  1. Amplify science unit assessments are great, but how can we better support learning and assess what students really know? This bundle includes all unit assessments that align to the units within Amplify Science for 8th Grade Science, but are designed to provide students with a learning experience as

Description

This unit assessment is aligned to concepts for the Light Waves Unit. This assessment is designed to supplement the assessment provided by Amplify Science, however can be implemented without use of the curriculum to assess the conceptual understanding of light waves. 

The assessment is designed to include a storyline about light waves to engage learners in making sense of the phenomena presented. The assessment includes texts and models for students to draw conclusions and answer targeted questions about light waves. 

The assessment is designed with the 3 Dimensions of NGSS in mind, and highlights the ability for students to do science throughout the assessment. An answer key is provided, along with a clear rubric for a written CER response. Within the answer key, you will see how each question aligned with a science and engineering practice. 

The assessment includes 10 questions and 1 CER response. For the CER response, there is a scaffolded writing template included. This template can be given to students requiring additional support in CER writing.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
NGSSMS-PS4-1
Use mathematical representations to describe a simple model for waves that includes how the amplitude of a wave is related to the energy in a wave. Emphasis is on describing waves with both qualitative and quantitative thinking. Assessment does not include electromagnetic waves and is limited to standard repeating waves.
NGSSMS-PS4-2
Develop and use a model to describe that waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. Emphasis is on both light and mechanical waves. Examples of models could include drawings, simulations, and written descriptions. Assessment is limited to qualitative applications pertaining to light and mechanical waves.
