Science Semester 1 reflection

Evidence of organization

Above are the documentations of my science notebook.

Throughout the year, my notebook has improved as a tool that assists my learning. Initially, there was just pages of text, but now I learned to use graphs and symbols to represent ideas.

Evidence of active learner habits

Above is my active learner rubric. I have struggled in remembering to bring my supplies to class, following directions, and reviewing for assessments. I once made a mistake on my 3 for 3, but eventually corrected it. I have made progress, as now I always bring my needed supplies to class and I follow directions on assignments. My 3 for 3 grades are much more consistent now.

Evidence of understanding key concepts

In the second semester, I began to have a constant score on my 3 for 3s demonstrating my successful understanding of key concepts.

Evidence of Growth in Science skills

The skill I chose to reflect on is engaging in argument from evidence.

  • Standard 1: Developing and Using Models               
  • Standard 2: Constructing Explanations and Designing Solutions                  
  • Standard 3: Engaging in Argument from Evidence (CER)                  
  • Standard 4: Asking Questions and Defining Problems                      
  • Standard 5: Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking
  • Standard 6: Obtaining, Evaluating, and Communicating Information                      

I improved in my CER abilities as my writing performance improved as time passed. I changed from misusing evidence to writing a sophisticated CER.

I believe in the 2nd semester I would continue to improve as a learner in science.
