Opend+Ended+Assessment+Examples

Since this experiment was done on google docs the following student examples are copied from that source. The highlighted sections of the rubric indicate their score in each area. If 2 sections are highlighted then the score was an average of the 2 scores(4 and 3 = 3.5)

//Artifact// //#1:// ===Experiment: Justin Bieber wanted to see which skatebord rolled better. So he put each of his skatebords at the top of a ramp. He then let it roll down the ramp and measured where it stopped. He did this 5 tiems for each skatebord. He found out that his Tony Hawk board went farther so it was better.===

Constants: Ramp, surface

//Artifact #2://
===Experiment: Ty Lawson wants to see who is the best free throw shooter on the Nuggets. To do this he has all the Nuggets shoot 50 free throws. For each one he makes sure there are no distractions. Each person shoots at the same basket and there is no time limit for them to take their shot. Each person shoots at the same time of day with the same amount of energy. When they were done they figured out that Ty Lawson was the best shooter since he made 45 of the 50 shots. 3 other players including The birdman were close as they all got over 40 shots. This means the Nuggets should give the ball to Lawson if they think the other team will foul them since he is the best shooter===

Constants: Same environment(sound, wind, temperature), Same basket to shoot at, Same amount of energy. Same amount of shots, same time of day, same time limit

//Artifact// //#3:// ===Experiment: I wanna see what kind of ball bounces the highest so I'm going to drop them. I will standing on a table and will drop the balls and see how high they go. The basketball will go the highest as it goes up 4 feet===

Constants: table, ball, height, ground
