student measures length of wire to the nearest quarter-inch, eighth-inch, and millimeter.
Struggling

Student does not measure the length of the wire accurately ( nearest quarter-inch, eighth-inch, or millimeter)
Developing

Student measures the length of the wire to 2 out of the 3 accurately
Exemplarily

Students accurately measure the length of the wire to the nearest quarter-inch, eighth-inch, and millimeter
Infer/Predict

Students will use their background knowledge to infer/predict which materials will be conductors and which materials will be insulators.
Struggling

Student did made a prediction about which materials will be conductors or insulators, but did not try to explain their reasoning.
Developing

Student made a prediction about which materials will be conductors or insulators, but did not support their predication with background knowledge.
Exemplarily

Student made a prediction about which materials will be conductors or insulators and supported their prediction with background knowledge.
Handwriting

Student writes legibly in print or cursive, forming letters for others to read.
Struggling

Student had to re-write or type their work for other students to be able to read.

*unless IEP
Developing

Student writes in print or cursive, forming letters that were difficult for other students to read.
Exemplarily

Student writes legibly in print or cursive, forming letters for others to read.
