Assessment task 2: Inquiry Learning Sequence

Provide a title page here, with your name, student number and unit information

Task template

Year level and curriculum links

(you can provide a brief description with hyperlinks to the curriculum document; select cross-curricular capabilities)

 

Learning intentions:

(Student-friendly I-statements, identifying the observable or measurable outcomes desired)

 

Project Description:

(Describe the task(s). What major concepts will your students explore and how does it relate to a real-world issue?)

 

Products and/or performance:

(What will students produce as evidence of the learning intentions?)

 

Audience:

(How will your students share their work and with whom?)

 

Resources:

(What resources will you provide to your students? Include activities here as well, such as field work, guest speakers, etc.)

 

Differentiation

(Outline differentiated teaching strategies for at least one student in need of differentiation; keep in mind that in a real-world classroom, you will need to make adjustments for a number of students)

 

 

Project-based learning sequence

(Create your own table or diagram here, indicating a sequence of lessons.)

 

Analysis and justification

(Provide an analysis of how your students will engage in science inquiry, using a student-centred approach. Link to your project-based learning plan to indicate when this will occur. Justify how your project-based learning sequence engages and advances students in science learning. Make use of academic literature where appropriate.)

 

Assessment guides (Formative and summative)

(Your formative assessment guide should monitor the process and progress of your students learning; the summative guide will assess the learning outcome through the use of performance descriptors for relevant criteria. Ensure that you tailor the rubrics of each of these two assessment guides to the task(s). Be specific and make use of verbs. Avoid adjectives that are subjective such as ‘excellent’ or ‘satisfactory’ and avoid ambiguous language)

 

Reference list

(List your references in APA 7th edition referencing style. Ensure that all references you have used as in-text citations in the text, such as under ‘science inquiry’ or ‘justification’, are listed here. Include academic literature that is available through the ACU online library.)
