PHASE 8:

(YES…there is a phase 8)

TASK: Participate in an reflective interview with your teacher. You will be asked to look
at your entire Capstone Project and connect it to the Overarching Learning Goals for
this course. Students will highlight learning that links to Overarching Learning Goas as
well as any gaps and will share how these might be incorporated.

EVALUATION: Interview with Overarching Learning Goals Checklist.

R I can demonstrate and explain how my project connects to specific curriculum from this
class
R I can highlight Learning Goals that do not connect to my project and explain why they
were not included and how my project might be modified to demonstrate them.
R I can provide a justification for a final grade for this assignment.

 Art & Science Learning Goals
Art:

A1. The Creative Process: apply the creative process to create a variety of art works,
individually and/or collaboratively.

A2. The Elements and Principles of Design: apply elements and principles of design
to create art works for the purpose of self-expression and to communicate ideas,
information, and/or messages.

A3. Production and Presentation: produce art works, using a variety of

media/materials and traditional and/or emerging technologies, tools, and techniques,
and demonstrate an understanding of a variety of ways of presenting their works and
the works of others.

B1. The Critical Analysis Process: demonstrate an understanding of the critical

analysis process by examining, interpreting, evaluating, and reflecting on various art
works.

B2. Art, Society, and Values: demonstrate an understanding of how artworks reflect
the society in which they were created, and of how they can affect personal values.

B3. Connections Beyond the Classroom: demonstrate an understanding of the types

of knowledge and skills developed in visual arts, and identify various opportunities
related to visual arts.

C1. Terminology: demonstrate an understanding of, and use correct terminology when
referring to, elements, principles, and other components related to visual arts.

C2. Conventions and Techniques: demonstrate an understanding of conventions and

techniques used in the creation of visual art works.

C3. Responsible Practices: demonstrate an understanding of responsible practices

related to visual arts.

Science

A1. Demonstrate scientific investigation skills (related to both inquiry and research) in
the four areas of skills (initiating and planning, performing and recording, analysing and
interpreting, and communicating).

A2. Identify and describe a variety of careers related to the fields of science under
study, and identify scientists, including Canadians, who have made contributions to
those fields.

B1. Assess the impact of human activities on the sustainability of terrestrial and/or
aquatic ecosystems, and evaluate the effectiveness of courses of action intended to
remedy or mitigate negative impacts;

B2. Investigate factors related to human activity that affect terrestrial and aquatic
ecosystems, and explain how they affect the sustainability of these ecosystems;

B3. Demonstrate an understanding of the dynamic nature of ecosystems, particularly in

terms of ecological balance and the impact of human activity on the sustainability of
terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

C1. Assess social, environmental, and economic impacts of the use of common
elements and compounds, with reference to their physical and chemical properties;

C2. Investigate, through inquiry, the physical and chemical properties of common
elements and compounds.

C3. Demonstrate an understanding of the properties of common elements and

compounds, and of the organization of elements in the periodic table.

D1. Assess some of the costs, hazards, and benefits of space exploration and the
contributions of Canadians to space research and technology;

D2. Investigate the characteristics and properties of a variety of celestial objects visible
from Earth in the night sky;

D3. Demonstrate an understanding of the major scientific theories about the structure,
formation, and evolution of the universe and its components and of the evidence that
supports these theories.

E1. Assess some of the costs and benefits associated with the production of electrical
energy from renewable and non-renewable sources, and analyse how electrical
efficiencies and savings can be achieved, through both the design of technological
devices and practices in the home.

E2. Investigate, through inquiry, various aspects of electricity, including the properties
of static and current electricity, and the quantitative relationships between potential
difference, current, and resistance in electrical circuits.

E3. Demonstrate an understanding of the principles of static and current electricity.
