Jerry carried on with the same strong effort and desire to do well in science that he has exhibited this entire year. His video reflection on Maglev trains was very informative and clearly explained how Maglev trains function. For all lab reports and projects this year he has demonstrated the same exemplar work and written to explain with good description and detail. I encourage him to keep up these strong efforts next year in grade 8 and to keep striving to do his best.
Bany has stayed consistent with the level of her work this year and I would like to see her take more steps toward improvement. For her lab reports and projects she consistently included the necessary criteria but often did not go beyond the level of stating information…show more content… In the report he did a much better job of outlining his ideas and including all of the rubric criteria for the report. His reflection presentation on Tesla Model X was very interesting and well presented but missed some key parts of the assessment like how the car functioned and a works cited for the information. As he moves on to 8th grade science he can focus on improving his summative assessments by making sure he includes all areas of the rubric and keeping up his creative design and presentation style.
Bella’s strength this year in science has been presentations and projects that allow her to research and reflect upon information she has researched. Her most recent presentation on LED lights was very informative and she did well with sharing her information with the rest of the class. An area she can still look to improve upon is in writing lab reports as her evaluation of the fruit battery experiment was incomplete. She continues to make progress in science but must remember to finish her assessments fully for more success in 8th…show more content… Zia has a good understanding of the requirements of our summative assessments but is still working towards being able to fully explain her ideas for lab reports and presentations. For our most recent reflection project she created an informative video about electric buses but was not able to fully explain all of the information she had found to describe how the bus functions. Zia has made good progress this year in science but must continue to work hard and keep
