How Can our Physics Class Save Lives?

​Characteristics of Exemplary Work

(student’s eyes)
Conceptual Understanding I am able to apply what I Comments:
learn in the classroom to my
community. I can explain or
show through creative
means what is needed to
cause motion, how you can
find an object’s speed, and
the forces that act on an
object even when it is at rest.
I can put “inertia, friction,
force, and motion” in my
own words
Class Participation I am active and enthusiastic
about classroom discussions,
while I also respect our
classroom community by
including others in the
conversation. I respect the
opinions of my classmates. I
come to each class prepared
with a good attitude and the
materials that I need. I am
willing to help others in class
and am respectful with
giving and taking feedback.
Pay it Forward Notebook I am organized and make
sure to complete my work
outside of class when
needed. I use my notebook
as a resource for my class
learning.
Challenge Board I worked with my partner by
researching, testing, and
staying on task in class. I
have created a display for
the assembly that I am proud
of

Specific area of master notebook Characteristics of Exemplary Work

Filing system All course materials are filed in the

appropriate section according to the
system suggested (unless you have told me
of an alternative system)
Chronology All course materials are dated and in
chronological order within their
appropriate section
Note revision There is ample evidence of note revision
practices, such as questions posed in note
margins; additional information not
recorded in class has been added (from
text or from memory), or
highlighters/colors have been used to
mark key terms or ideas.
