Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Collaborative Learning: Following from the activities in Archimedes' principle, let learners compare the weights of substances to their respective fluids they displace for both floating objects and non-floating objects and let learners draw conclusions from that. Grouping must cater for vulnerable groups of learners. Opportunity for all to participate. Assessment (2.1.1.AS.3). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding; Level 3 Strategic reasoning. Teaching and Learning Resources: - Stone - Beaker - Measuring cylinder - Electronic - Water balance - Kerosene thread * Irregular shaped object - Regular shaped piece of and wood * Salt spring balance
