Lesson: Electric Circuits and Schematics Grade/subject: 5th grade/ Science SCORING RUBRIC Observation

Task Students can use the given objects to complete a circuit Student can participate in a discussion regarding circuits 2 Student completes the circuit on first attempt without assistance from peers Student can accurately explain their circuit, using terms learned in class, and determine if it is series or parallel Partners are successful at making a circuit. More than one circuit is made Both partners contribute ideas and collectively come up with a design for the circuit 1 Student watches others to figure out how to complete the circuit Student can explain the circuit without the correct use of vocabulary words; student cannot determine the type of circuit Partners successfully complete one version of the circuit with little help from peers or teacher One partner takes charge and designs the circuit with little to no communication 0 Student is unsuccessful at getting the bulb to light Student can neither explain the process of creating a circuit, nor determine the type Partners are unsuccessful at any attempts to create the circuit Neither partner completes the task; communication about the task is minimal to none Score

Students work in partners to created a second circuit using the instructions provided Students communicate ideas with their partner

Subjective/ constructive response performance assessment
