An Interdisciplinary Unit on Space
Assessment will take place using a variety of methods in each
respective class. Possible approaches may include Power Point or
video presentations, formal essays, speeches, reports, or in the case of
Science, the degree of success of the individual student's rocket launch.
- A Power Point presentation with 10 to 15 slides describing what
students felt was the most interesting or exciting thing they learned
during their study of space. The presentation must include an
introduction and conclusion, a picture of their group and names of group
members, at least two other pictures, and a reference page.
- Video presentations should follow a similar format and should convey
the knowledge the student has acquired during the unit. The
student will be given a large degree of creative leeway regarding the
method of production. Whether a student wants to create a
fictional scientist, alien, or historical character to emulate for
their presentation is a possibility. Presentations should be 5 -
10 minutes in length.
- Type-written essays, speeches, and reports will occur throughout the
unit as additional methods of assessment. Students will produce
creative writing essays, develop timelines, and report on media
articles related to our unit of study.
