Are you ready to present yet?

How is your science presentation progressing? Are you ready to show the other classes yet? How do you know if your presentation is as good as it can be?

Use the self assessment guidelines below to decide if your project is ready to be shared.

Explaining the Science Ideas:

Novice: We can’t explain our science ideas

Apprentice: We have tried to explain a science idea about forces

Practitioner: We can explain two science ideas in our sport using precise science vocab

Expert: We can clearly explain lots of science ideas (3 or more), using accurate science vocabulary to a high standard.

Recording the Process:

Novice: We don't have much to show others about our process.

Apprentice: We have some recordings of our process using some different media.

Practitioner: We have regular recordings of our process using a variety of media.

Expert: We have detailed, regular recordings of our process using a variety of media.

Game on presentations

We have spent some time now learning about everyday forces, particularly gravity, friction, air resistance, push and pull. We even touched on inertia and motion. Here are some of the things Room 11 students have learnt about forces.

The Riverdale Basic Facts Ladder

Climb your way to success! The Basic facts ladder is a tool to assist your Basic facts knowledge. This progression is to help you with the next learning step. Ask your grown-up to help you, then I'll do checks with you back at school.

Have fun climbing the ladder, look ahead and don't be scared of heights.
