ENERGY AND MATTER
NGSS CrossCutting Concepts
Grades 3-5
Can energy can be transferred in various ways and between different objects?

Science and Engineering Practices
Students who demonstrate understanding can:

Make observations to provide evidence that energy can be transferred from place to place by sound, light, heat and electric currents.
Apply scientific ideas to design, test, and refine a device that converts energy from one form to another.

Essential Question:
How can a problem be stated so that it can be solved?
Working together and expressing ideas in words, sketches, and models are helpful in coming up with different solutions to problems.

ANIMOTO

Creativity and Innovation
E-Portfolios and Presentations
Grades 3-12
Can the use of images, sound and color effect
long term memory and perception in the classroom?

PHOTO DEX

Technology Operations and Concepts
Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology.

Select and use applications effectively and productively

EVERNOTE

QUICK RUBRIC

Essential Question:
How does the use of media influence the brain's perception of which information should be stored in long term or short term memory?
Students who demonstrate creativity and innovation will apply existing knowledge to generate an e-portfolio that showcases new ideas, products and processes of lessons explored in class this year. Choices of the e-portfolio will include Animoto, PhotoDex and Evernote.

Each student will select the digital platform of their choice to communicate information and ideas covered in class during 1st and 2nd semester.
As a whole class students will design and create a rubric that will determine what should be included in each portfolio and the criteria the e-portfolio will be graded upon.
Please refer to your teacher's list of required items required for the e-portfolio and the date each element of the e-portfolio is due.
Mrs. Hibbets and Mrs. Abbey will review your work in progress and provide your final grade.
