Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Think-pair-share: With the materials provided set up experiment for students to determine the refractive index of a rectangular prism. Exemplars - Determine sin i, sin r, i = angle of incidence r = angle of refraction. - Determine the ratio of sin i to sin r Encourage the appreciation and valuing of the skills and abilities of individuals from diverse backgrounds, including gender, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and disabilities. Assessment (1.2.2.AS.2). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 3 Strategic reasoning.
