Scoring guide, Miracle Fish; Outdoor School wrap up

As promised to several of you last week, here is scoring information for the Analysis of The Miracle Fish, Activity 72.  To earn a "3"/ PR (proficient up to 100%), a student's work must include:
1.  a decision (a position of yes or no re "the Nile Perch should have been introduced.")
2.  at least two pieces of evidence in support of the decision.
3. a description of one trade-off of the decision.
I'm sorry I didn't publish this over the weekend.  I was out of town and had internet access problems.

Last week students finished their online research for Activity 73, Introduced Species.  Students are to keep their notes, which are on a special form designed for the Activity.  I hope to use this information in a future lesson.  On Thursday, we did a wrap-up activity to connect information learned during the four Outdoor School field studies of plants, water, soil and animals.  You may ask your child to show you her/ his web, linking the key vocabulary s/he wrote for each field study.
