Assessment Methods of
all objectives/skills
Now that we know objects are light or heavy we are going to take it a step
further. I want you to work with a partner and come get a scale from me. I
am going to have students get one of each object: an apple, paper clip, a book,
pencil, an orange and a bottle of water. I will explain I want them to put the
objects on the scale (one on each side) Then on a work sheet they will record
which was heavier and which was lighter. I will explain that I want them to
compare the apple to the paperclip, the orange to the water bottle, and the
book to a pencil. Then draw a picture of the objects one on the heavier side
and one on the lighter side. I will ask students when using a scale how will
they know which object is heavier? (CFU) Yes, the object that is lower is the
heavier one. This is expanding their knowledge further than just is an object
heavy or light and deciding which is heavier.
Formative assessment will be done while students are comparing the weight
of the objects. I will ask them which one is heavier and how do you know
(CFU). For Summative assessment I will have them write down what light
means and what heavy means and draw a picture of an object that is light and
one that is heavy.

Targeted Students Modifications/Accommodations
For students with ADHD I will have them work with a
studious student that doesnt mess around so they can
stay focused. Instead of finding 6 objects I will only
require them to find four objects to cut down on
distractions. When we are sharing on the carpet, I will
have them sit at the front near me so I can keep them
under control. I will also have them come to me after
they have glued down their objects to the correct side
of the page so I can keep tabs on how much work they
are getting done.
Materials/Technology: iPads, worksheets, pencils, scale, objects being compared (orange, pencil, paperclip, book, and a
bottle of water)
