Unit Tests in Science & Social Studies

Instead of paper and pencil multiple choice/fill in the blank/essay tests, we utilize a performance tasks to measure understanding and mastery in Science and Social Studies. Instead of depending on a textbook for knowledge, your child has researched, on their own, California Regions [utilizing a hyperdoc] and "The Birth of Rocks" [plus class experiments]. 

They have created a Google Drawing showing their knowledge. These have been completed over four, one hour class periods. These count as a full test grade [100 points]. 
Your kids are amazing and they are so helpful to each other for those who lacked computer skills when they entered our class. We will be creating individual student BLOGS soon where they will post their work. Here is just one sample:
