To see how much the students had learnt on mass.
The students engagement with the different tasks
will highlight whether they understand the
overarching concept of what mass is (i.e. light and
heavy mass).
The completion of the think board activity will be
assessed in relation to a checklist that determines
how much the students know.
Students being in level 1 last year would have
experienced being able to lift to compare the mass
of objects (hefting) using words for example:
heavier, lighter and the same.
Experimenting with different types of scales and
hefting when it comes to mass and comparing two
or more objects.
Level 1:
To be able to lift to compare the mass of objects
(hefting) using words, for example, heavier,
lighter, same (VCMMG095).
Level 2:
Compare & order several shapes & objects based
on length, area, volume & comparing using
appropriate uniform informal units
(VCMMG115).
Level 3:
Measure, order and compare objects using familiar
metric units of mass (VCMMG140).
