Questioning is used at the beginning of the unit to assess prior knowledge as well as throughout to promote discussion and encourage higher-order thinking skills. The lab investigation summary sheet allows the teacher to assess understanding and interpretations of the concepts of the microscale investigations. Students keep science journals throughout the unit to document the scientific process for the investigations and to reflect on their work throughout the project. The teacher periodically checks the journals to ensure that students are on track and are developing their scientific inquiry skills. The project instructions and checklist provide guidelines for students as they develop their project and allow students to self-monitor their progress throughout the project. The slideshow rubric is used to self-assess the slideshows as well as for final assessment at the end of the project. During project work, students develop a proposal that assists in planning and setting a direction for their projects. After project work is complete, a final quiz assesses students’ new knowledge and content understanding.
