Build a structure from blocks, toothpicks, or other concrete materials, and describe it using geometric terms, so that your partner will be able to
build your structure without seeing it. Use Power Polygons to show if you can compose a rectangle from two triangles of different sizes. Formative
Assessment Cycle Learn more. The project is founded on a learning progression for matter and material and brings together research, curriculum,
assessment, and profession development. Students build their understanding that objects in their daily lives are made of many different types of
materials with different properties. Understanding Structures and Mechanisms 2 Movement 2. Embedded within these strands are the development
of representations most significantly, a number line used to represent weight as well as scientific models and explanations through discussions,
notebooks, and the use of concept cartoons. Assessment Opportunities Assessment for learning, also called formative assessment, is central to
The Inquiry Project and provides the means to identify and chart the development of students' scientific ideas as well as to identify obstacles they
encounter in their learning. The third strand, Investigating Standard Measures , has students share their measurements of weight with each other
and introduces the need for a standard unit of measurement. Some are long and skinny, and some are short and fat, but they all have three sides.
