Other Work Samples for:
Jamie has selected and used appropriate tools, materials and joining techniques to make a boat. Aim, material and method have been included but there is no picture to show the design features of the boat. A test has been conducted to see whether the boat could float and possible improvements have been implied through the identification of a fault rather than explained. Jamie has used scientific language effectively to communicate ideas. This work sample demonstrates characteristics of work typically produced by a student performing at grade B standard.
Grade B
The student has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the content and a high level of competence in the processes and skills. In addition, the student is able to apply this knowledge and these skills to most situations.Foundation Statement strands
The following strands are covered in this activity:
- Investigating Scientifically
Students conduct guided investigations by following a series of steps that include questioning, making and testing predictions, collecting and recording data, observing patterns and suggesting possible explanations. They select and safely use a range of equipment, computer-based technology and other resources to investigate and explore. - Designing and Making
Students follow a guided design process to create products, including information products, services and built environments. They draw and model design ideas using accepted methods and practices. They select and safely use a range of equipment, computer-based technology and other resources when designing and making. - The Made Environment
Students identify the difference between natural and built environments and model built environments designed to suit the needs of users. They communicate messages using a variety of media and technologies. Students describe and apply production processes using a range of materials and techniques to grow, make or process products.
