How Student Performance Is Determined

Student academic performance is judged by teachers against a broad range of learning outcomes from the Alberta Programs of
Study, based on evidence collected from a variety of sources.

Grade Level of Programming (GLP)

Grade Level of Programming (GLP) refers to the grade level of the Alberta Program of Studies. For most students, the GLP will be
the same as their enrolment grade. If the GLP is different from the enrolment grade, this means that instruction and learning activities
have been adjusted to a different grade level of the Alberta Program of Studies, that will better meet the learning needs of the
student. Student performance is reported relative to the student's GLP.
 Description of Curriculum
Curriculum is the statement of outcomes and expectations for student performance, stated in terms of knowledge (what we want
students to know and understand), skills (what we want students to be able to do), and attitudes (how we want students to feel about
what they have learned). These broad statements define the key learnings that students will demonstrate as a result of schooling:

Science 6 Ms. K. Anderson

Topics of Study: Scientific Method, Matter Term 1 A

Strengths:
Umeed demonstrates an exemplary understanding of the following outcomes:
- plan and carry out a fair test using the scientific method, which includes forming a
hypothesis, identifying constant, manipulated, and responding variables, making
observations, and drawing conclusions based on collected data
- describe how the particle model of matter states that as particles slow down, the
attractive forces between them increase, leading to a decrease in the space between
them, while as particles move faster, the attractive forces weaken and the space
increases
- explain how a phase change represents a transition from one state of matter to another;
during a phase change, the volume of the matter may change, but the mass remains
constant
- describe how the Celsius scale is based on the changes in the state of water, defining
0°C as the melting/freezing point and 100°C as the boiling point of water
- explain how water has the unusual property of occupying greater volume in solid form
than in liquid form
- describe how the frozen surface of a large body of water forms an insulating sheet of ice
that protects aquatic life
