This week, Grade 2 students were excited to engage in a summative assessment that involved building with a variety of materials! Students were given an environment (a building site) and asked to design and build a model structure. Students also needed to identify the forces at work in their structure. These forces included:
Learning Intention: I am learning to build a structure that withstands forces.
- Squeezing / pushing
- Stretching / pulling
- Bending
- Sliding
- Twisting
Learning Intention: I am learning to build a structure that withstands forces.
Materials you can use:
paper, unifix cubes, pattern blocks, sticky tack, tape
Success criteria:
Structure has to withstand the force of wind from a fan
Structure has to withstand the force of a shaking table
Structure has hold the weight of one PET bottle
Structure has hold the weight of one PET bottle
 |
| Students used this HTWW SOLO to ensure their success in this summative |
Students will be assessed on their written reflection and their oral explanation of how they designed their structure based on this Success Criteria. Grade 2 students look forward to sharing these summatives at Student-Led Conferences on March 20!
