__**Kindergarten Unit**__
The prediction/experience chart is designed primarily for high ability students. They will complete it on Day 3 of the unit. All students will engage in verbally making predictions and describing the results of the investigation, but the high ability students will take the additional step of recording the predictions and results for the class.



On Day 5 of the unit, all students will use the "I Can Make Things Move" worksheet to illustrate and describe one way that they make things move with a push and one way they make things move with a pull. Their drawing, writing, and neatness will be assessed with a rubric.



**__Fifth Grade Unit__**
The students will use the note-taking graphic organizer to keep track of the information they gather about the force they are studying. They will also use a worksheet to aid them in citing their sources. Students will have access to the grading checklist from the first day of the project so that they are aware of the expectations. The conferencing log will be used by both the students and teacher or media specialist as a communication tool and formative assessment midway through the project.
