Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Research-Based Learning: Learners in mixed-ability groups read from the library and Internet on the mechanical properties of materials (i.e. hardness, brittleness, ductility, strength, malleability, toughness, elasticity and plasticity) and let each group present their findings to the class and receive feedback. Talk for Learning: In a class, learners discuss the importance of the mechanical properties of materials in product design. Summarise views using webbing or mind maps. Teaching and Learning Materials: - Textbooks - Internet access - Library - Library resource - Internet access - Audio-visuals - Projectors Assessment (1.1.2.AS.1). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding; Level 3 Strategic reasoning; Level 4 Extended critical thinking and reasoning.
