This is a summative assessment. However, if students need extra support, you can choose to allow them to use the classroom consensus model, their science notebooks, as well as their responses to the Exit Ticket from Lesson 6 to help them complete the sea turtle transfer task. Since the phenomenon they will be exposed to will be new, they will not find exact answers to the assessment in their notes, and allowing this support may help students make explicit connections to the work they did in class.

This assessment encourages students to demonstrate their understanding of key skills and concepts from the unit multiple modalities, including writing to explain and drawing models. There have been several opportunities to assess many of these elements throughout the unit. If any students have already demonstrated security in their ability to use system and system models to describe the transfer of energy, consider providing those students Form B: Sea Turtle Assessment. The standard assessment (Form A) has some scaffolds in place to help students begin their models. The alternate version (Form B) does not have any framed model starters.
