IB Assessment for Group 4 Project

Picture
IB Personal Skill Rubric.  The score out of six points maximum here is a required element of final IB Group 4 scoring.  

Further assessment for WFS credit will be described in each individual class.

WFS Assessment of Group 4 Project

In HL Biology, your WFS evaluation will be based on the following pieces being complete and thoughtfully accomplished.

1.  Personal Skills - I will consult you group's peer evaluation comments, but also heavily rely on my own observations and  reports from other teachers.  If yesterday was not up to the desired standards, you have the next session to improve the quality of your participation.

2.  Manipulative skills - handling equipment, carrying out design, the practical side of data collection. (I am adding that rubric below)

3.  Complete documentation, including (a) the planning packet, (b) the background research from all science represented in your group, (c) the baseline measurements and description of the conditions (with replicates of course), (d) outline of the design (could be included in your planning packet or as a separate document) and (e) two peer evaluations, one for each day.

2011: Design of a Science Olympiad Event on the topic of Biofuels
2010: Design and analysis of a roof garden (Delaware State winner Longwood Garden Fairchild Challenge)
2009:  Sustainable School (Identification and Analysis of Efficiency of School Resources)
2008:  Auditory Analysis of Glucose Solutions as a Model for Monitoring Blood Glucose Levels in Diabetics (supported in part by 
           the University of Delaware's "Nature Inspired Research in Engineering", in collaboration with Dr. Annette Shine
           Univ. of Del., Dept. of Chemical Engineering)
2007:  Energy as a Theme in Science (From Food to FItness)
2006:  Science of Sport (Tennis, Track, Lacrosse...)
2005:  Ecological Field Studies of the Delaware Bay - Year 2
2004:  Ecological Field Studies of the Delaware Bay - Year 1
