What educators are saying

This test has the questions from Amplify PLUS others! Great resource and has a lot of higher-level questions that will challenge students to think outside the box.
Also included in
  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 6th Grade Science, but are designed to provide students with a learning experience as

Description

This unit assessment is aligned to concepts for the Thermal Energy 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 thermal energy. 

The assessment is designed to include a storyline about energy conversion 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 thermal energy. 

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 12 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-PS3-4
Plan an investigation to determine the relationships among the energy transferred, the type of matter, the mass, and the change in the average kinetic energy of the particles as measured by the temperature of the sample. Examples of experiments could include comparing final water temperatures after different masses of ice melted in the same volume of water with the same initial temperature, the temperature change of samples of different materials with the same mass as they cool or heat in the environment, or the same material with different masses when a specific amount of energy is added. Assessment does not include calculating the total amount of thermal energy transferred.
NGSSMS-PS3-5
Construct, use, and present arguments to support the claim that when the kinetic energy of an object changes, energy is transferred to or from the object. Examples of empirical evidence used in arguments could include an inventory or other representation of the energy before and after the transfer in the form of temperature changes or motion of object. Assessment does not include calculations of energy.
