Assessment strategy

Suggestions for gathering information about student learning are provided in

each of the activities in this module. Once sufficient information has been

collected, judgments can be made about students’ demonstrations of

outcomes. Typical demonstrations of this module’s intended outcomes are

provided here to indicate the pattern of behaviour to look for when making

judgments.

1.3 Students look for alternative ways that familiar materials can be used.

Students may:

• describe properties of familiar materials, using appropriate terminology;

• describe various uses of one material and identify the properties that make

it useful for that purpose.

2.3 Students explain why common materials are used in particular

situations.

Students may:

• make links between common materials and their uses;

• explain the properties that make materials useful in particular situations;

• explain how various materials have changed their usefulness throughout

history;

such as building a house.
