Success Criteria In Construction Class
Mr. Rosenthal has been working with his senior construction classes to co-create success criteria for their projects. Success criteria give the student a guide to follow for judging the quality of their work and helps them identify the steps they can take to improve and produce better quality projects.
Last week they brainstormed some basic ideas and today they tested their initial thinking using some exemplars from the class. Students discussed the quality of the work and then improved the success criteria that they will use for the remainder of the project.
Students in Mr. Cassibo's grade 10 science class have been using catapults to collect data while learning about Dependent and Independent variables. The catapult design allows the students to increase the "strength" of the throw by adding elastic bands. Students learned that the distance their object flew was DEPENDENT on the number of bands they added!
